What a rollercoaster of conflicting emotions.

This was a very slow starting book, I'll be honest it took me until around Chapter 10 to really get into it, but after that, I struggled to put it down.

I feel that the slow, and at times, tedious, start to this book, is 100% necessary for character development. Nadya's character needed to be pushed, broken and reassembled for this story to really take hold of the reader. I'm very glad that I pushed through because the latter half of this story is heart wrenching, it will make you question everything, and I adored it. I cannot wait for the sequel.
