I became incredibly attached to all the POV characters (but not really many of the side characters tbh) , and am excited to see their growth in the next book, as well as (hopefully) seeing their stories overlap.
Though the pacing remained a bit too slow for my liking, it really picked up in the final quarter or so and I was completely hooked from that point until the end - and even would've careened straight into the next book had it not been very, VERY late lol.
Now that I'm more familiar with the style and world of this trilogy, I hope the next two books will be a bit easier to dive into :)

4.5 stars! Might round up later! We’ll see!
I have a lot of thoughts about this book! Having read it during senior year, it did take absolutely ages! That said, I really enjoyed it!
Pros (spoiler free)
- Loved the writing! Every setting was incredibly vivid and immersive! And the Worldbuilding was lots of fun!
