Usually the second book in a trilogy is the one I’m not a fan of, oh how wrong I was. I freaking ADORE Lore and am so happy he had more “screen time” in this book. It’s giving ACOTAR vibes since there’s a douchebag she crushes on in the first book, then finally discovers the truth in the second. Fallon is still a little hard to love, but she’s honestly been growing on me. Her and Lore’s relationship makes me feel all giddy and I’ll find myself smiling while reading a scene between them. They have an actual connection and I’m obsessed with how the author brings them together so seamlessly. 
5⭐️ I’ll take 14 of ‘em

I still very interested in the story. But was not in the mood. Need to learn to postpone if it is not feeling right.
