omg the ending?? it just. stopped 😭 help i need to get the next book but omg THAT WAS SO GOOD I LOVED IT it was so much better than i thought it would be omg. i love the concept it’s so cool, and i actually understood it lol. also im surprised i did and liked the book because it’s a lot of political intrigue but it was great :0 i liked the writing style too it was easy to read.

akos and cyra :’) <33 they’re so cute ugh the slowburn was done so nicely and like they kissed pretty early on but it didn’t even feel too early? but ugh the enemies to friends to lovers. and it’s like the ‘you’re my only friend’ trope (ok writing it like that sounds sad but it’s like they’re each other’s best friends). idk what’s gonna happen to ryzek in the next book but i’m assuming he can’t die at least not straight away bc their dad is alive??? don’t know what that means and idk what will happen w cyra because if she’s not a noavek then… idk. oh and i loved all the names omg like firstly the people names especially cyra i love that and ryzek even though he’s the bad guy but also the names of planets and just other vocabulary lol. OMG SHOUTOUT TO THAT ONE SCENE where akos says two words one in shotet and one in thuvhesit and the one in thuvhesit means beloved 😭😭😭 couldve cried right there tbh that was so cute
