I've read FSIS about 5 times by now so I was sooooo excited for this book, and it did not disappoint!

The plot took a vacation for like 90% of the book but the best part of BK's books is the characters anyway, so it was still awsome.
I'm so happy to finally have read more Tycho, Jax, and Callyn, I already miss them

Tycho is too precious, too nice, and too generous for this world. For any world. Somebody needs to find him a therapist asap tho.
He deserves So. Much. More

I loved seing Jax and how he adaptated to Emberfall. His relationship with Tycho is so precious. I love them so much
I'll forever cherish those first 100 pages of them together
it was perfection, I need thousands of pages of this

We need more Noah!!!!
Since he'll be going to Emberfall in the next book
, I hope we'll get scenes of him and Jax (with or without Tycho). They're like, the only two people who realize how Tycho is "working himself into the ground" with his responsibilities, as Noah said.

Rhen! I need to re-read the Cursebreakers trilogy, I whish we'd had his pov in AHSFAB, his few scenes where amazing.
Harper was amazing as well 😌

Malin was a complete surprise but I loved his character, i hope we'll see more of him I the next book!


I liked Sephran until he started being like "Hum, Tycho left u blah blah blah blah" and now I kinda want to punch him


I also had a few chapter of *uh, maybe Alek isn't that bad*, but lol of course he is
