** spoiler alert ** 
 OHMYGOSH THIS BOOK. 
 guys I have read a lot of really awesome books but this one was absolutely amazing. 
 I LOVE KAROU she is so bad ass and the story of Brimstone and how he saved her is absolutely heartbreaking 
 but in our current society where no character actually dies in fantasy books ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS ALREADY A SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT KAROU KNOWS HOW TO DO HERSELF OF BRINGING HIM BACK 
 I have a feeling she will bring brimstone back 
 and akiva will help her OF COURSE 
 win her forgiveness 
 and a happy ending will ensue 
 i can only hope though 
 still this book was awesomeee yayyy
