Together with Pet I have some questions! Considering

Spoiler

at the end of this book they decide not to tell anyone about angels and in Pet they seem to know that the angels were here and part of the revolution

Spoiler

I’m left a bit confused. I still really enjoyed this book a lot and will continue to read anything that comes out as part of this series. It’s so relevant to today yet just a bit fantastical. I love.

Such a good book. Students make “angels” that come and fight for them. But at what cost.
