Shoutout to this book for having a "none pizza, left beef" reference in it and also making me cry.
I'm still digesting this one... Not sure I enjoyed it quite as much as the first book, but I still very much enjoyed it. The first half of it was pretty confusing and harder for me to get through (although I was still invested). But once it got into the second half and I better understood what was going on, I was a lot more engrossed in it.
I loved the chapters in Gideon's perspective, her narration is hilarious. Also, just like in the first book, the dynamic between Gideon and Harrow makes me go insane.
I'm not sure what else to say about this, besides that it's a real whirlwind of emotions and I'd go from horrified to tearing up to cracking up laughing in the span of like one page.
I have no idea what happened at the end but I want to read the next book very soon. I feel like that's just the Locked Tomb experience.
