Not as unhinged as book 3 so I'm wondering if book 2 will be more unhinged and it ramps up as the series progresses. All I gotta say is “Intruders will catch these flames.”

What can I say? This series is such a good time. I loved this book. It was so funny and I laughed out loud more times than I can count. And those spicy scenes? Woooooooooweeeeeee! I'm Ace and even I got some tummy flutters.

Pretty good intro to the main series. I wish the cruelty of scion was more apparent. Like obviously you know they are bad but I really wanted to see the awfulness of them played out. It was just kinda thrown out there about people being executed on tv? (Idr very well) while she and Eliza hung out. Like I feel like it could have been more impactful if paige was to actually have been present at an execution or at least reacting to it being on the screen. But I get it. That wasn't the project of the book. I just wanted a little more.

Is it too early to say andrea stewart is a favorite author? Perhaps. But this book was so good!! Definitely a favorite of the year if not all time. I loved this book. The twists, the turns, mephi! Now to wait 5000 years to read the sequel bc that's what I do.

This one was such a hard one to decide if it was a 5 star or 6 star read for me. 6 stars means that it's a favorite of the year. I may end up adjusting the more I sit with my thoughts because man did this book have me screaming, crying, throwing up at MULTIPLE points in the story. It makes me want to go back and read the other 2 in the series (I read out of order because of a travelling book club I'm in, not that ya'll care).

However when I say this book's plot was unhinged, I mean UNHINGED. It was more unhinged than a broken door. I won't get into why this book was unhinged to avoid spoilers, but know that there were many times that I sat there, stared at the book, and went “What in the world?” then shrugged and said “Why the fuck not at this point?” and kept on reading.
