i guess my only note is that the audiobook narrator changed how they pronounced some things over the course of the series, sometimes flopping back and forth (i noticed it most with liraz, as the emphasis switched between syllables quite a bit).
okay but i just googled the characters names to see how to spell liraz and honestly i get it now. the spellings are wild compared to how they sound lmfao.
original review:
oh my gOD LAINI TAYLOR RIPPED MY HEART OUT SO MANY TIMES. i was on the edge of my seat for most of the book and i loved it i loved it i loved it. i can't even form a more coherent review right now

OKAY BUT COME ON HOW IS THIS SO GOOD
(I have minor squabbles re: the ending because I feel like it left a couple of things open ended and I mean it’s fine for them to be open ended because you basically know what’s happening but also I wanted more?? And yeah I know the book was already 600+ pages but I would have read 100 more and that’s the truth)
ALSO LIRAZ’S CHARACTER ARC IS UNPARALLED GENIUS
