BROOOOOO THIS BOOK.
let me tell you... it was SO good, totally worth the hype.
first of all.... the sexual tension between Jude and Cardan could be cut with a knife (or sword if you will). I LOVE THEMMM. 🥺❤️
and I absolutely hated Cardan in the first 20% of the book but then I was down on my knees fr. what gave him the right to be so mf hot? like hello??? 🥵
and Jude is such a badass queen fr. she's one of those characters that makes so many wrong decisions but you still love her yk? and honestly I think it takes really good writing to pull that off and Ms. Holly Black did that. 😌
Taryn was cool until the last part of the book.... girl- 🤨
And Vivi was a sweetheart throughout the whole book, literally so wholesome. I love her. 🥺
and so many of the other characters were terrible people but the way they were written really made the story more interesting. I love the writing in this book.
and the ending made me low-key sad 🥲 but even more excited to read the second book. I NEED MORE FROM JUDE AND CARDAN. can't wait to read the second book ❤️
