👏👏👏 This book gets an extra star, the plot is so damn good. I will admit that it may should have been 2 books instead of one, rounding out the series into a trilogy instead of a duology, but that’s really an editing complaint and not a plot point pain. There was one specific part where I started literally clapping and yelling “FINALLY, FINALLY!!!” I will say also that this plot didn’t go how I thought it would. It twisted and turned in a completely unexpected way. If you like books like Fourth Wing you’ll love this. It’s a very NA book with some serious violence, with a few added spicy scenes that were an unexpected bonus. To me it left an opening for another book series (similar to a “years later” deal like the second Red Rising series) that I would immediately preorder if announced.
