I finished this at 00:30. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep.
First of all, Emil got himself into some love triangle and I hate it. Team Ness tho. And why so many people are so awful to him in so many ways? :( The boy seriously deserves some cuddles with phoenixes.
Second. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS OPEN ENDING, THIS WAS HORRIBLE
Third. About that same ending... I hope Brighton is eaten by phoenixes, vomited, run over by a car and then die in a trash can like the piece of shit we always knew he is.
Forth. I have to take a break for a few daysyears, thank you for understanding *goes to the other room, sobbing*
Conclusion: I will not sleep until the third book of this fucking trilogy and Adam doesn't give me back my heart. I'd also like a happy ending for Emil as a compensation but I'm not too hopeful about this. I also have some hopes for Mirabelle and Tala but... *sigh*

I love Adam Silvera. I have read everything he put out and I plan to keep doing it. His books are amazing and the characters are always great.
That said, I can see a bit of the stumble that Silvera goes through with the fighting scenes and even a bit of the fantasy related foreshadowing that was a bit too on the nose for my tasting.
Even so, you can see him getting past both of these and rocking the second half in an incredible way. I couldn't stop reading once I hit the 50% mark and even though I could tell that something was going to happen, I had no idea how it would, and it was a joy to read it.
