I loved this book! Loved the writing, the pacing, the characters, and the world building. And although i liked the ending and it made sense with where the book was going, it felt a little rushed and confusing. I was going to rate it 4 stars but there were so many loose ends left that it dropped the rating to 3.75. I still throughly enjoyed this book though!
