So in my opinion, this book was not as bad as some people made it seem. Going into this book, i had very low expectations. One of my problems with this book was that some things were kind of just forgotten in this book. I also didn’t find the characters that compelling, however I did enjoy Isla.

Celeste’s betrayal was probably one of the best parts of this book, and definitely the most interesting, however the book didn’t really talk about what will happen to the rest of the Starlings now that she is dead. I didn’t really like Isla and Oro together, and at first I was team Grim, and now I like neither of them. I also felt like lots of things in this book is not very believable. Otherwise, this book wasn’t too bad.
