OK, now we're getting somewhere!

(Although, could anyone else use less of Severin and Laila's tortured romance? No? Just me? Sheesh, I'm such a cynic.)

5.0

I love this series so much. The plot, the characters, just everything about it is so good. 
I will say that this one was made me a little annoyed at times, because some of the characters were being insanely annoying (cough Séverin and Hypnos cough); I understand why they were acting the way they did but I still wanted to throw the book a few times. 
Other than the annoying characters I really enjoyed this one, it was very twisty and fun when people weren’t dying/ having brushes with death 
I don’t currently have the next book but I need it right now because that was one heck of a cliffhanger

This book made my heart hurt. The ending is utterly gut wrenching. The writing in this book is incredible and the characters are extraordinary. Please read this book ❤️

On a technical level, this book is very good. However, I was not in a headspace to read it with the love it deserves, because of triggering topics contained within the book itself.

Also, I still don't really get why Tristan was murdering birds.

It's not so much the book's fault as it is my own fault. I had no idea going in that the book was going to be about... the things it was about, nor that I would be triggered.
