i really loved this book, the twists just get so good. From Sevro being alive and Cassius turning in them as part of the plan to work with Cassius to kill Aja and Octavia…. And the Jackal getting his ending, though I felt it could have been more gruesome. I really expected Victra to die after the wedding, I feel weddings usually have something awful happen after. I didn’t expect Mustang to have a son though, that was a fun twist at the end.
