SPOILERS AT EVERY SINGLE TURN! Proceed at your own risk.
Chat with us about a story that caught us off guard, kept us reeling, and left us wrestling with conflicting feelings (and a growing love for Lidia freaking Cervos).
With a personal rating of 4.35 stars and we reflect on our initial mood-reading experience and how, with time (and discussion), our appreciation for the intricate world-building has grown tenfold.
We’re breaking down:
-The sci-fi twist (yes, submersibles and galactic travel) and how it shifted our expectations from romantic fantasy to something new—and surprisingly compelling
-The multi-POV madness: the chaos, the confusion, and the “oh wait, who’s talking?” chapter flip moments
- The Inner Circle crossover: wildly anticipated, a bit of a tease, and definitely full of Nesta warmth we didn’t expect
-Lidia Cervos (The Hind): an absolute standout. Her guilt, sacrifice, hidden motherhood, and unwillingness to be easily forgiven? Iconic. Complex. Devastating.
- The Ruhn & Lidia dynamic: soft, tense, and beautifully tragic
- Fire sprites are simply our favorite
- Bryce & Hunt: Do they really work? Are they strong, but still kind of... meh? And is Bryce’s impulsivity finally too much to excuse?
