What was this book😭
I loved the multiple POVs because all of the perspectives were interesting and gave us information to fathom the situation all over Orea (and elsewhere).
Malina’s point of view was my favorite in this book, ngl. That’s a redemption arc right there. You go, Queenie.
My mind is still a jumbled mess after having just finished this book and I’m trying to gather my thoughts haha.
Auren is honestly so great and the ending????? What?? WHAT?

honestly, I can’t go through another amnesia trope anytime soon because I already read two of those this year and I always feel like they take years off of my life because of how stressful they are

Kaila deserves every bad thing that could possibly happen to a person and I mean that with everything I have.
To use one of my favorite quotes: “I wouldn’t wish that upon my worst enemy, unless we’re talking about my enemy Kaila. Fuck you, Kaila, you know what you did.”
I’m pretty sure “Goldfinch” is gonna give me like 20 almost-heartattacks but at least we still have loads of time to recover til then.

This book wrecked me and is probably the best one in the series. There’s so much emotional growth and grief. We get to see these characters really struggle through some of the most difficult challenges they’ll face.

Malina really surprised me and I’m happy and proud of her redemption arc. I think it was done really well.

the plot moved along nicely and the changing povs felt like I was watching a tv show. The cliffhanger had my jaw dropping. I can’t wait for the next one.
