I am OBSESSED. This book has the perfect balance between the plot/politics of their world and the character arc’s/backstories. Throughout learning about these characters, with their troubling pasts and in turn reasoning for their actions, you start to root for them—even if what they do seems bad on the surface. The plot and how Snow uses the politics in her favor had me gripped from the start. And the romance?? OH LORD! The banter?? The pining?? The angst?? I was [in the best way possible] in AGONY! And don’t even get me started on the plot twist at the end…I was BAMBOOZLED!
