Oh. My. God. The banter & relationships were just 🤌🏻 this was such a unique take on other worlds and magic. I loved every second of this book and can't wait for the next. I know Aleja and Violet are going to be going through some things. I normally don't like the amnesia/forgetting who I am trope, but I really liked it in this case. I felt it made the perfect explanation for a lot of things and had Nic & Aleja's roles been reversed, she'd have done the same with him. I have my suspicions about the thing in Violet so we'll see 🤔 I really hope I'm not right because I would be HEART BROKE if come to find out she has something to do with The Third like I think she does. 
I still don't fully understand The First, Second, and Third. Like who are they? What are they? I understand The Second is basically Nic's boss, and The First is the boss of the enemy, but what is The Third? Where do they come in? Are they like evil incarnate?
