I mean that clifchanger-who could've sensed it coming, right? But I felt a hunch that something like that was being hurled my way. When there is so much drama, tension and nail biting action in a book such as SoC does, you are not surprised by anything anymore. You grow numb to the surprises and twists. The ending was not quite what I expected to be but the characters and the mood makes it a solid 5 stars. It will be interesting to see how the sequel wraps up the main storyline and what fate awaits each of the Crows. The characters and the way their back stories are written is really compelling and is what keeps the pace of the story rolling forward like a boulder.

I haven't even watched the show yet but I could perfectly envision all the cast members donning their respective characters' little quirks and traits playing in my mind. I mean I literally get it why Kaz is most people's fav lol. It is his amorality, brooding cynicism and a dangerous edge  masking his inner layer of vulnerability that makes him human. This is what makes  everyone go weak.
