I think this might be one of my new favourite books of all time. I usually have such a hard time feeling connected to characters & usually am more plot focussed, but the characters really had me in this book. Especially GIDEON!! Though I adore Rune too!! But something about dark broody Gideon having so much depth & seeing how he has gone through so much trauma & experienced it in different ways really hit me hard. I also just loved the plot & magic system in this book & am SO excited to see where things go in the next book! I literally can’t stop thinking about this book & these characters.
