I really, really enjoyed this. Deonn’s biggest strength, in my opinion, is the way she tackles the issues of grief and history that are so central to the story. These aspects were by far my favourite part of the book - but that’s not surprising. The romance was cute and, surprisingly, I don’t mind the aspect of a love triangle being set up (though I am praying this somehow ends up vaguely poly), but definitely very YA. Which makes sense and I have no criticism about, because that’s who the book is for! The way Deonn managed to keep that YA feel (falling in love in 2 weeks huh) while tackling some huge topics is an incredible feat and I’m really looking forward to reading the next book(s) in the series.
