This is the first Rebecca Yarros book I’ve read that hasn’t had me bawling by the end (except some happy tears!) and I’m so glad haha I needed the break from the regularly scheduled devastation that she loves to put her readers through, though I continuously go back for more, so she’s definitely doing something right! Anyway, loved this book, the story, the characters, and the love and growth that our characters went through! Beautifully written!

This book had me hooked. The writing is gorgeous and there were so many quotes I fell in love with. The music and movie mentioned are awesome. The shift from past to present lines up so well. The relationship between Izzy and Nate is swoon-worthy and heartbreaking at the same time. I’m not typically a fan of reading about military/war but I absolutely loved this book.

The white savior complexe in this book and the sick way she represented afghanistan and used it as a plotpoint for the most bland characters and the most cringey romance ever made me so disappointed .
