I really loved this book, it’s better than the previous one.
⛔️ Spoilers ahead ⛔️
I loved Cameron and Evangeline POVs and enjoyed being in their heads for a change. Mare is good but she can’t pick aside just like Cal, she’s desperate and in love-hate relationship with Maven … yes she hates him but at the same time he’s all she can think about and want his attention and get jealous and want to convince herself she doesn’t care about him all the time.
Maven’s back story just broke me, i mean i guessed before his mother did something with his brain but I didn’t imagine it to be that bad, she converted him into a sociopath and i just hated her more.
and can we talk about how the bath tub scene is THE BEST .. I don’t know why but my heart broke into millions and millions pieces after reading that chapter it was so great i felt every emotion … I’m not ready to read how my mavey baby gonna die 😢😭💔

If I'm being nice about it I would have to say Mare Barrow is not the brightest main character. She is flawed but knows it and even with a cool power that makes her different gets captured somehow.
That said I think I'm done with this series because both her and Evangeline are getting railroaded over. And I don't care enough to read War Storm for now to see how everything ends for them.
But I did enjoy the megatrons, and differen new characters who had the same power as Mare. Not to mention howsilver Evangelin mperspective. It made this book more interesting and brought a lot more complexity to see the bad peoples side.

I’m conflicted by how much I actually like this book vs. how much of it is just curiosity to see how it ends. I never felt bored reading this book and personally feel that the writing gets better with each one in the series. Interesting focus on trust vs. love vs. need that I like a lot. The ending was a bit rushed in my opinion, but overall I enjoyed this installment the most (so far). Also didn’t mind the different POVs, which I usually find annoying in books (probably because she still focused on Mare as the main character rather than too much splitting).
