"They watched the past burn down together.
That night, Kalian slept like he hadn’t slept in years." These ending lines hit so hard!

Oh my, Benedora is ruthless!!!!

Life is a monster. It will hunt you until you are dead." What a prologue that was! Thankfully I can sleep in tomorrow because I have a sneaking feeling I won't be putting this book down any time soon...

Everyone looked on with anxiety and anticipation before recognition of the object dawned on those assembled.
It was a green eye." I simply *love* this book. The author has such a way of making it impossible to stop reading.

Kalen glanced at the three corpses, then at Irisa, before watching Jadica’s baleful stares. I’ll make this up to you, Jade. I promise." I am flying through this. It is as epic and exciting as promised, wow!

Reapers attacked Balidin from every direction. All reapers looked humanoid, but coarse patchwork fur irregularly covered their frequently scarred skin. Horns sprouted from their temples, like rams, bulls, or bucks. They stood on hooved feet and tore flesh with crooked, sharp fangs from their elongated snouts." SO CREEPY! I love books with creepy otherworldly creatures. They are so imaginative and stick with me.

This beginning is already epic, and we are thrown right into a brutal battle. I am so ready to dive into this world and story.

“What made her so sure of that was, despite the fact that dark truths about her had finally been revealed, no matter who her parents were, what blood ran in her veins, and how she’d come into the world…at heart she was still the same Fionna she had always been. And that just felt right.
Book nerd. Foodie. Witch. Freak.” Awww! I love that Fionna has found her confidence.

After Fionna's role in the last book, I am very excited to get to know her better.

In Pari’s nightmares, her belly burst open, and a hideous and gruesome creature clawed its way out." Ew! It reminds me of Alien!

I enjoy how we get to follow a different character, but in the same universe! And there are still mentions of Dessie, Andie, and the rest.

Penny Reid ordinarily enjoyed having men eat out of her hand, but on market days, she found lovesick puppies hanging around her stall a nuisance." Now that is a line that instantly makes me love a character!

OMG

“She closed her eyes, but she couldn’t sleep. One thought went around and around in her head.
Connor is dead, and the witches are to blame.” Or are they? I genuinely don't know. I love that in a mystery.

“No,” she finally said. “He’s gone.” I have bad feelings about Mrs. MacDonald.
