I love a good deadly trials book. The plot twists were somewhat obvious, but the book was still very entertaining. I didn’t want to set it down.

One of my favorite quotes I’ve read:
“I’d never thought about what my favorite color was before. It never seemed important. Not until I looked into a pair of ocean-blue eyes and realized that perhaps drowning was a beautiful thing. Not until I looked into a pair of fiery blue eyes and realized that perhaps burning was a painless thing. Not until I looked into a pair of sky-blue eyes and realized that perhaps falling was a peaceful thing. I’d never thought about what my favorite color was before because I hadn’t seen one that was worthy of the title. Until now, that is.”

3.5
2 POV, 1st POV
🗡1st of all reading the book was a pain because the font is TINY.
🗡There was nothing original at all, it's a copy of The Final Strife and Throne of Glass with some (good) banter.
🗡 It made me smile and kick my feet and I liked the fight scenes and maybe I'd enjoy it more if I haven't read TFS and ToG.
🗡 I expected cute romance and all I got was some flirting. 🥲
🗡 It was okay but I won't read it again or continue the series either.
OW jealousy?
OM jealousy?
Happy ending?
Cliff-hanger?
TWs: death of a loved one, abusive parent (past), murder on page, betrayal
These two might be a lil spoilery:
🗡The fact that 3rd act was moved to the end pissed me off even more.
🗡The slow burn was so slow that there wasn't any burn at all.
