Wow! This book was amazing!! I have so many questions about Oleander and her bonds. I loved learning about the college and the TT classes. The struggles that Oleander goes through between the bonds and hiding from the resistance made for a really fast paced book. At this point, Griffin and Gabe are my favourite and I definitely don't mind Atlas, the brothers - Nox and North - are the worst!

This was such a fun read! There were some cliche moments but the tension between Diem, Luther and even Henri led to a plot that moved fast. 

The ending was a bit expected but I’m interested to see where Diem’s choices will lead her in the next book. 

There’s essentially minimal spice in this book but I have a feeling that it will increase in future books.
