This book was so hyped up and the hype did not disappoint. The book was slow at times but it was so good, I love the main characters and loved how they developed and grew close as the book went. The ending had me SHOCKED, I desperately need the second book but the kindle version is expensive and I don't like hardback </3. I highly recommend this book to those who like YA books and YA fantasy!!
