The beginning is super slow and then the ending feels way too fast. Adam in particular has great character development. The plot of this one isn't super great but the character interactions are wonderful.

I loved this book. It is well written, and has a great main cast of characters, with a truly hate-able villain. It ends in a satisfying fight and I like that this book focused less on Blue and more on Ronan.

I LOVE the characters and Maggie's writing is beautiful in my opinion. The setting of this book is so magical and yet realistic. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because Blue, the main character, falls a bit flat to me, and I'm not super into the "true love" shit.

I loved the parts of this book focused on Harrow and her brain, and really appreciated the other new main characters. However I found that this book had plot holes that you really have to think hard to find the "right" reason for. Definitely a book with a mystery that you cannot solve yourself until you finish the book- trust me, I made a clue board and everything.

The first half of the book feels really slow but then it picks up. Not a 5 star read because I found there was a twist too late in the book for me to appreciate.
