Moderate: Toxic relationship, Toxic friendship, Murder, Kidnapping, Grief, Alcohol, Violence, and War
Minor: Slavery
While the book comes with sole content warnings, I would say truly aside from the death of a parent at the beginning, it’s truly not that violent or graphic. I add these warnings because I know trigger levels can vary and I hate going into things with no warning at all. No matter how small the mention might be.shelvesofivy's review against another edition

Spoiler
I thought that Jude and Carden was such an interesting dynamic and had I not known that they were getting together from a spoiler, I would have never guessed it. I think the story line between Locke and the twins was so twisted. He is the villain in plain sight. Black was so talented to make me love him and then get the rug pulled out from underneath me. Taryn made me so sad and mad. How could she not care more? IGraphic: Bullying, Death of parent, Kidnapping, Murder, Physical abuse, Toxic friendship, Violence, Death, and Toxic relationship

OMG how do I even start this review. I just finished reading...not even 10 minutes ago and my brain is still processing everything that happened.
This was a recommendation [and book gift] from Roni...I got fomo seeing all her updates when she was reading the series and decided I needed to read it too...and she was awesome enough to gift the trilogy to me 🥰
I've heard a lot of people talk about the trilogy but not really giving any real spoilers away...like literally all I knew before reading was that there was a Jude and a Carden...someone murdered her parents and she was raised in fairy...and that there was an entire page of just her name over and over. Which really...those 3 facts don't make for much info 🤣 Ngl I think I loved that though...I really had no idea what I was getting into.
From the start I sympathized and loved Jude. I had weird feelings of distrust towards certain characters...which ended up being well founded!
Maybe I can formulate my thoughts better soon...but until then I'm going to go marinate my thoughts and probably start book 2 😝
