Overall I thought this was a good book, but it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. The writing was really gorgeous, and I enjoyed the concept of the book but honestly a lot of times the characters and relationships fell a bit flat, especially Isabelle. Even though she was a total badass, sometimes she felt more like a caricature of a “rebellious girl” with no other personality traits or defining qualities. I also didn't think that the romance was necessary since it didn't feel very well developed and was quite rushed and wished that they just devoted that time to a deeper exploration of the sister bonds and other themes in the book. Still was really well written and I can definitely see people liking this a lot more so honestly I would recommend it.
