I continue to not understand why people dislike this book so much. I had so much fun reading it and I can't wait to read the rest of this series. 

I didn't want to put it down at all. I felt so immersed into the world that at times I genuinely felt like I was there. 

The only reason it's not a 5 star is because I didn't feel like anything in the plot was surprising. Of course I was very happy when I guessed the plot twist but I shouldn't have been able to guess everything that was going to take place throughout the book. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it was a little too predictable for my tastes. Even when I was actively trying not to guess where it was going to go.

Thankfully, predictablility doesn't mean I can't thoroughly enjoy a story.

Read this after the netlix series. The differences are interesting, some aspects I liked better in the book, other things improved in the series
the fact that Alina is half-shu in the series, is genius!


Overall, an easy, enjoyable read, but a bit boring after watching the series. Still looking forward to the next books, as I like how the story is built and the writing is pleasant.
