reread thoughts:

This was even better the second time around.

I reread this to prepare myself for finally reading the second book, and I was surprised how much I still remembered, so much that a reread wasn't even necessary. I don't regret it, tho.

I just love these characters so much, not all equally but they are all fleshed out and layered as fuck. 
The betrayals still got to me, even though I knew they were coming.

Yes, this book has a few pacing issues but I still love it a lot, those last few chapters are a roller coaster ride.

This time around I'm gonna start the 2nd book quickly.

***

THIS BOOK.
THE WORLD BUILDING. THE WRITING. THE CHARACTERS.
THE BETRAYELS. THE TWISTS.

I'm loosing my mind over this book!!!
