Honestly after about halfway through I skim read the Robert - circle parts , it just was too slow . I enjoyed the sizzy bits but this is definitely my least favourite so far

I LOVED LOVED LOVED LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE CIRCLE AND MEETING THE YOUNG CIRCLE MEMBERS!!! It just made me so excited. This was my most anticipated novella out of all ten and it didn't let me down! Being from Robert's perspective was also really enjoyable because I feel like all through TMI not much was really learned about him.
I was very confused with what was up with Izzy too. I actually thought she'd gone off the rocker a bit, to be honest. I liked how it was all a lesson though. It's a lesson that resonates into the real world too, not just in stories. I think that it's a very important lesson to learn and I'm glad it was both part of the plot and served an important lesson for the readers and the characters.
On to number 6!

I'm just glad Robert Lightwood is really trying to fix things with Alec and Izzy. They deserve that at least.

Me gustó pero fue como fastidioso.
Don't hate.
En The Evil We Love le echamos un vistazo al Circulo en sus inicios desde el punto de vista de un personaje en el que poco nos hemos adentrado: Robert Lightwood.
Particularmente Robert nunca ha sido un personaje que me llamase la atención. Siempre me pareció medio jackass con varios personajes incluyendo Alec y después de todo el drama que hubo con Maryse no creo que se encontrase entre los personajes favoritos de muchos.
También había oído los rumores sobre su parabatai Michael... Y son verdad.
De todas formas Robert sigue siendo un personaje meh.
Pero llega a la Academia junto con Izzy para hablarles del Circulo. Siendo honesta me pareció brillante el plan. Que Izzy crease un grupo desafiando las reglas hasta el punto de ser peligroso para demostrar como seguir a alguien a ciegas es estúpido y bueno... Peligroso.
Hey, no esta mal. El colectivo es estúpido. Demostraron el punto porque vemos como la fe ciega que el Círculo tenia en Valentine empezó, como una sola persona podía manipular tan bien a otras alimentándose de sus temores y deseos. Todos sabemos como terminó el Círculo.
Me sorprendió el hecho de que ya Simon estuviese terminando su primer año en la Academia. Después recordé que el iba a estar dos años allí antes de Ascender y se que ese es el tema del último relato asi que 5 relatos sobre el primer año y 5 sobre el segundo.
Funciona para mi. Veamos que nos depara el segundo año en la Academia.

Finally, finally we have some extra content about the circle. I always wanted to know more about it and how everything worked and how the relationships were. This was amazing and not at all like I would have expected!

I don't like that the characters are so annoying only to redeem themselves in last few pages... why? :) but still, it was really good!

medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I like learning more about Valentine when he was younger. I am very curious about what turned him into the monster he became.

Once again I loved this book. I won't be doing the whole reviewing thing until later, but I do know this is a really mature book in comparison with the rest of the series.

I don't think this was my favorite novella out of the ones I've read so far. It wasn't boring but I don't know how to explain it - I guess I was hoping to read something different. I don't know. I'm crazy. I need more coffee. I'm still going to read the rest of this series.
So, The Evil We Love just had a ton of flashbacks with Valentine and Robert. Valentine, well both the young and old version, was just plain creepy. I could feel myself internally cringing the whole time. Then there's Robert who I hated from the beginning as well and this book just made me hate them even more. I didn't think that was possible but man did this book prove me wrong.
However, I did like getting to know more about the circle because I always founds that interesting. So, I'm happy that I got more information about that little cult in this book. Also, Michael Wayland, poor poor Michael, he definitely deserved way freaking better. I demand justice for him people.
