“Heart Recaptured” just broke my heart and built me up again. I honestly didn’t think it could get much darker than the previous book, but man this one went to some horrifically dark places. Lilah and Ky both were a bit gratting to me, but I appreciated how fully fleshed out their characters were. And their relationship in the face of Lilah’s immense trauma (and brainwashing) was so inspiring. 

I know I’m building up to the most controversial book, but so far this series has really captured my heart. The themes are tragic and heart-wrenching, but the character development and relationships make it all worth it.
