Wow, wow, wow! What an epic conclusion to this duology!
At the start of this book I was worried it wouldn’t live up to my expectations after book 1. It surpassed them 🙌 I rated book one 4.5 stars, and somehow even though this book is only a half star above it’s predecessor, it feels immensely stronger.
The character arcs were completed. The loose ends were tied. Everything came full circle, and even things I had forgotten about came back into the fold. There were so many amazing lines in this book and I’m excited to read more of Leigh’s work now that her writing style has grown on me.
Everything about this duology was just so SMART.
Favorite Quotes (if I had to choose two 😩):
“I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together”
“This action will have no echo”
