I get the hype for this book. I truly do. 

Here’s the thing, this book isn’t a ton of action. It’s a lot of focus on character development with Kiva and getting to know the world she has been occupying. And it’s brutal, dark, and I truly don’t know how anyone would survive it. I don’t know if I’m more sensitive these days or what, but there were times I had to put the book down because just thinking of all Kiva and all the other prisoners had seen was too much for me. 

I truly enjoyed the pacing, the character development, the world building at its slow and steady pace. I really got into it. 

There were some things I saw coming, but even kind of knowing I was still surprised at it all as it unfolded. 

Oh also that ending had me 😳🤯
