This book was amazing. The tension had me kicking my feet and giggling like nobody's business.
The manipulation and abuse from Raven definitel hit a nerve with me. I hate seeing people being taken advantage of and as someone who has been in Nirrim's position, I felt very connected to her character. In saying that, I also connected to Sid in the way she was so angered to see Raven treat Nirrim as she did.
I'm looking forward to continuing the series. Very happy to close out the year with a 5⭐️
