Thoughts:
This. Book. I—.
I enjoyed but didn't love the rest of this series. I was overwhelmed and devastated and captured by this visually explosive story. I may not have loved the characters at the beginning, but by the end I loved them so very much. The plot was wild, chaotic, and frankly not as memorable as the most emotional images, but said images were captivating: dark and blinding at the same time, so violently visceral I was stunned. I may not re-read the whole series, but the strength of the imagery in this book alone would be worth a re-read, and with the found-family character relationships on top, this may be a book I need to purchase.
