This was a roller coaster of emotions 🎢. We got more action in this book than the other one which I love 😍. But by the end I wasn't sure whether to cry 😢 or scream in anger 💢

When I tell you that I was so mad at Cardan for the stunt he pulled at the end of the book 😤😡.  I was like" Are you serious right now!". When will Holly Black stop making everyone around Jude untrustworthy. I really hope that Cardan has a good reason to exile Jude. I was starting to kinda forgive Taryn, but when she betrayed Jude again made me foreverhate her. Why did the Ghost 👻 have to be the traitor 😭😭. I loved him so much 💔

I wanted to throw the book across the room, but the I remembered it was a library book 😅. It was still my favorite book so far in the series even after all...that, because I loved the Jude and Cardan moments as well as all the angst 😊
