This was good, felt like a VE Schwab novel. Darker than a lot of YA, but still clearly YA. I fell in love with the characters from the beginning, especially August. The overall plot seemed a little.... incomplete to me, which partially makes sense given this is a duology, but I did feel like there was something missing.

Fascinating world, I hope we dive deeper into the politics and dynamics in the next book.

3.75-The premise was fascinating and I was excited about what was to come. August’s struggle to be human was heart tugging. I was hoping for a romantic relationship between the two leads but it fell flat. The twists were amazing and unexpected!
It just left me feel meh!
I started reading the last book but I’m not feeling a strong connection to it.

i had fun and thought the overall story was interesting, and the monsters were super cool, but the setting was sort of whatever to me. i still really enjoy schwab's writing, and i'm curious to see how the duology ends.
