WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT??! THAT WAS SO CRUEL. WHY CASSIE??!

She said four major characters would die. She meant it. They all made me feel something, but one absolutely destroyed. Omg. 😭 (It didn't make me cry but SO. MANY. FEELS.)

Okay, so I'm not going to be able to write a review. I need to process what just happened. A review might come later, if I can ever manage coherent thoughts.

Honestly this book was everything I hoped for and more. The characters, the story, the romance, the drama... it was amazing. I loved Emma, Julian, all of the Blackthorn siblings, Cristina, Kit, and the returning characters. The twists the story took were ones I never would've guessed. I ship so many people and it's probably going to hurt me in the final book but whatever. This book was brilliant and perfect and also absolutely heart-wrenching. I cannot believe what I just read.

BUT THAT ONE DEATH. 💔

Other things I wanted to mention:
» The humor was still there. It didn't help when everything hit the fan, but it made me laugh.
» Romantic. Tension. Omg. Cassie writes it SO WELL.
» MALEC AND KIDS. MALEC AND KIDS. MALEC AND KIDS. I'm fangirling, can you tell? 🌚
» A new romance I never expected. I love it. It's so cute and awkward, and from two characters I never thought of as cute or awkward. I need more in book three.
» A character came out as trans. I have so much more respect for [character], because what [they] went through couldn't have been easy.
» A sad lack of Izzy, Simon, Jem, and Tessa. They were all mentioned, sure, but... no appearances.
» However... CLARY AND JACE. They played a part in the beginning and then left on a note that honestly has me terrified. It was brought up, and then left alone for the rest of the book. I feel like something is going to happen in the last book and IT BETTER NOT.
» I love Kit?? I didn't expect to??
» The Seelie Queen revealed a thing. A big thing. I'm not sure how to feel about this thing.

I'll stop here. I'm just rambling, honestly. My point is that this book was fabulous and soul-crushing and I need the next one now. I mean, it's going to destroy me, if this is any indication, but I don't want to wait two years. THAT IS NOT OKAY.

The end.
