First 200 pages were everything I could have ever asked for… and then the author pulled a twilight and everything got way too sad for no reason other than teenage angst. Which, fine, is he main character had an amazing glow up, but the sacrifice yourself thing at the end made it worse because AGAIN! Communication and less angst people! The whole thing could have been 100 pages shorter but the first half was superb so it evened out to a 3/5 stard for me. The last half was just SO frustrating. I’d going to try book two but if it’s this teen angst-y again, I’m out. I just can’t stand the lack of communication trope.
