Honestly what a wild ending. Parts of this were bananas - fast paced, thrilling, hilarious, adventurous. And parts were a tad confusing. This would’ve done well as a trilogy (I’m sad we don’t get one!) but it left me wanting SO MUCH MORE. Plus a certain someone didn’t get the comeuppance I wanted! A great follow up and end to a wild, violent, explosive duology. 

the one thing I didn’t love was Caiman and Greyson’s romantic love. It felt thrown in there for the sake of having queer characters. It felt random. Not fleshed out. I will prob email the publisher asking them to incorporate more hints because otherwise it feels a little queer baity


Oh and it gets sexy y’all.
