I have no words. I'm still trying to process the ending to this book, the CLIFFHANGER we were left with until next year.
Kinda saw one of the main plot twists coming about halfway through the book, but it's played out so well! It still left me shocked.
Wren and Oak are polar opposites in personalities and the way they grew up, but it was so easy to root and hope for them individually.
Unfortunately, we didn't get any Cardan or Jude appearances, but it was interesting to read about Oak as a young adult, and to learn about the little girl he was almost forced to marry when they were both kids.
Definitely recommend it!
