the beginning was a bit of a slow start and i almost dnf’d, but around the 60% mark it picked up and was soooo hard to put down. you know that one really big twist at the end of Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard? the one that makes you gasp out loud because it feels like you, as a reader, just got betrayed? the last quarter of this book was like that, over and over. every time i thought i could trust someone or knew what was happening — bam, another twist. and, i guessed correctly, it ended on a cliffhanger and i absolutely need to read the rest of the series to see what happens next.
also i am obsessed with both main characters — niko was true to himself, badass, no-nonsense; visili was the perfect anti-hero cracking out of his shell. i love that their enemies to lovers arc was slow burn, blurring the lines between hatred and obviously falling for each other but not being able to realize it. i’m excited to see where the story takes them.

If you’ve ever seen Game of Thrones, think of every triggering thing that could be in there and it’s in here. It’s very dark so go into it expecting that. Plot and characters make it worth it.sixav's review
