This is the first ever book that I finished, closed, then IMMEDIATELY opened up and started reading all over again 🤩

It’s giving everything every lovable YA book gave, back in the day, but with adult themes thrown in there too.

I’m honestly obsessed with Oleander, she’s like a swearier Katniss Everdeen 🤣

Love this book and the only reason it’s not getting a full 5⭐️ is because I’m livid at how much I’m going to have to fork out for the rest of the series. Can’t seem to find second hand versions anywhere and with each of the later books all costing between £16.99- £19.99, this new addiction will likely set me back almost £100 💀💀💀💀 (absolutely not gonna be able to stop me though 😅)

overall really solid. it just needs a good copyedit. the story itself was pretty emotional and tense for a lot of the novel, as oli tries to keep a tight grip on herself against her bonds trying to both break her down and (later) try to be gentle with her (well, some of them anyway).

This book had one hell of a hook. The writing is stilted in places but the muster of the plot really grabs your attention and I just couldn’t stop reading. Reason for the low 4 is because of the overwhelming amount of characters, information, and foreshadowing you have to remember and reference to. Overall solid and I’m diving right into the second one right now.

it was waaay to slow for me. basically all the action happens in the last fourth of the book. untill then it is lots of yearning, longing and backstory

I had forgotten how annoying the fmc is in this book. Whining and always mentioning her power and that she can't wait to run away, and boy they'd be sorry if she could use her power... very repetitive. But I remember the rest of the series getting better, here's hoping I remember right!
