Omg WTF? This book is so mf good I cannot fathom it. I loved kai and pae’s dynamic and how it’s soooo slow burn. The teensy tiny love triangle was a little irritating, but it wasn’t that present. The idea of the book, and the complexity of the trials was just amazing. I can’t wait for book too, but…

what the actual hell was that ending, I’m literally reeling from what happened. From the beginning on I hated the idea of pae joining the resistance, yes it was what she was fighting for aswell, but so dumb and it was so obvious what was going to occur later on. Also HELLO? Kai killing her father? Such karma and justice that pae killed the king (as she should). I’m also mad that we don’t get to read how they find out why she did what she did, her reasoning. ALSO ADENA DYING BROKE MY HEART WTFFFFF.
