I very much enjoyed this story, but I loved the characters even more! Tomorrow is adorably awkward and incredibly sweet with lots of love to give. I adore her bright perspective on things despite the darkness surrounding her situation. Dark is broody and traumatized, but if you dig deep enough, there’s a heart of gold that is fiercely loyal to those he loves. Their romance is very sweet and deeply emotional.

The world-building was quite confusing and difficult to follow, but that is most likely due to the fact that I read this as a stand-alone instead of as a series. The author states this book can be read as a stand-alone, but I personally wouldn’t recommend it as I felt very lost in this complicated world.
