This definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. It was brutal and anything could happen - and most often everything went wrong. There were times when I was screaming inside and also moments that made me cry. This trilogy is one of the darkest YA fantasies I've read. 
 I love the complex characters. They do things I don't want them to do, but I love them and I support them and I want to be alright in the end. I especially don't agree on what Helene does, but I really hope the story will somehow end well for her as well. 
 The plot was amazing and the twists - I think I should have seen those coming because they seemed so obvious afterward, but they surprised me. And that's great! More of this please! 
 So much happens in this book and so much is still to happen, please give me the next book now so I won't forget everything!
