really liked all the twists and different fights the characters had to go through! it was already pretty long, but i do wish there was a bit more done to wrap up and answer some questions (rune being able to See, harrow and juniper, gideon’s feelings on alex and rune, etc). the ending felt a bit sudden after the resolution, so despite hearing all about things being different and gideon/rune being together, we didn’t get to see much of it. i doooo wish we could have given a bit more gravity to the sexual abuse stuff. loved the romantic tension again, loved the arc of rune wanting to know herself and figuring it out. the whole “no we can’t be together i need to stop being weak/stupid” got a little old but then it was over (thank you kristen for knowing when to let it go) and i really liked the running away stuff and how it was a window into the characters real values and wishes. a fun read!! i love fantasy duologies!
