~made me smile (0,5/0,6) yes sadjs Rhys' sense of humor was the best with his little teases towards FeyFey and the shoe scene was rlly funny
~got me hooked in (1/1) yes, cz once shit went down with Feymlin it started to get better and more interesting
~bored me (0/-0,2) nop
~nice writing (0,5/0,5) it was better than the first one and it was easily understandable so there's that plus all the plot twists rlly made up for it. AND THAT ENDING omg I almost screamed
~made sense (0,6/0,6) it did, bcs we got to learn more abt the world of Prythian so ye
~favorited (0,5/0,7) yes. I was in love with every single character from the IC and the new thematics were rlly good tho it felt like it was missing something
~moved me (0,5/0,6) kind of ye cz we kind of got more to Rhys' past. I got so mad at Tamlin like omfg I lost it when he snapped at Lucien as if he hadn't always been the one at his Tomlin's side for a long time
~surprised me (0,4/0,5) YES who would've thought Tamlin was such a manipulative bastard, plus the whole thing with Lucien and Elain being mates like WTAF I can already see that she doesn't deserve him (no one does)
~characters' development (0,5/0,5) Feyre got even more development cz she managed to get out of a toxic relationship and everything. My opinions on Lucien in this book were sort of confusing. Tamlin, don't get me started on this mf. Rhys, I grew to like him even more. Out of the IC Mor and Az were my favs but Amren and Cass also were funny asf. Nesta's scene when shes going into the cauldron got me like GO BEST FRIEND like you could rlly feel her disgust and discomfort towards the King of Hybern. Elain seems kind of personalityless (I didnt just make up a new word).

Thank you Sera for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review
after having orchestrated the downfall of Leroy Parkes, the Torsion Gang (Astra tbh), is left to run the school but shit hits the fan when Astra needs to get her tech back from Leroy's cousin, Clay, so she sends her brother Xavier undercover.
Clandestine felt completely different from Torsion and the reason why is the fact that Sera's writing improved a lot. Where in Torsion there was more dialogue and less setting, in Clandestine there's equal parts dialogue and setting. Sera also did something that made me connect with the characters in Clandestine cs in Torsion I only REALLY vibed w/ Astra, Aiken and Zola but here the opposite happened tbh, I sort of started liking the other characters but Aiken and Astra felt weird and Aiken isn't MY character anymore :/. Xavi (Xavier), Cassie (Cassidy), Vee (Yvette), Isaac and Tessie (Tessa) are my babies now, like aaaaagh love them sm.
Aiken crossing it to the other side was smth I wasn't expecting tbh, like, I actually liked Alejo and Aiken going Jaime Lannister on him felt rlly off.
I stopped vibing with Astra the moment she said she'd kill Xavier if he failed like, girl you're saying you'd kill your brother if he failed to retrieve smth when it wasn't his fault it was stolen from you? nuh-uh, bad astra *sprays water*
I'm legit more interested in learning more abt Tess than I am abt Astra (still want to know abt her but not as much) like, finding out she was also an alien but not an Ara'cel had me like
