I think SJM loves writing stories about overcoming trauma, and I think she does a really good job of it! She thrives writing angst, and I was definitely on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next during much of this book. I’m most curious to see where Elide’s story takes her, as well as Nesryn. Both of them have been through a lot, but I think they’ll really shine in the coming books. I also love Manon and Lysandra, through the whole cast of characters has had moments where they’ve shined. Looking forward to the tandem read of EOS and TOD!

there was a lot of closure for some characters and storylines that also added to the adventure of the story. we also learned about the background of other characters that was always a twist and brought more suspense.
a lot of characters had periods of growth where they were more than what they originally started as within the series, and made them really enjoyable characters. very much excited for the rest of the adventure.
