Genuinely like…..what even was this lol. This book made it glaringly obvious that the author had no idea what they were planning on doing with this series when she wrote the first book. Brand new villain in the last book of the series, new romance for Amari out of nowhere (probably because people said in the past that they wished Zelle and Amari would get together), absolutely no consequences for anyone’s actions. You don’t really care about any of the characters anymore or their relationships. The writing is average. The plot is a MESS. It’s a ya series and it’s very graphic in its description of violence but then in the end everything ends well for everyone. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this series.
