This novel was phenomenal. Smut was perfectly placed in the story, the plot MADE sense and it didn’t get confusing during the novel. The character development was amazing and the world that Ali made for her characters was so interesting. While reading I was hoping they wouldn’t win the war or that something bad would happen so that the series would continue. And while none of my hopes/theories actually came true- I’m so happy there’s going to be another book because this one was JAWDROPPING. I cannot believe it’s Ali’s first novel, it seems as if she’s been writing for years. I definitely recommend this book to any and everybody
