FINAL THOUGHTS:

✦ I'm not crying, you're crying. Okay, we're both crying. 😭
✦ My heart breaks for the Thunderhead. Can I just ... I need to give it a hug, please.
✦ That ending. OMG that ending. My heart wasn't ready.
✦ I need all the chocolate.
✦ I can't even.

This plan is 100% crazy and things are exploding and my nerves are frayed all to pieces and I don't have any fingernails left to bite at this point. It's too early in the morning for all these emotions, but I sure as heck am NOT putting this book down now. 😱

It's always a bad sign when your artificial intelligence system says, "We need to talk." *Always*

"He had few visitors. When people showed up at his door, he usually gleaned them. A fitting fate for those who would have the audacity to bother him."

This man is my spirit animal! Fear the wrath of the introverts!

Oh, look, there's Citra just doing her thing, being a BAMF, like she does. Gosh, I'm so glad she's back, because I missed her so much.

*clings to Citra's legs* Please, never leave us again. 😭

"You are a terrible person. [...] You are a wonderful person."
"Well, which is it?"
"Why can't you see that the answer is both?"

- This is probably the most romantic thing I've read, and it wasn't even said in a romantic way. Quick, someone write a romance around this!

I did say no spoilers, but this chapter was ... man. Okay, in emojis:

🤔👨‍🚒🚒🍴🔔💥😱🔥💀💥😍🗡️😵😱

If you can sort out my emotions, let me know, because I'm at a loss. All I know is that we don't stop on this chapter tonight, darn it!

Man, that was cold. I'd love to say that I'm surprised, but ... I'm not really. I knew *something* was going to happen, just not what exactly it would be. And this, ladies and gentleman, is the natural life cycle of a zealot. It sure can be pretty to look at, but man is it nasty.

1. Jericho is a fabulous name. More people should name their kids this.

2. I think I may be just a teensy bit in love. 💜

3. I predict this character will disappointment, because THEY ALWAYS DO. I no longer trust characters I like, because obviously I have poor judgment.

Can I just say how perfect Rowan is? He walks that fine line where he'd make the absolutely perfect villain (who I absolutely have and would root for), but also a compelling hero. An anti-hero? Whatever it is, it works, and I love him. 😍 More Rowan snark, please.
