 holy cow. HOLY COW. 
 dude, dude, dude, duuuude. okay. let me gather my thoughts. 
 so first off, I'm actually okay with what was a love triangle (I'm fairly new to the book community, so I'm not sick of it yet). I was rooting for Maven, which I thought I would be the only one rooting for him, since Cal was ~handsome and brooding~. but OH BOY. that freaking plot twist. Looking back, I ignored all the signs?? like? WHOA. 
 I could've done well with more character developent and description of how they look, but I loved Mare's development throughout the book. It wasn't a development of her intentions, or any of the things we usually see in fantasy/dystopian; it was more of a maturity development, or of intelligence? I don't know how to describe it, but wow. 
 I can't wait to read the next book. The only complaint I have is that it feels a little confined to the plot? Like, it could expand to become even better, but for now, I'm happy.
