*SCREAMING AS I FINISH*
THAT'S NOT NICE.
Not that I have gotten that out of the way.
Solid 4 probably closer to a 4.5. My only complaint is that the beginning was a little slow which could have been a me problem & not a book problem. The book did an excellent job of having all the characters and their perspectives constantly circling each other. The effect is twofold. One, giving the reader enough information so they are the most informed person at all times and giving tension as to when everyone else in the world will know things. Second, I was wonderfully TORTURED waiting for Kell and Lila to interact. I ship it. Also liked that we got more interactions with the Kell's adopted family. (Even if the parents are butts now).

I love all the brotherly moments between Kell and Rhy, even the sad ones. They warmed my heart.
Sadly, I'm not feeling the ship. Half of the book expecting them to be reunited and all I felt was that they should remain friends, great friends. I wish the games were given more pages.
