WOW. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
AND THE ENDING-
I waited for this book for over a year, ever since I saw Lauren talking about it for the first time. my expectations were really high and this was even better than what I was expecting. I loved this so much. I NEED BOOK TWO RN.
this is now one of my favourite books of all time. I loved the writing style, the characters, the world building... everything.
Kai is DEFINITELY in my book boyfriends list. I just love him with all my heart. (this is actually the second Kai I fall in love with lmao). I want him to be real so badddd. my standards because of Kai 📈
I loved the relationships between the characters, they were so cute.
Kai and Paedyn are the absolute cutest and I'm really intrigued about what's going to happen in the next book after that ending 😩
the author said that this book is kind of a mix of Red Queen and The Hunger Games. I've never read Red Queen (but it is on my tbr) but I did read The Hunger Games and I can definitely see the similarities (in a good way and not a copy paste way) with that book.
I highly HIGHLY recommended this book.
