Clare’s growth in this one had me tearing up towards the end. It’s been a rough journey, but she’s finally starting to blend her unrelenting humanity with the realities of the stark, new world she lives in. This one’s been my favorite so far

fun read, but disjointed at times. didn’t like as much as the first, but will probably read the third to finish out the trilogy. definitely recommend the audio versions of these 1000%. i feel like i might’ve dnf’d otherwise.
