I got to the end of Ife's chapters and I thought, "you know what? If this book had only been from her point of view, I think I really would have enjoyed this book. there really was promise here, especially in the worldbuilding and a better developmental editor could have salvaged this. maybe I'll read the sequel" 

AND THEN I FINISHED IT AND THE ENDING IS A CLIFFHANGER AND NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE. I HATE COA AND NOW I REFUSE TO FORGIVE HER CHAPTERS. ALINA SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE SECOND PROTAGONIST. 

also also I hated Coa's actress in the audiobook. was there no director there to tell her not to read the whole book like she was gonna cry? it gets so exhausting to listen to and loses any emotional impact it could have had!
