Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

each of the hollow boys book can be read as a standalone but i feel like it should be read in order because the plot is what i live for in this series. i loved the first book but the second book was sooo much better! the lies we steal was a slow burn, but the truths we burn picked up the pace. straight into action; monty gave us a background of rook & sage before picking up off where the lies we steal ended. i honestly wished we got to see the twins & their happily ever after with the hollow boys together but without the murder of rosemary - there would be no plot 🥲 rook & sage’s story left me in a wreck & i cannot imagine what sila’s story will do to me. i absolutely adore these unhinged & ruthless hollow boys. their loyalty is unmatched & when they love, they love hard. i hated sage in the beginning, but her character development made me love her so much at the end. her background story to her unmasking to be her true self *chef’s kiss.* i cannot wait to dive into thatcher & my favorite supporting character: lyra’s story!!
