Reading this book took me longer than I wanted it to take, not just because of its size but because I wasn't totally invested. I was debating between a two and a three star review towards the end but the last 100 pages or so bumped it up to three.

I picked this up for the second time after reading SO many reviews and recs comparing Locke to Kaz Brekker. I definitely see the resemblance, but I love Kaz SO much that it'd be really hard to top it. I liked Locke but he's nowhere near Kaz in my opinion.

I really liked Locke's and Jean's friendship though, and I enjoyed the ending a lot. It was a little difficult for me to keep up with the jumping back and forth in time in the beginning, but I got used to it by the end. I'll probably pick up the next book in the series eventually. I'm very curious about what happened between Locke and Sabetha...
