Reprise: the YA version

The Harmonia Chronicles: the YA version #2

by Jarah Aurel

They left me. He left me.

Malia never wanted to play a part in this war between darkness and light, much less one so vital. But life has never gone according to her wishes and it doesn’t start now. Stuck at the Dark Fraction’s camp with no rescue in sight, she finds her own way out of that cell. One that leaves no room for the sweet girl she thought she was.

Time to leave that version of herself behind and become the monster she has to be to survive. The monster that will get revenge on the people who abandoned her and the boy who never returned his life debt.

The amount of whiplash I just received from this book is something that I cannot explain.

I knew it too. I knew that they were WAY too happy. Everything was going just the way it was supposed to. We were communicating. She was healing. He was healing. They were happy….a little too happy.

I tried to prepare myself but nothing, absolutely NOTHING, could ever prepare me for what I just read. I seriously do not understand how we can come back from this😭 I am completely broken. I DONT GET IT. And then just as I was reading the most soul crushing thing of my life, I go to the next page expecting more trauma then…”Acknowledgments”.
There are no words to explain how upset I am and how crushed I am because how?! HOW?!? I am at a loss for words. 5⭐️.

Ok so I usually let books marinate a little bit in my mind before I write a review about them, but I’m a little too messed up about this book. I don’t think I’ve read a book with this much emotion in my life. This book has more emotions than I do and that’s for real depressing things were going so well I really really don’t know how to feel about this because I am really, really not OK. The ending was the most gutwrenching thing. I’ve never cried reading a book and for granted I didn’t cry reading this one, but I was really really close. It was the day they were supposed to move in together and he died and I had a suspicion he was gonna die, but it was the last chapter and I was like there’s no way he dies. I was so so wrong and the last thing they said to each other was she said don’t die and he said I wouldn’t dare you fucking liar liar liar who lies I am kind of destroyed and I don’t know what to do with my life now she had finally opened up about her trauma and he died and she was so sad and the end was even more gut wrenching after he died and it was just her trying to get out of that room to go save him, and when he said we’ll go collect the bodies later I literally broke She has been through so much and he’s dead. I also got thrown for a loop about the fertility thing where she can’t have kids like it reminds me of black widow, but I literally was like bro what I don’t know if I can wait till January but besides that the book was amazing five stars.
Also, I love the author of this book and I love her first books and the way she writes but when I tell you that if he doesn’t come back in the third book I’m coming for you and my therapy bills will be in the mail thank you for your time
