Holy moly this book you guys. It's so good. SJM has an unparreled ability and talent for world building and character depth. There was a lot of info at the beginning that was hard to get through but once the story picked up, oh boy. It kept me on my toes. I was questioning everything I knew almost every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Yet another outstanding materpiece by Maas. Two souls intertwined through fate, but are they fated? A thrilling timeline where supernatural and folklore beings live in a time of technology. Bryce is a fire-breathing boss and I loved her in every minute of this book. Maas perfectly encapsulates trauma and self-infliction and how even through the darkest of tunnels, you have the choice to lay down and rot or drag yourself back to the light. I loved how she took a different perspective on the plot of this book and included murder mystery whilst maintaining her most notable genre, fantasy. The sexual tension between Bryce and Hunt had me hooked. A forbidden love, only denied by self worth. Their relationship flowed like a tide, pulling each other apart, yet drawing them closer. I loved their dynamic and the support provided from both characters towards each other. This book had me constantly on edge and questioning what was next. Excited for Sky and Breath, HELL YES!
