this book felt like a punch to my chest, a slap to my face, a stab to my back and a kick to my stomach, all at the same fucking time. i can't even attempt to write a proper review. you will have to wait until i finish book #3 for that. on the bright side, i bought a cactus today. but that won't help me deal with all of these feelings. excuse me while i lock myself into my room and don't go out until i finish the series. damn you, C.S. Pacat. damn you.
