For a large part of the book, this was going to be a five star read given all the detail and complexities of the backstories of the characters. However, Aefe got a little frustrating when she kept reverting back to her old way of thinking until her  last couple of chapters. 

I loved the ending for all of them. I think it’s always hard to show how would a nation thrive after the government it has had forever is toppled. But since becoming the leaders isn’t the focus of the series then you known it won’t be the main characters given that they haven’t shown any WANT to lead their nations. 

At some point I thought “can these characters just stop suffering?😭” 

Part Two moved a slower (sorta) than part one. 

Tisaanah and Max will stay with me forever though. I loved them very much especially Max.
