😮‍💨 I absolutely lovedddd this book. I will say this was heavy fantasy, a little bit of sci-fi , and a tiny bit of romance. This was such a fast paced book, there were so many WOW moments. Each chapter switched to multi POVs. Each character had their own arc that also lead them to being apart of the bigger over arching plot. I loved mostly each pov. One of them was kind of a mess lol. There were so many theories that actually came true. All that close reading definitely payed off. I think sum handled the cross over very well. This was a CC book, and she did well to use the correct characters to guest star. The characters Bryce interacted with directly related to the CC Plot. This was also the funniest sjm book. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more. The ending didn’t really end on a cliffhanger, but also left me satisfied for more. Also she through in a little marriage of convenience trope 😉
