I had an excellent time with this book, but I will not be reading more of the series after a teaser revealed that what I want most will not happen. It got SO good once
Gideon and Harrow’s relationship took center stage and was really explored, but apparently that takes a back seat to wider world building plots,
which is also SO good - just not what my souls needs. 

The story was faster-paced, kept me guessing and had complicated characters that I both loved and loved to hate. It was fun - and a punch to the gut. I’ll be thinking about it for awhile.
