It was brilliantly written. I'm coming from the ACOTAR series where plot is almost secondary to the romance, but this is very much the opposite. I love it. If you are looking for a strong heroine, you've found the right book.

Re-read. This is the series that got me back into reading for fun after college...little did I know what an avalanche it would become.

I devoured these first time I read them and I still enjoyed the strong female protagonist this time around. I can't wait to continue.
