I definitely like that the plot and romance are pretty balanced. I actually like Rose (Alex, but actually likeable), and the fact that this doesn't have the typical YA aversion to

killing off major characters in situations where it would realistically happen

that 4 out of 5 YA series seem to have.

The beginning of this one started out slow and it took me a while to actually get into the book, but the ending was magnificent! I absolutely love Rose. It wasn't until chapter 7 or 10-ish that I started to get into the book and eagerly waiting to see what happens next. I loved how Rose learned what it truly meant to get her molija. It was tragic how she received them, but it was amazing. Mead absolutely covered the whole, "it's not as great as it looks" thing perfectly. Although the development of Rose and Dmitri's relationship is slow and didn't really get any where, I'm happy to see that they went that extra inch.

I read this because my 13 yo daughter's book group read it and I wanted to see what it was about. I found the writing to be pretty good, with a couple of minor plot holes that probably only adult readers would see. For the most part, I liked the main character. Impulsive, but learning to control it. Standing up for herself and her friend, but admitting her mistakes. Fast paced, too.

[re-read for my Greatest Hits Bookshelf Tour 2017]
It's crystal clear to me that I've become extremely bitter toward Rose and these first six books in general, but I had more fun with this book than I did with the first book because Adrian Fucking Ivashkov is in it. He's honestly the main, withstanding reason I love these books at all so it's really great to be revisiting his story again. I honestly couldn't give less of a fuck about Rose and Dimitri, of course, so I'm basically just zoning out during their parts until Christian, Lissa, or Adrian are around. This is THEIR show, not Rose and Dimitri's because Rose and Dimitri's show makes me wanna barf.
