Omg this book was so tragic (and amazing). The loss in this book is almost as bad as the poppy wars trilogy. Like wtf. Someone who wants to stay sane will not pick up this book. I don’t even know why I’m continuing to read this series, it’s so heartbreaking. I’m literally crying. 


Literally the ending took me out, specifically Fitchners dead head. Like yes I disliked him until I found out he was ares and I loved him sm. And roque being a traitor was obvious but I was denying it will happen until it did! ROQUE! How could you? Also the jackal makes my blood boil. Although I hated the archgovernor and wanted him dead, I wanted Darrow to kill him. Lorn also hurt so bad. Everything hurt in this book. I still miss Pax. If Sevro (?) ever dies I will die. And Victra (was that her name? I’m bad with names) she was such an angel she was one of my favs :(
