I absolutely love how Suri structures this book, it never gets boring at any point because of all the perspectives we get on the very many things that happen in this book. My favorite of those being the very minor character that only get one or two chapters in this (as of now) duology, because they round out the world in such a wonderful manner. 
And the tension oh my love. She writes love in a way that I find so deeply real, messy and torturous but so unmistakably beautiful at is it's core. 
I love the world I am getting to know and I love that every time I think I fully grasped how this universe functions and I know what to expect, it switches on me and gives me just enough new information to put me back at the edge of my seat. 

I am thoroughly invested and absolutely cannot wait for the last book to come out!
