Holy hell. Literally.
What a fantastic sequel to TFK. The story was nonstop, tying things together from TFK snd laying the groundwork for book 3. I'm in awe of Hannah.
Our trio goes through it in this book, and I'm DESPERATE to know what happens next! The tension, danger, surprises, reveals 😩
I devoured the story and found myself gasping, tearing up, and just staring at the wall at the end.

UGH. I do not want to wait for the next book. I need it now. Bastian's entirely storyline is upsetting and I need that sweet baby to be ok. Lore is out her doing her best and you see where it got her. The ending sets up the final book perfectly. While there were plot points that I was able to predict, there were still plenty of revelations that took me by surprise.
