Pleaaaase.. The plot twist?! I feel gaslit...
I think I saw a little bit of it coming, but, I refused to believe it.
Let me take a moment to grieve my girl. She ain't dead, but, she is to me... iykyk.

The build up to the end result was so good, in my opinion. I know a lot of people thought it was slow, but there was actually a lot going on. I would've loved a bit more world building, but that didn't hinder the story in any way for me.
This book is YA, but, there was enough tension to carry it to the end. Like, seriously. The tension was palpable, and I loved it! There were some cringe moments, but again, It's YA.

I may be the only one who actually likes who Isla ends up with in the end!! I was rooting for him. My emotions were all over the place. I really thought he was going to end up screwing her over. I love him!
Spoiler"That was the moment I knew I loved you. When that arrow went through your heart and it might as well have gone through mine.


Overall, really fun experience reading this book! Can't wait to start Nightbane!

I almost DNFed this because I felt that almost nothing happened in the first 80%ish - for every chapter of actual plot there were six chapters of nothing. The last 20% was really good so now I’m trying to get the sequel on audio. I think the world building could’ve been a bit better because there were things that confused me a bit during the book but I just rolled with it. 

its bad loved it though

I’VE LOVED THIS BOOK
THERE’S A PLOT TWIST AFTER ANOTHER, JUST AMAZING
