Probably my favorite book out of the series so far. I found it so interesting to read how Snow was calculating and cold, yet there was also a spark of good in him when it came to Lucy Gray. It was also fascinating to read about how

Dr. Gaul's

ideology as his teacher shaped him. The ending shocked me, although I knew something had to be coming to make Snow the antagonist once and for all.
