THIS IS A SIX STAR READ! I didn’t know Pierce Brown could follow up after Golden Star. I literally procrastinated this book because I was scared but it’s so so good. I cried so many times because of sadness but also happiness. The pacing is amazing, politics, BATTLES! Shit was a whole a rollercoaster and it sucks that I can’t read this trilogy again without the knowledge I have. I wish I could wipe my brain and read this series for the first time. I’ll always have a soft spot for this trilogy and the characters. This family is my home. This book made me FEEL in anyways that I thought was dead for me in books.
