At first i was really put off bc this is my first YA and i was not used to minors being.. having the ‘mentality’ of ‘adults’ however the more i read the more i realize it Is like that. These kids have gone through sooo much that they Had to ‘grow up’ not be in a childish mindset. 
I really fell for the characters and really made me want to protect these six weird but oddly charming characters…. 
I love that these kids are so Different from each other but they work together just So well…!!! Even if they have deep Deep rooted traumas - brainwashing and trust issues. 
Kaz was the first that i really enjoyed however it was hard for me to imagine a 17 year old like this as the 17-year-olds i know arent! but thats why it is Fanasy haha
Also the three relationships, honestly love them all… fit so well together!! 
When jasper was first introduced i knew something was Familiar with him and then they revieled that he an alphabet boy and just <333 i will protect him with my life. 
I also like how - not mention outloud - but how jasper has ADHD.. and suffers from severe addiction.. and wylem has deep learning disabilities <33 like same boys same.
Honestly was not expecting myself to enjoy this as much as I did, so thank god i pushed through until the end bc this is amazing - I was afraid there was Major Character Death and thankfully - well not really - there wasnt.
Cannot wait to see Kaz get his Revenge. and <33 others be happy - and not have an all out war… but that is too optimistic by the other books.
