i can't sing this series' praises enough,, seriously though i am absolutely in freaking love with this story, the characters, the twists and turns, everything.
this book was e m o t i o n a l. like highly. i cried at least 5 seperate times and all of them were borderline ugly cries.
there's a large overpowering theme of guilt and the effect of grief not only on a regular person but an elf - someone who typically does not experience loss at all. i feel so deeply for grady, edaline, sophie, the vakers, wylie, and everyone who has had to experience losing someone they loved so deeply before. especially in a world that doesn't acknowledge that grief. i think it was done beautifully.
also keefe ????? heart eye emojis
So I read this like a year after the first one... I suck at reading series, I know. But I'd say I remembered quite a lot, but also forgot a lot. I liked this, it was very fun and beautiful. I liked that this one was so much into Sophie's doubts and internal struggles. I'd say I like Keefe but Fitz was kind of annoying, which of course is understandable in this case anyway. I liked that we got more about Black Swan and I'd like to know more too. This one didn't end much in a cliffhanger in end though, and I'd say we may have had less action in this one. More emotional and mental stuff instead. I'd say this was pretty good! I loved it, and it's definitely a fun book series! I still don't like that there's literally no diversity whatsoever... and that all the guys crush on Sophie for some reason... Also, Sophie is so special and always gets hurt and goes to the physician was kind of overdone... It was pretty repetitive and I don't get why they have no therapist in this place at all??? But hey, I'm not mad, just maybe it could be better? Or it already is in the other books, I don't know. But I'd give the other ones a try, after some months, lol.
I loved this book! I think it was even better than the first one. Definitely one of my favorite middle grade series.
