This was entertaining AF!

I listened to this on audio which is out of my comfort zone, but the voice actress did a phenomenal job expressing the different characters, emotions, and projecting the vibe of each scene.

I've always been a fan of villains and this book gave me multiple likable villains and one I wanted to punch in the jaw.

The politics, the bond, and the theme of weaponizing your love all resonated. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
