“I love you. 
I fell in love with you in the depths of my soul, and it’s my soul that will find yours again in the next life.”

It’s so good to be back here again with Bryce, Hunt and the rest of the gang! 
I was super excited to read this one ever since I find out from the previous book it’ll also take place at Prythian!! 

The storyline is quite complicated, some parts felt slow a little bit cause there’s a lot of information thrown in there. I would advice re-reading the previous ones so you can understand it better. 
Nonetheless, it was very well written that the plot flows smoothly. The occasional humour and sarcastic comments from Bryce really liven up this dark and nerve-wrecking story. 

It was also really cool seeing Bryce, Hunt and the rest of the gang showed their full power and directed them straight for the villains! Those power hungry people deserved that! So satisfying!

I also love the part where Bryce gets to spend a short time in the Night Court. Such a a great collaboration of two world - especially seeing them fight together! 

Overall, I really enjoy reading through Bryce’s journey from the beginning until the very end. This would be a fantastic series to binged again later!

As always it’s not SJM if she doesn't leave a few clues behind for future books because things are far from over!
