“And it’s not insane to imagine that sometimes even horrible people are searching for a way out of their own darkness.”
this one gets wild. finding out just how fucked up the parents of the reestablishment really are and how deep this all runs is a mindfuck. this is definitely the darkest book of series yet, largely in part to revelations involving
we get more nazeera, who i LOVE. and so does kenji 🤭
“And I don’t think you’re stupid,” she says.
Wrong. I’m definitely stupid. So stupid. I can’t even think right now.
“Okay,” I say stupidly.
i continue to champion juliette and kenji's best friendship and the budding bromance of aaron and kenji.
Kenji looks like he might be choking. “A cartoon?” he says, outraged. “Tangled is not a cartoon. Tangled is one of the greatest movies of all time. It’s about fighting for freedom and true love.”
juliette and aaron >>>>>>>> (obvi) these two have been through so much shit my god i can't wait for their happy ending, bc they certainly deserve it after all of this.
This is, after all, what we’re fighting for, isn’t it? A second chance at joy.

the first half of this one alternated between juliette and warner’s capture and torture, and I felt like I was reading a YA version of aelin’s torture from KINGDOM OF ASH 🥴🥴 it was trauma after trauma and these poor kids are taking it way better than I, an adult, would
what I loved about this one was the revelation of everyone getting their memories back 🥹🥹 and of course, the backstories of juliette and aaron warner made me SOB I love the “you were made for me” trope and this was done so perfectly
although trauma is sometimes ✨ important ✨ for the plot line, this one just felt a bit overkill. the plot twists were at the end of every chapter and I felt like screaming enough!!! some of the revelations made sense while others were clearly added for the shock factor (which worked btw 🤪)
I’m a sucker for aaron and juliette’s relationship so I really did enjoy this one, even though it felt a lot like a filler book with no direction …
