I adored the movie, so i thought i would give the movie a try. and I love it. Most of the people who i am friends with didn't seems to like the book and i don't know why. But the book was fill with details that were missed from the movies, so i am glad that i watch the movie first and then read the book. the only think i have to complain about the book is the bonus chapter, since seeing the movie, i thought it was pointless in putting the bonus chapter online, and it was release right went the movie came out, so it was like read the book, watch the movies and then read the bonus chapter (which after the movie, is kind of pointless). that's my only complain.

I breezed through this one. It's great up until the ending. What's the matter with the ending? Well the answer to that is there isn't one. It just stops. At least they included an ending to the movie!

This book was horrible. Boring and confusing to read. It switched between who was telling the story so much that it became confusing I thought I was only following the sister that was still alive but apparently not. They also never tell you who the wolf was just who it might have been. I feel like it could have been written so much better then it was. Back to fairs fair with this book...

This book, although enchanting and mysterious at times, was a struggle to get through.
Part I liked:
I thought the plot had a lot of potential and was captivating.
Complaint 1: Valerie
The main character Valerie was so irritating. She had an extreme character change for the worse throughout the book. I couldn't stand her.
Complaint 2: Writing
The writing occasionally switched from Valerie's point of view to someone else's. When this did happen, it was very hard to tell who it was because it was not consistently written.
Complaint 3: Relationships
Any relationship -- romantic or platonic-- in the book was either confusing or very unhealthy.
Complaint 4: There was no ending
The book just dropped off with a link to a website. There was no resolution. It felt like the last ten chapters were missing because how abrupt it cut off.

The time has come, first 1 star review of the year.
When I was in 6th grade I wanted to be a writer and I wrote this horrible book about four kingdoms and a failed prince that would develop to become a leader and a future king but would leave his position bcs his wife would be a better monarch so instead of the royal family continuing in the power this girl Dalia (who was not the mc) would be the Queen. If you ask me, I still see potential in it and if I ever decide to go back to it it would be good, but this book looks like my 6th grade book and it sucks.
It has no potential, my 6th grader self could have made a better plot. I skipped like 50% of the book and gosh it was terrible. Also the sister dying? Shut up, shut uppp. The mc was so annoying, the LI was so annoying.
HENRY WAS THE ONE BITCH.
Anyways don't read it bye.
