Okay. Nox now has a very special place in my heart. As the daughter of a CSA survivor, my heart broke when his story was shared with Oli, and everything about his character makes sense and its well developed. I feel as though it would have benefitted if only Oli & the Dravens had the “extra” abilities, but I also think the series could have been condensed into 3-4 books.

god these books are so freaking good!! im sad this one was so much shorter than the last two but i hope the next one never ends. i can already feel myself sinking into a slump while i wait for the last one.

Spoiler

councilman north draven is my absolute favorite with nox mother freaking draven as a supppppper close runner up. i still love gryphon soo much and gabe is amazing too. idk why i dont like atlas as much hes just a little too docile for my liking. the ending also wasnt as bad as any of the other books so far. i dont like that we killed the only big bad that we actually know about, i wish we knew more already. we only have one book left and i feel like thats not nearly enough. im nervous its going to feel super rushed
