adventurous dark mysterious sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

This book has so much action it made my head spin. Usually second books in a trilogy are slow and have a lot of set up but not this one. The ending was so chaotic I’m not sure where or how the next book will continue on.

I don't even have words. This book was a ROLLERCOASTER of emotions. And for anyone wondering, I was not okay and I definitely threw my book across my couch at the end 😅
I am very glad I have the next book and can jump in right away. No idea how everyone waited when they were being released...
