Ahhhhhhh- what a relief. I’ve been wanting to read this series for years, and it did not disappoint.

The first thing to impress me was the worldbuilding. It takes a bit to get used to as it’s unique mix of elements can be hard to wrap your head around at first, once I gelled with it everything made a lot of sense. This story feels very well thought through and I can already see the framework of how intense it’s going to be in the other two books but not being able to predict everything that’ll happen.

The characters were spectacular as well. These are my type of characters I love, flawed, annoying, absolutely lovely and just full of life. At first I wasn’t sure if I would like them all but Jen truly bamboozled me and I fell for all of them. And now I’m invested in them 🥹 
The romances were also well done for the varying amount of time each gets. 

I think there is only more to get excited about for The Bitter Twins and I can’t wait to start it. Except now, I sleep.
