This is definitely not a perfect book but I was invested in the characters in a way it rarely happens to me.
I loved the way they were flawed but also grew so much throughout the story.
One of my favourite things was definitely the relationship between Beatriz and Pasquale, it’s rare to see such a good partnership not based on romance and I’m so glad they bonded and stuck with each other.
I also liked Daphne and Bairre obviously, the fact that they both had secrets but clearly still cared for each other and the fact that she might be more “evil” than him is an added bonus.
In the end I also got attached to Violie even though I was skeptic at first, she turned out to be a great character with a good redemption arc. Not a super fan of the hints about him and Leo and I hope it doesn’t go in that direction for Sophie’s sake or at least that it evolves slowly.
There were some parts that were a bit predictable and some things were too convenient for the main characters but in the end I still enjoyed it a lot and I am sad that I can’t start right away the sequel.
