I’m so in love with this series! Wowohwow! They really do get better & better, & the intensity & EVERYTHING increases each book so far as well. Characters to add that have heart now include Calla. Wow. Also, 2 new characters with 2 new abilities that just FASCINATE me. This author knows how to write incredible characters that for sure. As usual, this was a roller coaster of emotions. My heart broke for 1 character, & what they’re going through. It’s something that can change a person, & I was praying it wouldn’t them, but then that ending?! I didn’t know what to think! Ahhhh! Lol There are some important topics weaves into the story as well, such as abuse. It’s not always physical. I’ve experienced all forms of abuse, & I’ve always said sometimes words can hurt more than physical. A character says something similar in here, & I FELT THAT. It all takes a toll, & you feel like you’re alone & deserve it all. Especially when the ones who are supposed to love & protect you are the ones doing it. The sad thing is, you want that love from those more than anyone. You’re not alone! Reach out for help, talk to someone. ANYWAY, just wanted to mention that. Also, our “scars” prove we are survivors, & we can overcome. When you 1st look at the The Lost Cities, it’s easy to think it’s a perfect place. Nothing is perfect. Sophie’s the perfect person to help this world, & make them question the things that need to change….things they never thought to question before. The humor part of the roller coaster is still amazing lol Silveny & her TMI info was hilarious! Then the twists!Then there’s a scene that had me crying at the end..beautiful but so sad..then I’m smiling ear to ear with Sandor. Emotions. Everywhere. Let’s just say I’m already over halfway through the next book lol Still HIGHLY recommend these! Another BEAUTIFUL cover by Jason Chan too!
