didn't really love this, but I might still read the sequel to pass time. it wasn't terrible and I do enjoy retellings, it just wasn't a favorite.

I have been in a very long reading slump and every book I read after has been mediocre at best. However this book reminded me how much I love stories and books. It was the first book in a really long time to ignite that feeling in me. It was so well written, in a way that felt mystical magical and devastating. I loved loved loved it so much.

DID NOT FINISH: 60%

Meyer has never let me down….. before today. I guess there’s a first for everything. 

Read through this in one day! I could not put it down. The writing style simple and easy to read, albeit overly dramatic at times. Hard to know if it YA or a sneaky adult slasher horror under the guise of YA.

SPOILER
If vampires can have children, I guess so can ghosts I guess?

honestly phenomenal like what

I hate hate hate pregnancy in books so much that when I found out the mc gets knocked up i literally didn’t pick up this book for 4 months 🤣🤣🤣 my goat Marissa still pulled it together but 😐

OBSESSED. Magical red head ✅. Cute romance✅. Intriguing problem✅. Magical, whimsical writing✅. I think Marissa Meyer is my favorite author.
medium-paced

Un cuento de hadas pero con un lenguaje más actual.

Me ha gustado mucho, es cierto que a ratos daba la sensación que la historia no avanzaba y el ritmo de la trama ha sido irregular (acelerado al principio y al final y muy calmado entre medias), aún así he disfrutado mucho la trama y la pluma de la autora, sin duda me leeré más de ella siendo retellings de mis cuentos favoritos ❤️
