i.......how did i not realize the rest of this series wasn't out yet? the fifth book doesn't even have a title let alone a release date. i am going to throw myself into a ditch.
great fantasy series though, you can really feel the author's writing style maturing as the series continues.

WOW....I almost don't even know where to begin. I loved being in Paris and watching Paige as she worked with the Domino Programme as well as the Parisian syndicate. I loved seeing her work through her traumas and hurts and become a stronger person for it. I loved the development (finally) of Arcturus and how important a role he played.
I loved the "heist" and Versailles and so so much more of this book.
But the last 80 or so pages have left me extremely rattled. Betrayal, SEVERAL twists that I wasn't expecting and definitely didn't see coming. Confusion on who actually did what in the last handful of pages. Relief for less than a split second before more concern and heart-break.
Samantha Shannon went all out on this and I cannot believe I have to wait for the next book. The only reason this book isn't 5/5 is I feel like the breadcrumbs that I knew were there but couldn't figure out were too ambiguous. I wish they had been a little more solid so that I could have at least kept up with them instead of them flying over my head and me just shrugging and being like "oh well, I know that's important but because I don't get it, I really don't care."
Definitely, 4.5/5 though and I want the next book NOW PLEASE.
