the character development in this book was so good; all of them grow but seth, darcy, and darius specifically shocked me in a very good way. if i'm honest more seth + darcy than darius because he was stubborn about his stupid politics until pretty much the very end but i feel like he really turned a corner. i've never hated seth as much as i should've but he really improved in this book and made an effort to be a better person (not sure why but i'm not complaining) and darcy got the chance to step up and gain self confidence. she's always seemed pretty docile and amenable to a fault next to tory but she's shown she's not to be underestimated at all and i loved it so much; i knew she was capable of it and it's so satisfying i feel like a proud mother!!
i'm sure geraldine's dialogue is objectively way over the top but in the 800 pages of psychological torture i was just happy for something silly to amuse me so i didn't throw my phone at the wall. again the last 20% just got batshit crazy but i loved it; it felt like they were finally able to land a strike after so long waiting and preparing. on another note i really feel for xavier (i swear this is not girl hate but) i don't think sofia deserves him at all. she's really nice as a character otherwise but xavier deserves to have someone that cares about him as much as he cares about her and she doesn't really fit that.

Anyway, this book had too many POVs. Some were only 2 pages long?? Not necessary.
Some shit happened I didn't enjoy at all but I'm gonna focus on the good.
Tory and Darius! F*ck yes! I hope I don't regret this hope building up inside of me.
Darcy and Orion, thank f*ck! I was gonna be more than pissed if Darcy kept behaving that way toward Orio.
And until this book I was 100% still a Seth hater, but he really redeemed himself here. And him being with Caleb would honestly be amazing.
Geraldine! Her whole family is amazing!
But, let me backtrack to the best f*cking part of this damned book.... Darius and *Mildred* in the suite after the wedding.
I choked on my coffee.

Great troubles plague the Vega Twins as they face separate lives under the cruelty of their enemies. But where fate toys with it's strings, new alliances and old emerge, bringing together the star's plans for the fated throne of Solaria.
I think one of my notes sums up my feelings about this book really well, "I would like to CATCH A BREAK PLEASE." This book hits the ground running and genuinely doesn't stop until the very last sentence. It's easily the most wild of the entire series so far, and twisted up my emotions like nothing else. I found myself upset more than once at the sheer amount of pain, but still really, really enjoying the sheer amount of insanity that was going on. Once you're on the ride, you kind of just want to throw your hands up and go with the adrenaline rush.
Since I refuse to talk about spoilers in my reviews, just know that when the thing happened at the end with the place and the man and the thing in the place and then they got back to the room and then I was ready to SCREAM and then I DID SCREAM and then THAT HAPPENED and I KNEW IT and anyways Eugene for president??? K.
I need to charge my iPad and start book seven.
