OH MY GOSH. First of all, I loved this book, it was so good. But I will never mentally recover. THIS WILL HAVE SPOILERS. BE WARNED. I feel so bad for Freedom/Lizard! She was treated so badly by Cottonmouth and the loneliness didn't help. She tried to be tough and pretend that she was so fierce, but inside all she wanted was someone to care about her. However, I had to reread the part where Luna got absorbed into the Hivemind because I was so confused. I did eventually understand, but Tui.T.Sutherland could have made it a bit easier to comprehend. But seeing the origin of The Scorching? My gosh, I loved it. I can't stress how much I loved this new installation of one of my favorite series. However, it's not my fave book, that goes to either Dangerous Gift or The Hidden Kingdom. The epilogue of Flames of Hope was heartwarming, and I loved that. Also, I put off reading this book for so long because I didn't want to have it be, well, finished. But all in all, awesome book. Go read it.
