⚠️ This review contains spoilers!

After reading 4 Sarah J Maas books in a row, this felt a lot less stupid to read in comparison. Of course there's the whole “this guy is bullying me but secretly deep down it's because he had a crush on me” trope but I'mma roll with it. Jude makes dumb mistakes (like Lockey or whatever his name was) which you can see coming, but hey, she's still young and she realises the error of her ways in the end. Hoping to see some growth in her spy skills into the next books.
