The Bitter Kingdom

This book… I struggle to find the words for how I feel about it. I devoured the book over the course of a day and the story is still sticking with me several days later. I continue to ride the rollercoaster of events long after I finished the last page. The withdrawal is real on this one. Don’t get me wrong, there are flaws and predictable events throughout the book, but I don’t even care. I will say this book had significantly more going on plot wise and they covered a lot of ground, both figuratively and literally. The journey was such a ride! Slightly predictable, but there were some definite curves to keep you engaged (or at least I thought so.) I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the romance; I love the continued growth between Hector and Elisa - my god do I love Hector. He might not be the most complex of characters but I don’t even care. I also adored reading through the growing relationships between Storm and the others. This series surprised me and has quickly become a favorite that I absolutely plan to come back to.
