I honestly loved this book way more than I expected... And I don't get why Diem was so hated by many people. Like be real. Her character felt complex, and I actually liked how messy and confused she was at times. She’s literally trying to figure out her own identity while being manipulated and used by the Guardians?? Her actions made total sense to me. but Henri? Yeah, I cannot stand him. Every time he showed up I was like please leave.
Luther and Diem's dynamic did have me hooked right from their first encounter. The tension, the slowburn, the trust slowly building...ugh I need more of them in the next book ASAP. Also, Lilian and Teller were so cute and lowkey gave the story some lightness that balanced everything out. (but I do sense there will be some kind of sad drama plot going on between their family and the Mortals vs Descended conflict T^T later on).
The writing was super easy to follow, which I loved, and the worldbuilding didn’t feel overly complicated or overwhelming. And while the political conflict was more of a side plot here, I can tell it's going to get a lot more intense in book two, and I’m so ready for it.
