“I am shadow and darkness and stronger than the girl he sacrificed for the crown.”

WOW THIS WAS A MF ROLLERCOASTER!!! i just randomly happened to pick this one up from the library and was not prepared for the contents of this book. there was so many unexpected twists and turns, so much betrayal, LIES!!! it was sooo crazy

i was going to give it 4 stars just bc she ended up with sebastian and not finn BUT THAT ONE LAST BETRAYAL AT THE FINAL CHAPTER BUMPED IT BACK UP TO FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!

i am constantly thinking about brie and finn 😏😏

An interesting story and I'm excited to read the sequel. The author uses male and female instead of man and woman in most instances which, despite understanding the reasoning behind it given the story, still gives me an ick.

The cover of this book motivated me to start reading it, but because I went in with such a high anticipation and expectation, I felt slightly let down when it wasn't the case.

Regardless, the book does get exciting towards the end and it is then that you start to get addicted to the story.

It is moderately-paced and some of the plots twists are pretty predictable.

THOUGH I GOTTA SAY, the betrayals tho. Can't trust nobody fr.

Gave it an overall 4/5 bc the plot is still interesting and not so slowly-paced that I become totally bored of it so it's fine. Writing style is good too.

Personally I didn't enjoy this book. The premise was promising but the execution fell flat. The whole first half felt very much like ACOTAR fanfiction. 

And the ending was not satisfying for me. I guessed a lot of what was going to happen by chapter 10 and almost everything else by chapter 19. 

This felt like the miscommunication trope to the extreme which has never been a favorite. There were so many places where honesty could have made a better story.
