I enjoyed the story so much that I wish the book was longer and not as fast paced as it is. While I think the ending might be controversial, I'm happy to say I liked it a lot.

4.0

I don't know what to think.
I love the premise. Hazel is delightfully original. She has good moral codes and fired determination and a heart for the dying. I admire her highly. And I do have a hard time resisting the dress-as-a-boy-to-get-away-with-it plot point.
The prose isn't anything to exclaim over—it could even use some help in places. The ending is... not what I expected. I only actually liked a couple characters in the entire book—most of them are entitled and rude and ignorant and I only barely feel bad saying it.
But man alive is the story spectacular.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I loved the characters, the setting, the story, everything about it! And the narrator does a fantastic job.
