4.5

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Rielle is one of the most complex heroines in the New Adult Fantasy genre and no one can convince me otherwise. Thank you, Claire Legrand, for writing a woman who has depth, makes morally flawed decisions and is not guided solely by her relationships with men. While I absolutely don't agree with or support many of Rielle's decisions, it means so much to see a woman truly put herself first.

⁕ Without giving anything away, this is a series you want to read if you're looking for something to make you FEEL. I'm talking Song of Achilles/Clockwork Princess levels of emotion in the last several chapters. 

⁕ SPOILER: A huge plot point of this book is that Eliana will change her present by going back and altering her past (which she does achieve by the end of the novel). We find out what happens to her but none of the other important secondary characters from her future timeline! Characters I became attached to! And there wasn't even a meaningful goodbye! Ugh!
