I loved this book. It's hard to say, but I think this book was even  better than the first book (All of Us Villians). The world and characters were well thought out and it showed how family can influence our thinking. No one was truely good or evil, which humanizes them a lot . The romance was on point and well integrated into the story. The ending destroyed me
Briony's death, Hendry's death, Alistairˋs and Gavin's battle , but of course finally they kissed(so cute <3)
.
I would say the ending isn't a typical real happy ending, but it fits the book and the story that is told. The trails and their connections to the families were really interesting. I liked how magick and fairy tales were incorporated into the story. All in all, this book was one of the best I've read. 
 
The only thing I would have wished for was that perhaps more important people would have died, since it's supposed to be a tournament about life and death. I think for that just a few died, but at the same time maybe that was for the better  (Idk if I could handle that).
I also kinda hoped maybe the crown would still fall, and someone would be tempted to be cruel and to win the tournament for themselves
