This was soo good I usually don’t like when books are written as a “story” told by characters but got over it lol. The nonlinear plot made me a little annoyed at first but I thought it flowed really well. I definitely enjoyed younger Gabriel more as I LOVE a school/academy setting and an underdog. Seeing how he was in the present day gave the story such a sense of foreboding and I was just so interested to see how he turned into this “legend.” Although I’m kinda annoyed the last part after rescuing Dior wasn’t in this book like I need the next book rn.
