I really enjoyed this book! The characters were likeable but not perfect. They felt real to me. They have positives and negatives. One thing I noticed was that if someone accused a character of being selfish or rude, they would ponder about it later instead of just ignoring it and pretending as if they did nothing wrong.

Another thing I really appreciated was the fights between Aurora and Theron - it felt real and natural, with stumbling words or characters lashing out, instead of perfectly written responses.

One warning, this ends on a cliffhanger. I dont mind them....if the next book is available. But as this is an arc, I was like noooooo! Cue the waiting!

Something I didn't care for was a bit of inconsistent characterization of some of the characters. There's seems to be a bit of back and forth with confidence, naivety, conviction, etc. I do get that characters are complex, but this seemed a bit contradictory. It wasn't enough to ruin the book, but it did seem a bit odd to me.

Overall this was a really entertaining and enjoyable read for me and I can't wait for the next book!
