“Aaron and Ella” WHAT??

The ending was too much. What happened anyway?! 
First of all I love this book, I just got so overwhelmed with what’s going on. 
Aaron and Kenji‘s relationships development, they are getting close! Juliette? Or should I call her Ella? She’s the hottest for shaving her head to match with his beloved hehe. 

“Your Regent Warner speaks seven languages.”
“You speak seven languages?” Juliette says, touching my arm.
“Sometimes,” I say quietly.
HE SPEAKS SEVEN LANGUAGES YALL!! THATS SO HOT OF YOU, AARONN?!

Last but not least, Nazeera yall? I love her. 
“Men,” she says, “are always so baffled by women’s clothing. So many opinions about a body that does not belong to them. Cover up, don’t cover up”—she waves a hand—“no one can seem to decide.”
Kenji literally gives off bad impressions on her. Anyways THATS MA WOMANN!!
I ship Kenji and Nazeera and I am looking forward for their interactions!! 

I suppose to rate it 5 star but no for the ending and Lena.

The ending. Jaw dropping. Leaves me wanting to finish the whole series can’t wait to read the novella after this.
I can’t decide if I like her parents or not they like  Annihilated  her friends at the end they bring her home and act like nothing changed and they have the audacity to use her birth name and be like “ oh honey dinner is getting cold come down stairs and eat” whilst she’s in power restraining binds.

what. the. actual. fuck.
okay let’s star at the beginning, shall we?
so it started a bit slow, but i don’t know if it was just my little slump or the book it self. then it catch up, only to get slow again, but at mark 70% i was hooked and stayed until 3am to finish it.
warner jeez he went through a lot lot, he did some bad stuff and questionable choices, but we can’t forget that he’s 19 and the trauma he’s been through. i just wanted to give him a hug even though he would definitely flip me off if not just break my arm or something.
juliette, my love, everything to me, you’ve been through a lot and in this book damn. the transformation though yesssss girlboss.
their relationship in this book HURT ME. in the beginning there was a quote that gave me war flashbacks “i miss you // i’m right here”. now listen if you’re a marauders fan you know what im talking about. so yeah i didn’t enjoy that but then the breakup, reading aaron’s pov, her feelings, i just couldn’t, it was too painful.
kenji i love you. only you make me laugh at wink on paper at 2 in the morning. also i wish i could give you a huge hug, i just think you need it.
nazeera. LOVE. OF. MY. LIFE. please marry me. what 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 queen👏🏻 ngl i didn’t trust you at the beginning but now yeahhh i’m so excited to get to know more about youu 
AND COME ON the way that kenji was too stunned to speak around her I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT
the trans representation yass we love to see it
james is SO cute i can’t- that scene with warner >>>>> it was amazing
unpopular opinion but i don’t hate adam, i hate what he said and how he treated juliette but i don’t hate him, i dislike him tho
THE END?!?!?!? WTH?! i’m so glad i’m only reading this books when all of them are already out because i could not wait a year (probably more) for the next one.
i was speechless. THE POLAROID PHOTO?!?! OMFG.
so so so exited for defy me, i’m intrigued on how this is going to go from now on

oh i wish i hadn’t spoiled myself the ending because that would have been good. love how it focused less on the romance, absolutely hated warner and juliette and the plot in very ambiguous? don’t know if i like this or not
