Sabaa Tahir can seriously do no wrong with this series! It is a masterpiece! 🤩

I absolutely love this whole series, she even managed to make me feel something other than pure hatred for Marcus 👀 (IYKYK) which shows her mastery in building up character arcs and how multi-layered her characters are!!!

🚨 Every small details in these books are important, ie. in this volume, Helen's chapters are now referred to as "Blood Shrik." If it doesn't show you the level of attention to detail that Tahir has, I don't know what will. 

I can't wait to see how this story will end and what will happen to every single one of the characters. Obviously, I'm super invested in Laia, the Blood Shrike, and the Soul Catcher's future, but I have become obsessed with every character in this story and just want to know how they will all fare in the completion of this masterpiece! ❤️
