5 *wow that was intense* stars!!! I finished this book several days ago and my feelings are still raw. I feel like I don't have the words (as I stare at my mostly blank computer screen) to convey how this book pleased me, saddened me, and made me fall in love with this world all over again. So many secrets are shared, so many story lines unraveled, and so many characters surprised me. From the very first page, I was lost to this amazing world that Ms. Bartol has created and I'm not sorry that I traded sleep for the opportunity to spend every possible moment immersed in this story. 
 I love that Kricket really came into her own here. She's always been an intelligent, sassy character but, in this book, she's fierce. She's not afraid to take on the challenges before her, she's not afraid to make decisions that may surprise you, and, most of all, she's not afraid to open her heart in some unlikely ways. As the pieces of her destiny come together, she struggles to find the answers but never gives up. She's strong and she untimely has to make sacrifices...ones I didn't see coming! 
 Now, if you haven't read the book yet, what I'm about to tell you may be a bit of a *SPOILER*...so proceed with caution!! 
 Are you still here?!?! If you are, I must tell you that among all the emotions that I felt in this book, one was a very big surprise to me and I'm still wondering how Amy Bartol managed to make me do something I didn't think I would ever do again. You see, a few years ago I read a wonderful series that many of you have probably read as well (*waves hello to the lovely Tahereh Mafi*) and during that series, I abandoned my team (*hangs head in shame*...well, not really). You see, by end of her series, I was head over heels for the bad guy. But, that was a one-time thing I told myself...it'll never happen again. Then along came Kyon. Yes, Kyon. And once again, I have to say that I'm abandoning my previous #TeamTrey status. I'm turning in my membership card and moving on because, as Kricket discovered more about Kyon, so did I. And I just couldn't help myself, I fell for him. Yes, he's still rough around the edges, easy to anger and a little full of himself. But, gosh, his protectiveness towards Kricket and his focus on her is so overwhelming that I just couldn't help myself. So much so that I sent my blog mate Christina this text... 
 "Are you flailing over Kyon? Please tell me you are... 
 tell me I'm not alone!!! 
 It's Warner all over again for me!!

 So...there you have it. I loved this book and I loved Kyon. You'll probably read some reviews that focus on the end of this book (an ending which some will love, some will hate and some, like me, will pray is not really the end) but I'd much rather focus on the amazing world building, the fantastic characters and the unexpected surprises...all of which come together to create a phenomenal series!! So, if you haven't picked this up, you are definitely missing out. Go get it now!!! 
 Then you too can join #TeamKyon!!
