This is so out of character for me (giving out 5 stars) and I really did not expect myself to like this book as much as I did. I really liked Cruel Prince, but this installment in the series really invoked something inside me. like that sounds really dramatic, but this book really just gaslit me and ripped my heart out in so many ways… IN A GOOD WAY!!
The story itself was beautifully written and so carefully crafted. And the character development!! Ughhhh just read it and see for yourself 😭😭
