loved this book. it was very pinterest fantasy aesthetic meets hunger games but in a good way. the plot was engaging and i found myself on edge after a lot of chapters. the worldbuilding is well explained and left enough intrigue for the next book. speaking of, i can't wait for it! the way it left these characters was devastating, particularly kai who actually was my favourite character. i think he had more character development an depth than paedyn, and i can't wait to see how his character progresses in the next book.
