See allFirst of all, as hot as the darkling was, he was a bit much at times, and i waa glad to find out that and the kiss (etc) were weird and off putting on purpose. The writing is mediocre, the characters kind of unoriginal and uninteresting (although i do like them either way, especially the darkling), i didn't love the “not like other girls” attitude that appeared from time to time, the ending was alright but im not excited to continue the series, it wasn't amazing. I did really enjoy the worldbuilding though. The pacing was a little weird, with the first part of the book dragging a bit, and then a small part around the 70% mark seemingly way too short, but it wasn't too distracting. First person past tense took me out of the story a bit, some of the action sequences felt a lot less sudden and... exciting? action-packed? and i found it a bit more difficult to connect to the mc for a major part of the book. I enjoyed this anyway though, and will continue the series :)

Percy is – as always – the saving grace of literally anything happening. Hazel and Frank were kind of fun but mostly mediocre ngl. Percy won (as always - again) though
4,5 ★! It was a great last book, loved it, but could've been better so i cut half a star :)
