It’s been a long time since the ending of a book left me feeling the need for a sequel as hard as this one did. This is my first Marie Rutkoski book, and you better believe me when I say I’m currently adding the rest of her books to my (virtual) shopping cart. I finished this book over 24hrs ago and I have literally been unable to stop thinking about it.
