While everyone in the book is paired off in a relationship (something I usually wouldn't like) none of them feel forced and just as much importance and growth is put into friendships and romantic endeavors.
Kaz and Inej will always be an incredibly written romance to me with both of them not just getting over their trauma for eachother but wanting to and prevailing because of it.
I thought the way this book writes women is brilliant, especially in a sex trafficking and war context, and has themes around sexism, but yet the main cast of charactors do not treat eachother differently based on gender. The bisexual representation of Nina and Jesper felt slightly forced to me and I didn't like how they fit into the stereotype of "I'm a wh*re and flirt with everyone". That being said they were both well developed charactors which were not represented entirely by their sexualities, in fact they were only briefly mentioned.
Chapter 26 of this book is the height of it and absolutely broke me. It will always be a fundamental moment of my psyche and my writing ability.
There was a scene right at the end of the book that felt kind of rushed and "too perfect." That made me very sad because I wanted the happy ending to be written well if it was going to be there.
I felt like Mathias' death was very rushed and unnecessary and I found myself not really caring
Moderate: Gore and Sexual violence
