Other than the gods themselves, there were no characters that I didn’t like.
The only two who came close were Minya and Thyon, but even the two of them weren’t evil, they just lacked compassion.
And the dreams.
Laini Taylor’s writing truly encompasses and deserves the word “art.”
I have long wished that I could dive into the worlds I read about, and then there I was, reading about a world I wanted to dive into, and within that world they were doing the same thing.

That wonder of there being more than we know and it’s what I’d wish I still could believe in.
The writing is beautiful and although the plot is predictable, that didn’t annoy me with this one. When someone asks me again who would be the perfect book boyfriend my answer will be Lazlo Strange.
