I’m glad Lila got her own storyline in this book, but she can be a really terrible person.

It’s hard to fault her because of her life up until this point, but she is constantly dragging others down with her.  She’s selfish and impulsive and I hope to see growth in the final book.

I absolutely adore Alucard Emery, and he makes a great match with Rhy.  No wonder Kell hates him so much.

I loved the action of the Essan Tasche and getting to meet all the other magicians.  The best part of these books are the fight scenes.  V.E. Schwab does these scenes so well, you can vividly pictures them in your mind.
