Oh that naughty cliff-hanger!!!
If you want a badass lead female, beautiful and dark worldbuilding, and tough yet soft lead males, this is the novel for you!
I am absolutely in love with this novel, I couldn't get enough of it! The world-building is extremely well done, no info-dump occurring - instead a flowing narrative that introduces plot-points and characters seamlessly.
Each character perspective/narration had their own personality and voice, building on both their own storyline as well as the communal narrative, and this distinction made the jumps between characters smooth. Additionally, the changes between narration are well placed - not jumping for the sake of jumping - but instead flowing along as a natural change.
I look forward to the continuation of this series, as I still can't get enough of that CLIFFHANGER!!!!!
