*insert crying emoji and six billion hearts*

I don't have the words to tell you how much I loved this book. The Characters, the storylines, the setting, dialogue. AH! Every bit was so good.
I loved Seb immediately; he was grumpy and rude, and I knew he was secretly such a sweet cinnamon roll. Mara was so fierce. Oh my god, she's amazing. She is so beautiful, and I LOVED how she stood up to Seb and wasn't afraid to speak her mind or ask for space or what she needed.
The mystery/second storyline that was happening, along with the romance, had me captivated. I was so interested to know what was happening with the salts, the signs, and finding information about settlers! Like I was along for the ride, and I loved it. The islands are so interesting, and I hope to keep learning more in the next book.

This book was just incredible, I cannot recommend it enough. It was the best reading experience.
