Emerald City by Astrid Cole
5.0
Book 2 of this amazing trilogy!
I really thought that Diamond City set the pace and overall feel for Emerald City beautifully. But man, I *ALMOST* broke my Kindle with the amount of plot twists and jaw-dropping moments she stuffed into Emerald City. HOLY MOLY.... this was a crazy intense read.
If you thought Diamond was a crazy read, Emerald said "Hold my beer".
Astrid had my whole jaw on the floor with this book. Sage was going through it, plot twist after plot twists and it was very action-packed this time around. The way my mind was spinning from beginning to end AND then that ending was INSANE. I have to say, I didn't think it would live up to the hype of Diamond, but Emerald set off a bomb and felt like you were on a chaotic rollercoaster of emotions. Even with everything that was happening, I didn't feel like it was insanely chaotic to where I got lost. She wrote every twist to happen at the most perfect timing, adding so much depth to the storyline as it continues. Sage and Damian's chemistry was a 5/5 for me. It was truly perfect for them, nothing felt like it was forced, their connection and banter made for an enjoyable read. Sage's character development in Emerald was a 10/10. She really shows so much growth in herself and how she handles everything that is happening to her and around her. Now, I have to say this: THAT CLIFFHANGER WAS ILLEGALLLLLLL. I DID NOT SEE IT COMING AND WON'T RECOVER FROM THIS. HOLY CRAP.
Astrid knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat with that ending. Probably one of the BEST cliffhangers I've ever read (and I hate them with a passion). That speaks volumes to Astrid's writing style and ways of keeping her readers engaged and questioning their life decisions. Is it October yet? I NEED RUBY CITY LIKE I NEED AIR TO BREATHE.
