4.5
This getting darker, heavier and grimmer than the first book as all the characters undergo a very difficult time in their lives, both mentally and physically. They all deal with it in completely different ways as they try to grow from their last experiences, still true to their own characters and what they choose to do with those emotions.
This book also full of angst and heartwrenching lines, I found myself waiting for the next heartache, even for betrayal.
“Love does not always wear the face we wish. I wish my love had been more beautiful. I wish...I wish we had more time.”
‘Love did not always wear the face one wished it would. Sometimes it looked down monstrous.’
‘Remember what you mean to me, thought Séverin, as he ignored Laila’s pleading and walked away from her, the weapon of her destruction tucked under his arm. Remember that I am your Majnun.’
I had love-hate relationship with Séverin this time. I love Laila and I wish her to be happy.
I fell in love more with Zofia, she’s so underrated and deserves so much love. :( Enrique... I *still* love his character the most.
Enrique and Zofia character development was the best thing in this book, as you can see their beautiful growth. ‹𝟹
Hypnos, I'M SORRY BUT sometimes I really get annoyed with him.
The book ends on a massive cliffhanger and chaotic, and I DESPERATELY need to know what happens next BUT——I AM NOT YET READY...
