Don't get me wrong. I don't hate this book. I just don't think it lived up to the extraordinary hype that was thrown at me. I will continue the books though since this one is supposed to be the weakest of the series and Tahereh Mafi's characters and style have a lot of potential. I just thought that the story was sort of slow paced and boring at times.

Till skillnad från andra böcker jag läst så var det inte bara storyn som grep tag i mig utan också hur den var skriven. Man känner verkligen hur huvudpersonen tänker och tycker. Den är skriven så som man tänker..Det var äkta. Sen så var kanske inte själva grunden i den ''världen'' den utspelar sig i så väl genomtänkt som i t,ex hungerspelen där hela goverment grejen spelar roll. Denna boken riktade mer in sig på vad som händer inuti hennes huvud och det gillade jag.

This is one of many series I heard so much about that I had to see what all the fuss is about.

And I must say that the first half of the book I kept asking myself why why why. The book was written so well that not only Juliette felt tortured but I did as well. The writing was tricky good , I wanted to quit but I couldn’t, It just kept me glued to the pages pages pages. And about half way through I really liked it and it really changed for the better.

For a second I thought we had insta love story and it sort of was but also not. It made it more interesting and also gave you more history of both of them.

Juliette was a bit annoying annoying annoying , but as we go on she gets more likeable and I really liked her towards the end for the most part. It seemed like she needed a purpose to stand up and fight and I was cheering her on when she finally did.

I was pretty indifferent towards Adam , I didn’t love him but also didn’t hate him, he is just kind of there to me. I hope that will change later on.

Waren on the other hand… I LOVED him …. I loved the freaking villain, he is bad and he is evil and should be put down but man there was something about him that I loved. Maybe that he was honest about shit.

Once we met Kenji I loved it, I also really enjoyed him so much, he gave this dark world some humor that is much needed. Because neither Adam nor are Juliette all that funny but that is also understandable.

I didn’t really see the end coming and yet I did, I figured something like that but not to that extent and I’m curious to see what happens next. I just hope the romance doesn’t take away from the story.

Overall the book is pretty good once you get the first half I thought and I rate it 3★ and since I already own book two and tree I will at least start with book two right away.
