Wow!! What an incredible ride!! I'm absolutely ACHING for book 2 at this point. I read through the last few pages at breakneck speed, and have to say, the ending was really satisfying! I'm really happy with the decision Eva made. The twist was interesting. I think it would've been nice if there was some foreshadowing, but I'm not too bothered about it. My favorite character is definitely Bacha, and I hope to see more of him and [spoiler] in the second book. Their romance kind of felt like a footnote. Eva and the person she ended up with make a good couple, and I'm eager to see them grow together. This book definitely ends on a cliffhanger, so I guess it's lucky for me the second one is already available!
