Crazy wild ride

What an absolute wild ride. I didn't really know what to expect. And I didn't even want to fall in love with any characters because I didn't want anyone to die. Although Hyperia, I didn't like at all through out the book. While she had her good moments, she was already too far gone. Ajax annoyed me to know end, especially at the end with what he tried to gain and what he messed up. But I hope, over the next book, he becomes better. Loved Emilia, Lucien, and Vespir! Their characters were not perfect and all did things that they weren't proud of, but they have tried to better themselves and are continuing to do so. I know the next book is going to be insane, especially with what Hyperia has done. I cant wait to read it
