I can't even lie, when I first tried to read this book about a year ago, I had to DNF. Now that I have actually read it, I absolutely hate myself for not reading it sooner. I was so enamored by this book that I have pages and pages of notes. I drew out family trees. I felt like a detective reading this book. 

The amount of emotions I went through with this book is ridiculous, the twists and turns and surprises, I had no idea what was going to happen next. I'm now super nervous for the 3rd book... 

Like my heart is hammering writing this right now because 
Bryce ended up in Prythian!!!!

There’s childhood trauma mentions throughout the book such as child abuse. There’s also mentions of abuse between the hind too just be wary and this is quite a spicy book too x

These books have heavy mystery/detective storylines. If you enjoy that and fantasy/romance this is the perfect serie for you. 

I was personally a bit dissapointed that this leaned so much toward mystery/detective because I didn't expect it to be like this and I think it should have been made clear in the description. I do enjoy mystery/thriller type of books, but I personlly find all the detective work in this book a bit boring.  It's dragging on and on with about 700! pages of detective work. I am more interested in the action scenes and the magic. I find these very entertaining! 

And maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't really care (that deeply) about the romance in these books. I am way more interested in the friendships!

The book would have been better if it was shorter in my opinion, but o verall it was an entertaining read and I definitely want to pick up the next book! Especially because of that ending!
