A really fun read! The world building takes a bit of getting used to, but is extensive and enjoyable once the reader begins to understand. Some of the action scenes got a bit confusing to read since all of the characters were in different places at a different times and I found myself having to go back and double check the maps frequently to orient myself. Otherwise the characters and interactions were enjoyable to read and the plot was fun and exciting! Although this is technically YA, I don’t think I would recommend to younger readers as it does contain some heavy and dark subject matter that may be misinterpreted by preteens.

I do not give out 5 star ratings lightly and my lord this is probably one of the best books I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. The plot on its own is gripping, thrilling, and complex. Add in the authors perfect balance of detailed descriptions and witty humor, along with some of the most riveting character I’ve ever  fallen in love with, and you have a magical story. 

I cannot recommend this book enough, I’m only sorry I’ve spent so long sleeping on it. There were moments where I felt pure disgust and dread at the fate of the wonderfully portrayed character, and other times when I felt elated and joyful at their blooming relationship, platonic and otherwise. 

This story will take you down fanatical twists and turns that you didn’t know a human brain could scheme up. I’m so obsessed, this is an absolute MUST READ!
