I don't even know where to start... this book was phenomenal. I loved it from the very first page all the way to the last. šāØ
The story picks up right where book one ends, and honestly, I was hooked immediately. It's one of those books where you keep telling yourself "just one more chapter"... and suddenly it's 2 a.m. because you physically can't put it down.
I was a little unsure at first because the story takes a direction I wasn't expecting after book one. I kept wondering if I was going to like where it was headed, but the more I read, the more obsessed I became. Every chapter gave me another reason to keep going.
The love interest had me so conflicted š. Half the time I was completely obsessed with him, and the other half I was sitting there thinking... nope, something isn't right. He's not the one. I genuinely had no idea who to trust, and I loved that the book kept making me question everything.
The new characters were another highlight for me. They fit into the story so naturally, and I got attached to them so quickly. Which, of course, made some of the deaths hurt even more. There were moments where I genuinely had to stop and process what had just happened.
And can we PLEASE talk about that ending?! 𤯠I didn't see any of it coming. Everything happened so fast, one revelation after another, and by the time I thought I understood what was going on... BAM. Another twist.
That cliffhanger is actually criminal. š How am I supposed to wait for book three after THAT?!
If you're looking for a dystopian fantasy filled with action, constant twists, tension, and characters that will completely consume your thoughts, PLEASE read this series.
And hurry... because I desperately need people to scream about this ending with. šš
