i loved how we got more intimate and in-depth with bree herself and our main relationships (especially between our core four of the book bree/sel/alice/william), we spent a lot of time discovering things with them and i thoroughly enjoyed how things got to take their time; they were struggling hard in this book and seeing them move forwards and backwards in their journey made them all feel more real and their relationships feel natural. bree and sel’s relationship in this i— /passes out/ like GOD there was so much angst and yearning and subtle devotion and fighting and slowburn i ate it all up it was incredible im so AAAAAAAAAA and it was so interesting to see bree’s values and point of view change as she’s pushed to her literal limits trying to keep herself and everyone she loves alive. the ending im so sad about like we are at the “main characters lowest point” part of the hero’s journey and im so broken about sel and alice and about how bree has given in to death via demon when nick and sel JUST brought her back from possible death, this cliffhanger is going to haunt me but i will sit here crying into my hands patiently waiting for the next installment
