*Big shoutout to HotKeyBooks for sending this book my way to review!*
I went to bed one night and thought I’d read a couple of chapters of this before bed. I made a grave error. I accidentally sat for three hours straight and read the whole thing instead. Oops. When I say this series is binge worthy, I mean it.
I love these books, and it was fun to have these characters back in my life - but this book did feel like a filler. If I had to tell you the plot of this book, it could do it in five seconds. Nothing actually happened in it except a recount of somebody else's life, essentially. I understand why it was relevant to the plot and I really enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong, but it could’ve been part of something bigger. The book should’ve been longer and had more happening plot-wise, because it didn’t move our story or our characters forward at all. Like, was the book needed and idd it add much value to the story? No. Did I enjoy every second of it anyway? Yes.
I do appreciate how this book went deep into racism and it taught me some history about the atrocities the British committed in India and how it affected families for generations afterwards. It was history I’d never heard of, and really gave great background into the lives of these characters and the things that shaped them. It did well in highlighting racism and the utter hypocrisy and cruelty of the upper classes, predominantly rich White men in how they treated those they deemed below them. It was hard to read at points.
Again with this book, you have all of the insanity that comes with secret societies and it was very dark - as is pretty standard with this series.
It was really fast paced and kept me wanting to read more and more every chapter I got through. It was a great follow up to the last books, and didn't hesitate to suck you back into the world again. It really had great momentum and it still surprises me how little plot twists are thrown in that link back to the previous books. While I love flying through books, because this one was so short at times I could argue it was a bit too rushed. There was no taking any time to tell this one, it just came out. I also didn’t understand the length of some of the chapters, they made no sense. Some of them were a couple of pages and I didn’t see any reason for a chapter break, because it continued seamlessly on the next page. I didn’t get it.
Despite my tiny hang ups about this book, I still had fun and I still love this series a lot.
That little twist at the end though? Damn it. It really confused me because it seemed out of character but I’m intrigued to see where it’s going to go to be honest. I can’t believe I have to wait again for another book. MA Bennett you’re killing me.
