Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A perfect finish to this duology. I loved that we got more from other characters like Attie and Forest but I feel like it was missing action in a lot of Iris’s portion. I just wanted more Roman and Iris!
I also really enjoyed revisiting the original idea of writing to a mystery person on the Alouettes but flipped so now Iris knows Roman but Roman doesn’t know Iris. But oh my god I was stressed when Roman didn’t remember and was stuck with Dacre. Learning more about the underworld, Dacre and the myths surrounding him was so fun; truly haven’t read anything like this. Iris is a baddie, girl killed not one but two powerful dudes not to mention one was a god?!! Her friends and family moved past that real fast, but I am glad they get to be happy. By the end of this book I was destroyed so many big scary and sad things happened. Forest’s letter (‘: ow.
The prose were as beautiful as ever and the characters were written so well i can’t complain. I love them all!
