 Wow. This one does not disappoint! 
 Death has a terrible habit of cutting straight through every careful line you've drawn between your present and your future. 
 The world is so well done and Warcross comes across as such a necessity in this world, I'm pretty sure I need it in my life asap. 
 Emika is a great MC, her thoughts are engaging and she's just doing what she has to do. I pretty much adored her. 
 "But beauty can make people forgive a thousand cruelties." 
 The mystery kept me near the edge of my seat, although I totally called the one twist. Keen to see that explored! 
 Basically I'm just writing nonsense here, the point is - you need this book in your life.
