oh SHIT this was so much better than the first book omg i was hooked !!! jaren and kiva’s relationship confuses me a bit because he acts like they’re dating and kisses her and stuff but never on the mouth and idk but i’m glad they did eventually kiss but then it was interrupted 😞 did not expect mirryn to be working with zuleeka oh and caldon knowing who kiva was from the start. and rhess damn so many little plot twists. and not kiva going back to zalindov my poor girl 😭 and i hate when miscommunication trope but someone else miscommunicates like what zuleeka said abt kiva to jaren but it’s not the full truth and she couldn’t defend herself ughhh
