I’m usually not a fan of the slow-start books and not gonna lie it took a bit of effort to get through the first 50 pages and whatnot but I’m really glad I did! The commander recruit relationship is great, and I thought that Jude had such great depth to him. I did think the side characters should have been included in the story more, characters like Alec and Nic were just kinda there for me. But I always love when the author makes up a whole religion (like Caraval) and she did a great job building the world and the story around this central religion. The end was a real twist and a setup for a great duology or trilogy. I fell like this series should only go on for one or two more books, if it goes on for too long I think it will become like Maximum Ride or even Shatter Me towards the end. I really thought this was a great book though, an easy read too it’s you’re looking for a kind of in-between-series book.
