Wow, what a trip! Started out slow, but I loved how the narrative was crafted and everything was revealed bit by bit. There's still a TON of questions I have, but I'm hoping they're answered in the next two books. 

I love Harrow - she needs to be protected at all costs even though she is a badass! I have so many feelings (confused? yes; but good confused??) and I've been so torn up over comparing Harrow/Gideon to Orpheus/Eurydice because Harrow can't acknowledge her at all and Gideon thinks that means she doesn't like her.... but she literally CAN'T without killing her soul1! sdflskjdflsjfdls 
I thought my heart would be healed, but it is sadly still in disarray. 

What I was NOT expecting: BONE SOUP, liking Ortus by the end, or liking Ianthe, let alone thinking she's sexy... And God's dad jokes. So many dad jokes.
