The twist was predictable, I saw it coming from a mile away. The FMC is supposed to be this badass witch who frees a bunch of witches but it's talked about more than shown. What's shown is... not badass and mostly a lot of bumbling and messing up. Did I enjoy this book? Actually, yeah! I don't necessarily need my FMCs to be badass, I just need a multi-dimensional character, interest plot and world-building. And it was.

This is NOT YA. Stop trying to normalize sexual content in YA.

I was completely blown away by this book. Unfortunately I cannot go into how much without giving too much away. Wonderfully executed. If you want something that engages a troupe and makes it better you are in for a ride. Fair warning this society is doing, and has done, brutal things to each other. It’s at times shocking and devastating. Definitely dark and dangerous. That ending crushed me. I cannot wait for the next one.
