This is the second romance by Yarros that I've picked up and I have to admit- I was not disappointed.  This book was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I knew that it was sad going in, but I was not prepared for the way that Yarros would choose to break our hearts.  I both do and don't understand why Chaos didn't reveal who he was to Ella- he felt responsible. But also I don't see how it would have  mattered.  While this is classified as a romance, and the romance is there and it's sweet, this is also a story about grief- grieving the death of possibilities, the death of those we love and how to live in the pockets of good that comes with a hard journey.  This was a very complicated situation brought to life and was both devastating and uplifting. I am looking forward to checking out more of Yarros' works, she is able to write relationships that are solid and inspirational.
