This wasn’t the easiest read in the whole world, just because it hurt to see my baby in this way. It actually reminded me of the book Sweet and Bitter Magic if that book had actually been written in a way I enjoyed (okay, woof, sort it’s catching strays or whatever the kids say these days). I really really enjoyed learning more about Sid because I fell for her so completely in the first book. I feel like the ending was a bit abrupt and it could’ve gone into more detail about the consequences of everything? Plus, and this is only glaring because of how right the first book got it, but I really did need more time with them together after everything that went down. Still, this was a very very good book.
