Between Life and Death by Jaclyn Kot

5.0

Okay, I absolutely loved this story. I found myself getting so wrapped up in it that I forgot to highlight my favorite lines.

Between Life & Death was a very unique story. Very different from most fantasy stories out right now. Idk if it was just me but I got a lot of ACOTAR, some FBAA, and Avatar the Last Airbender vibes (but that in particular came from the elemental magic aspect of the story).

I like that the magic aspect of the story was more elemental and not just raw and untethered magic blasting out of everyone’s fingertips.

I absolutely loved Sage. She is real and raw. She is fierce and can handle her own, she loves hard, and fights for people that cannot fight for themselves.

Von though, woof. I mean, if Rhysand and Cassian had a love child then we would receive Daddy Von, and I am totally here for it. He was sexy and sensual and a complete mystery the whole entire book.

My biggest issue was wondering why the strongest and highest ranked rebel warriors would drop everything to help Sage find her brother. But after learning everything we learn about Von and Sage it made more sense.

And the cliffhanger. Ugh. My life is ruined.
