"It wasn't a promise, but it was hope. And for now that was enough."

Great troubles plague the Vega Twins as they face separate lives under the cruelty of their enemies. But where fate toys with it's strings, new alliances and old emerge, bringing together the star's plans for the fated throne of Solaria.

I think one of my notes sums up my feelings about this book really well, "I would like to CATCH A BREAK PLEASE." This book hits the ground running and genuinely doesn't stop until the very last sentence. It's easily the most wild of the entire series so far, and twisted up my emotions like nothing else. I found myself upset more than once at the sheer amount of pain, but still really, really enjoying the sheer amount of insanity that was going on. Once you're on the ride, you kind of just want to throw your hands up and go with the adrenaline rush.

Since I refuse to talk about spoilers in my reviews, just know that when the thing happened at the end with the place and the man and the thing in the place and then they got back to the room and then I was ready to SCREAM and then I DID SCREAM and then THAT HAPPENED and I KNEW IT and anyways Eugene for president??? K.

I need to charge my iPad and start book seven.

4.25

this is probably my fav in the series so far 
BUT OH MY
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 
so the star crossed thing is gone… but darius only has one more year to live which kills me cause he is my fav 
i’m really hoping that there is a way around that and i won’t have to read about his death because i might actaully cry about that 
but i felt just how much darius cares about tory throughout this whole book especially when tory was recovering from all the things lionel did to her 
this series was not written very well but i’m in love, the characters feel like my best friends and the plot is so interesting

did feel very slow paced at first, and took me a while to fully get into it, as i just didn’t really like reading about the circumstances in which the last book left us, but really started to love it more when the plot picked up
