I think my brain imploded.
The reasons that I'm not giving this book a starred review is because I simply can't.
I absolutely adored this series' first book, Sixteen Souls, and Rosie Talbot perfectly continued the storyline and character development. Stakes were raised, characters changed, and once everything slowly started clicking, it went faster and faster and the plot twists didn't stop.
Now onto the reason I'm can't star this book yet: the lack of a sequel. Until I know what happens next, I simply can't figure out how I feel. If the end of this book turns out to be the end of the series, then I'm left unfulfilled and confused. That comes with its on message and more than enough food for thought, but still, this didn't feel like an end. Not by the severity of the end, nor by the way it was written.
Regardless of anything, this book was incredible, and I keep my fingers crossed for a sequel announcement soon, because these characters are far from done. And then five full stars will be added to this review.
