I’m not gonna lie to you, I started reading this solely because I was promised a disaster Hufflepuff, something *very* on brand for me.

Literally any excuse to read about puffs and I’m there. I went into this with no expectations, not even bothering to read the blurb and pretty unfamiliar with the inspiration text [b:The Count of Monte Cristo|7126|The Count of Monte Cristo|Alexandre Dumas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1309203605l/7126._SY75_.jpg|391568]. Still, I felt pretty confident that I knew exactly what direction this book was going from the beginning, but I’m pleased to say that the story took a few turns that caught me completely off guard and I loved it!

There’s a twist towards the beginning-ish and a couple towards the end and I didn’t see any of them coming, which was awesome. But the characters are really what make this book and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Amaya is a rage queen who wants to tear the whole world down and I was vibing with it.

And Cayo. UGH. My little disaster puff with the fabulous fashion flair and giant heart. I LOVE HIM OKAY?? NO ONE HURT MY FELLOW PUFFBALL.



I had so much fun following this story and I’m so curious to see how the next book plays out! Seriously have no idea what direction this plot is going in and I absolutely LOVE IT.

FINAL WORD

TWO THUMBS WAY UP FAM. If you’re looking for a fun adventure with awesome characters, this is definitely the book.
