So many revelations I wasn’t expecting from him and he too made my heart hurt from the pain. Is it really any surprise that I ended up loving James in this book? He’s definitely the character that had the most depth. And what people are is less important than what they could be.” “I think what people were is less important than what they are. Like the loyalty they have for each other and their protectiveness🥺 It makes my heart swell with love, I really hope this relationship isn’t destroyed in any way because I will be heartbroken. Violet and Will’s friendship was LITERALLY EVERYTHING. She’s such a strong and loyal friend, I adore her so much. VIOLET DESERVES SO MUCH LOVE ANYONE WHO HURTS HER FACES MY WRATH🔪🔪 Literally want to murder so many characters for daring to bring her pain. This is one of many times where I wish I could give a character a big hug. “Her world, all her dreams, narrowed down to this cell, her false lives stripped away to show the truth: she wasn’t wanted.“ It’s insane how he’s able to come to the right conclusions so often? And I can already tell that there is still so much we don’t know about Will, I’m so so excited to learn more about him. The calm demeanor he has, being really careful and logical with the decisions he makes + very intelligent in a quiet like manner. His character is actually super interesting. He wasn’t really interesting but then I began to like him which eventually turned to love. The moment comes whether we will it or not, and we must make ourselves ready.” The characters had so many layers to them * thinking about two characters specifically* like the moral grayness in this book was * chef’s kiss* I’m so very much in love with them.

Like I predicted the plot twists but it was the type of plot twist that I was hoping would happen and am so happy it did. I love the way how the beginning made me think it was just the typical good vs. Dark Rise started off pretty slow but as I read it kept getting better and better. I can’t believe it took me this long to read one of her books especially with how much I’ve seen her name going around. Pacat book and it definitely won’t be my last. “The bright star holds, even as the darkness rises.” I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy this so much like just wow this was amazing? THE WAY IT GOT SO DARK TOWARDS THE END OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
