I started off this book being like this might be a DNF, I just thought it was too much love triangle for me.

However, I can't believe how much I enjoyed this. The plot progression was perfect, I liked and disliked characters when needed, and overall, I just had a good time. The number of times I flipped on who she should end up with was bananas!
The love, the hate, the plot twists, and the betrayals were just incredible. 

 And by the end, I can safely say I am so glad that I have the second book on my shelf and will be diving straight into it tomorrow!

I really loved this, it got me out of a slump and got me redone again! My mind switched between both MMCs the whole time - I didn’t know who i was rooting for! 

I think the story got confusing slightly, the family tree got slightly lost in the execution- so there were times i really had to think about it! 

But i loved Brie so much, the side characters also brought it together well 🧚‍♀️

I can't believe I finished this in a little under 7 hours. The book started out a little dull with the slow exposition that was more telling than showing. I was also apprehensive about its YA category (but Throne of Glass is considered YA too, right?)

However, Brie's situation sucked you in. Her love for her sister rivaled Hunger Games' Katniss. I thought Sebastian would end up like Gail, the boy she had a crush on who then went on his separate way. Then came the love triangle situation when Finn entered the story. Who would Brie end up with? It was hard to decide who to root for.

Someone said this book was like ACOTAR and I was left wondering who is Rhys and Tamlin in this situation. Well, the twist will shock you.

Spice scale (as defined by Mysterious Galaxy):
