I really loved this one. This one circles around the Reckoning, and these trials are something that we learned about all the way back in book 1. The twins have been training to take these tests to figure out if they can continue with the training or get kicked out of school. It was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of WTH moments. Plus, in this one, we start to see how strong the twins are. I was obsessed!

4.5

Absolutely the best book of the series so far. Dark, suspenseful, slow-burn, twisted romance - and that’s not including the plot. I was on the edge of my seat the entire book, racing through the pages, waiting for the next twist, the next episode of drama, the angst and torment behind the masks and politicking. I do wish we got more of the lore and world-building of Solaria, but I have a feeling that will be revealed the more Tory and Darcy learn about this world they are now officially a part of. A dark, dangerous, highly addictive series. TW: manipulation, abuse, bully romance, sexual content, coarse language.
