astravars's review against another edition
5.0
there were so many plot twists and every time i thought the villain couldn't get any worse he proved me wrong
that said the plot itself was so well written and believable as well?? like everything was perfectly logical and there were always parts i wasn't able to predict
and the CHARACTERS especially noam and dara! i cared so much, felt so scared for them, connected to them so so well; i just wanted them to be happy, especially after what they'd already been through in book one and maybe... maybe they do get that in the end
something else i really appreciated was how much was talked about trauma and mental health, including but not limited some heavy topics like domestic abuse, sexual assault, rape, grooming and addiction (i would highly suggest checking the trigger warnings before reading)
while i don't have any personal experience with any of those, there were still tiny fractions of their struggles i could relate to and, as i've mentioned before, it didn't matter much because i felt for them anyways
i might have a few tiny complaints, not enough to reduce this from its 5 star rating
secondly i wasn't the biggest fan of the ending, mostly because it happened so fast?? i was actually surprised when it was just... over;
it's partially personal preference here again because i don't like open endings and while this one wasn't entirely open it wasn't fully resolved either
BUT the epilogue definitely saved it <33
in conclusion: if you're in for a lot of pain and gay pining you should read these books, you might regret it at some points in the story but i promise it's worth it in the end
+ honourable mention: jewish main characters <33
