Not much of a fan. It was challenging to get through the end of the book. 
adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

this was gonna be a 3.5 stars but the ending was just so bad. They crammed as many plot twists to get a sequel out of it as Veronica Roth could. it didn’t rly add anything to the YA genre, and had a semi-predictable plot. But it was a nice, easy read, and I don’t think the author ever wrote “mc released a breath they didn’t realize they were holding” so there’s that. I like the world and the concept. Akos’ POV was so boring tho.

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

Not really sure what's going on, something about powers and fate? Too much happening before getting a lay of the land/world building for me personally.

The romance in this book is good, the world building is amazing, the characters are developed, and the story is entertaining. Not the greatest book I've ever read but still up there pretty high. Can't wait to read the second one!

I really struggled to get into this. It didn't pick up for me until the halfway point and even then it wasn't enough for me to really enjoy it.
