Love Auren and Rip and loved to see her seizing her independence and strength. It felt a little convoluted at times and while I get the point of the Barden East plot point, I didn’t think it was necessary. While I’m sure Queen Malia will be back, I think she was made to be almost too evil? Maybe because we didn’t see her much in other books and this seemed like such a stark difference from how she was portrayed before? Overall, loved the character development and relationships and I’ll keep reading the rest of the series
