So Yarros is really going to shatter my heart and leave me to wait in agony for the next book? Guess she's got the brutal spirit of a rider too. 😤

Honestly, I didn't think I'd like this one as much as the first especially after reading some of the reviews. But this book is what made me really LOVE this series. It was a bit slow at first and look, Yarros is not yet a master of her craft -- yes, there are a few unnecessary scenes in her book. Yes, the dialogue has repetitive moments. Did I give it 5 stars anyway? Also yes, because it's perfect even if it's not.
