... ¿cómo empezar?
- pospuse este libro por meses con el tal de leerlo en otoño, y me arrepiento, en parte porque no tiene tantas vibras otoñales y en parte porque es uno de los libros más adictivos que he leído hasta ahora.
- la prosa de Garber no puede describirse de otra manera que no sea mágica y fantástica : te unde en un mundo en el que todo sabe a colores y sabores que la mente humana no se atreve a perderse en, y al mismo tiempo, te permite avanzar rápido porque uno quiere seguir leyendo.
- Scarlett me pareció la mejor elección para el personaje principal y Julian, a pesar de ser el típico interés amoroso de una novela de fantasía, lo cual me molestaba a veces, terminó por encantarme ( me pareció que el romance sucedió muy rápido y que se agarraron mucha confianza en muy poco tiempo, pero no es algo que me fastidie ) ; ahora, Donatella es... definitivamente algo ( el 80% de sus menciones me la pasé odiándola, pero al final me causó indiferencia )
- sería un 5 estrellas si no fuera por Donatella o por el hecho de que la forma en la que todo se solucionó fue un poco nefasta, aunque todo tenía una explicación me hubiera gustado que Garber hubiera dejado cosas para resolver en el segundo libro, en vez de arreglar todo en dos párrafos.
- uno de mis libros favoritos de fantasía, me pregunto que voy a pensar acerca del resto de la trilogía.

The book kept me interested through to the end, but the drama was starting to get a little too over-the-top by the end.

Disappointed in this one, I wanted to love it like so many others have. But this was just one big nope for me. You know what I did love? The cover! It’s pretty and visually appealing and that’s part of why I read it.
The FMC is most ridiculously bland and boring character I’ve ever come across. She makes so many stupid decisions throughout the book. All about finding her sister and then chooses a man? Are we for real right now?! The whole plot of this story is being reunited with Tella and girly changes gears and goes after a man? WHY?! All to go back to her original plan 5 minutes later.
I got the vibes that this girl was underage based on her mannerisms and immaturity. The arranged marriage bit was icky, she comes across as teen at best. I did love how Julian called her ‘Crimson’ repeatedly, I got a chuckle out of that.
I’m still confused on how the balconies and floors and everything worked? I could not for the life of my visualize how that looks. Then there are tunnels? To the balconies? Honestly, I have no idea where the book was taking place, I was so confused. It started off as a house, then floors of floors of balconies, then it was a theatre, but then it’s also outside? Whatever it was, there was clearly a disconnect of setting the scene.
Additionally, why does everything need a colour explanation? I’m fairly certain colours were mentioned every 5th word. I don’t know guys, I was expecting a scavenger hunt, mystery, with some kind of cirque du soleil vibe. This was definitely not what I was expecting.
I’m really not sure how this became a trilogy. I don’t even care about the ‘cliffhanger’ in the epilogue, I do not give a single fluff about any of these characters or their story.
Safe to say I won’t read the next two books. I should have DNF’d this at 15% but I powered through thinking it would get better. It didn’t. Maybe I’m used to books that come with a slew of trigger warnings, but this was way too YA for me.
