I was expecting to feel meh about the book, but to my greatest surprised, I enjoyed almost every second of reading it. Not the finale, though, this caused too much emotional damage.
It was definitely darker than I expected, with a little too much gore for my liking. But I loved the atmosphere, the writing, the fast-paced plot which never got boring, the characters and their beautiful bonding moments. It even had almost all of my favorite tropes.
I really, really hate the ending. I hate it so much. Can't wait to continue. Please, I need the sequel now.
