“Love is for children, said the girl.
Death is for fools, said the shadow.
Darkness is my destiny, said the boy.
Allegiance is my undoing, said the eagle.
Suffering is our fate, said the beauty.
And they were all horribly wrong.”
So... I can't review this book in one single line. There's too much to say:
Lowkey wasn't expecting to get so invested into this world and enjoy this book as much as I did! Maybe I'm just a romance girl at heart. The way I absolutely ATE it up. I was here for this book lol. Solid plot, solid worldbuilding, solid writing (lots of great quotes), the yearning, the unintentionally funny moments that made me laugh out loud, great characters, great dynamics... I had a fun time reading this book, which I haven't had in a really long time! This book goes from 0 to 100 real quick, and it's around about after the 100 pages mark.
I was also re-reading certain bits to get a better grasp on the world and the characters and the plot. There is a few little nuggets of foreshadowing that I really enjoyed, as well as the plot twists. I was in this weird state where I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want it to end but I also wanted to know what would happen next. Books are weird like that.
Was the romance a little rushed but also kind of not? Yes.
Was the pacing all over the place? Yes.
Could some of the characters have been developed more? Yes.
But I still had a great time!!
