Stopppp I loved these books!! The emotional storytelling 10/10! I definitely wish we saw more of Elspeth’s actual character and went more into detail on the groups hiding out in the woods. 

But overall, I absolutely loved how compelling the writing was. I never wanted to put the book down because I just wanted to know what else was going to happen.

Definitely will be picking up Gillig’s next book!

For sure SNL fan fiction. Nothing wrong with the storyline, just not the most engaging for me. Writing style wasn’t my favorite.
