Perhaps this says too much about my upbringing and life experience yet I’ll admit, I didn’t find the bullying to be off putting and it was not until the end that I felt its impact. That said, there is a ton of bullying done through the whole book so if that’s not your thing… be warned. It’s beyond mean girls and crosses a lot of lines. Physical and emotional bullying/abuse is hard to read and there is a lot in this story. Underneath the bullying there is some plot driven acts that add to the mystery.
I haven’t read much on this series, but already, I have some theories and suspicious people that I don’t think are supposed to be obvious…yet. We’ll see how that goes.
The Vega sisters are walking contradictions and frustrate me… especially because they walk right into too many traps that are screaming DON’T. Their sisterly bond and love for each other is admirable and one of my favorite parts. For that alone, and the fact that deep down they care about others they consider friends/allies keeps me rooting for them.
The boys are all a**hol**. Yet, I can’t help but feel some of them are not wholly corrupt… more to come there I suppose.
Ok so on to my theories….
- Caleb truly cares for Tory
- Seth cares for Darcy?
- Orion cares for Darcy
- Diego is sus and may be a harpy?
- Diego spiked the drinks but Sofia foiled his plan and is working with the harpies
The book ends on a cliffhanger but it’s not a I will die if I don’t find out what it is. The setup is there to have an uphill climb until the Reckoning during which we’ll know if the Vega girls can survive. The series is long so I imagine that is only Act 1.
