I still love Alistair a ton (and his brother and their relationship). Alistair is not a monster and I stand by that 1000%. He's best boy I don't care haha I started to like Briony a lot more and liked seeing her relationship with her sister change/progress. I don't really care for Isobel anymore in this one unlike in the first book I seemed to like her. I now love Gavin and his progression (I'm a sucker for tragic characters growing). Reed was a little interesting but still not a fave. Finley is just meh/forgettable (looking back at my review for the first book I didnt even mention Finley. To me he's kind of a throw away character). I really enjoyed all the characters growth and how this curse breaking was playing out. I am both incredibly happy and incredibly sad about the ending though and what happened with the survivors. if any of them had to die why Briony instead of Finley?? Finley doesn't even get his own POV chapters! Who gives a shit about him besides Briony 😠like I get she would do anything to break the curse but still
I only really cared for 1 of the romances and was only invested in that one. Like it made me cry a little I was so in love with that love. The other romances I could take or leave tbh.
I loved how this progressed, and it's a great duology. If you like Battle Royale and The Hunger Games, this could def be for you especially if you like a tiny bit of dark fantasy/magic. One of the best duologies I've read so far because the sequel is just as good as, if not a wee bit better than, the first. I would say I'd love to see this as a movie, but I don't want that to happen considering how the film industry fumbled the character casting for so many book turned film adaptations. I would def read more from the author/s because I just loved this duology so much. I might have to actually buy the books I liked them that much
