A bit of a mix bag with this one.
The worldbuilding and government set up was so intriguing to me especially the capitalism parts. I was a little bit bored for the first half as I felt like not an awful lot happened, but after that I was hooked.
This really is a perfect dystopian book with the balance of suspense and romance.
I was routing for Inesa throughout she has so much love and kindness in a world where people will do anything to survive and Mel is the complete opposite with shoot first ask later mentality.
It has some dark times with the mutant creatures & humans and the twisted backstories of the angels.
That ending really was something and I was a fool to think it would be different when I still had 30 pages left. It was a disappointing ending and I feel like there may be a sequel but also not, there was some closure with something lacking.

I fear this series will be my ending, it has me in a chokehold that I cannot escape.
Cyrus is my favourite he’s a tortured golden retriever who puts on the evil facade and I love how Alizeh sees right through it.
This is such a slow burn but the tension and yearning has me on my toes and I cannot wait to see if it finally happens in the next book.
I hate Kamran with a passion now (yes I know I loved him in book 1)
Whilst the beginning and ending had lots going on the middle didn’t but the writing and pace didn’t make me bored and had me eating up every chapter.
I love how the timeline of the 3 books is so short so it feels like it’s more connected rather than having big gaps where we don’t know what’s happening.
I now have to wait patiently for the next 2 books and I will be a feral beast when I read them.
