It’s been a while since I’ve cried when a book ended just because it hurt that it was over, but this book and book 1 were just so good and I cared about the characters and the story so much that there won’t be any more (primary) Oraya and Raihn. The growth in terms of plot and their relationship and everything that they both had to work through was so well done. I was worried that things I wanted closure on would be left out because there was so much story to tell, but I didn’t feel like I was left hanging with anything. Absolutely stoked for book 3!!!
