Rage. Sorrow. Revenge.

So… I think one can kind of tell that this is the author’s first book. The beginning was kinda choppy, and it felt like the author was trying to hard to make everyone incredibly witty. The first third of the book just soaked in banter, but not in an enjoyable way. 
The whole thing was also fairly predictable. Also the slow burn was so slow it was more like dying ember. 
But it was enjoyable. Especially the ending, holy hell the ending almost gave me whiplash.
