This book was SO GOOD! 

I think this might have been Meads best book in the series. It is harrowing and disturbing. You really get to feel Rose's pain in every page. 

I loved the introduction of Sydney, what a dynamic character!! 

Lissa's story was eh. 

SO a POC character is introduced and I do not love the fact that he is pretty much a mob leader. As the book progresses we learn new things about him that make him more endearing but the representation is really lacking.

Again, DIMITRI SHOULD BE IN JAIL (especially after this book).

The book is really good, except the pacing is a bit off and it kinda messed it up for me personally. The beginning is great, and then the middle starts to drag, before the ending speeds by (while taking a while to finish). Theres a lot of world expansion and new characters that work in some places (Abe, Belikovs, Oksana and Mark) and don't work in others (The Unpromised). Excited for reading fresh books and finishing it.
