Spoiler
Alistair and Thomas are great, but the back and forth and drama from their history together makes it hard to see a happy ending for them. As much as I liked Lucie and Jesse’s storyline in Chain of Gold, it definitely dropped off in this book, and I’m honestly way more interested in seeing her develop her powers than her relationship at this point.Spoiler
This very much depends on which characters you like, but I wouldn’t call it happy. Definitely a bit of a cliffhanger, and now I have to wait another year or so for the next book. Ugh.Moderate: Addiction, Alcohol, Alcoholism, Blood, Death, Death of parent, Gaslighting, Murder, and Violence
Minor: Bullying, Forced institutionalization, and Gun violence
