** spoiler alert ** 
 Okay, so I don't think I am in the condition to write this review in full sentences because I am far too scatterbrained. 
 - Every character in this book that had a crush on someone (which is basically everyone) would have been able to go on and follow a goal if their person died which is so important. It is kind of the reason why I wasn't too scared about anyone dying considering how much I loved all of the characters. 
 - Is my tie straight? 
 - I am sorry to say this but Jesper and Wylan were my FAVORITES. I already loved them in the first book but their development and history killed me in this one. Wylan having his own point of view and finding out about his mother and learning how he tried to become invisible in his own home to hide from his own father when he was younger? Jesper being an absolute goofball kissing the wrong people, getting into a fight with Kaz, Kaz CALLING HIM JORDIE, being worried about his father, caring for Wylan and Wylan caring for him? Wylan and Jesper finally kissing? Pure bliss and happiness? YES! 
 - Kaz and Inej being so realistic with both of their backgrounds and their relationship and not exploited for fandom reasons 
 - Jes 
 - Nina overcoming insecurity and weakness and still standing strong even when the soul that was so perfect for her just died 
 - Also Inej crushing Pekka into pieces the same day he started to regain his courage 
 - Wylan roasting Kuwei 
 - The complete satisfaction that was the defeat of Jan Van Eck 
 - "There is no time to constantly be apologizing for existing." / "This action will have no echo."
