Well well well. I guess I’m a big dumb stupid idiot.
Ok, fine, WHATEVER I’m on team Grim now but I’m not happy about it. Just know that when he shows up in the next book and I’m kicking my lil feeties whenever he talks, I’m doing so reluctantly and against my better judgement.
BUT even so, I still think Oro is a better person. I actually like him a lot and he deserves some happiness too. It’s just that I don’t think he’s the right guy for Isla cause she’s a moron (said with love cause she rocks but also makes a lot of stupid, rash decisions when the fate of her people is LITERALLY on her shoulders).
The new characters were quite interesting, although since there were so many of them it was a little hard to connect with them. I will never ever trust those wee little Starlings.
Anyways, JEEZ the second half of this book was a whole lotta plot twists. It was a fun, wild ride! I’m very curious as to what is happening in the next one.
ALSO SIDE NOTE: I think that name Lynx for a pet leopard is dumb. Literally a whole different cat species. Feels disrespectful.
