Did I read this in less than a week? Yes. I devoured it. I love the world building and character building. It’s unique to Piper and I can’t wait to have more!
Thank you to Netgally and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book.
This book was beyond words. I read it immediately after finishing the first book (which I rarely do) and within a day I had managed to finish it, while simultaneously sobbing. The stories of these characters are so compelling. They have not lived easy lives and you can see the toll that their sheltered yet difficult lives have taken on them. The author does an amazing job at highlighting the conflicting emotions that these characters are feeling while also showing that they are human, they make mistakes, but they are learning and growing. Piper CJ does a fabulous job at making you fall in love with the characters and as a reader you feel the joy and pain alongside the narrator. I also have really come to appreciate the speratic chapters that are from the POV of a side character. CJ includes these at the perfect time, and each and every time they come up I am beyond thankful to have that characters perspective in the moment as it provides so much clarity to the situation. I will be anxiously counting down the days until book 3 is published through Bloom as I cannot wait to read it and am sure there will be so many more tears to follow.
