I LOVED this book. The story is so interesting, and made me never want to stop reading. I kept routing for team, favorite characters, and always wanted more. This book really changed my perspective on fairy tales, and question if anyone is really good or evil


Re-read:

It's been about two years and I still loved this book. Unlike other trilogies with last books that aren't very strong, this book was long and not rushed but very well paced for me. It was a fantastic conclusion with fully fleshed out and planed scenes and a great blend of war with character dynamics and side plots. Chanani tied all loose threads and has such dystinct character voice and realism throughout the book. The characters were complex with what they appeared to be yet, with a flipped side behind the surface of what they appear to be.

Fantastic writing. I will be revisiting this world.

Obsahuje jeden malý spoiler ;)

A to jsem někde u půlky přemýšlela, jestli to neklesne na čtyři hvězdičky... prd. Prostě miluju, když pohádky končí jako pohádky. :3 Pár smrtí mi vehnalo slzy do očí, kdy jsem kroutila hlavou nad tím, jak je mohl autor prostě jen tak zabít. A stejně jsem se povětšinu času smála jak vyšinutá. Pohádka o Sofii a Agátě je jednoznačně jedna z těch, které budu někdy v budoucnu vykládat večer co večer pořád dokola. ♥

I AM STILL EMOTIONAL. This is so well-written I am in love. Definitely one of my favorite reads ever. I can't articulate how I feel yet but if I end up doing so, I will update this review.

The middle was kind of slow, but the beginning and end especially were excellent. Highly recommend.

I already enjoyed the first two books in this series immensely, but I think I might have enjoyed this one even more. I started reading this morning and I just had a lot of trouble quitting. I didn’t want to put my book away until I had finished, until I knew how the first leg of this story would end. And the ending was everything I had hoped it would be.

What I love about these books is how they question good and evil and what it means to be good and evil. Just like they question love, what love is and how powerful it can be and if it’s truly the only happy ending possible. And they also question what makes a girl and what makes a boy and all the other possible boxes we can put people into.

The result is an original tale of two girls finding their happy ending, their place in the world. When the entire world is trying to pit them against each other, they keep on fighting for a different ending, an ending where they can both be happy without having to kill the other. They are the true stars of this story and although I favour Agatha a little over Sophie, I care about both of them.

I also loved how in this book all the build up and elements from the previous books came together. Everything the girls learned and did. All the characters we heard about and got to meet already. They all come together for an epic finale where all storylines meet and find some sort of closure in their own way.

But, there’s also still a lot of story to tell and I can’t wait to dive into the next book in this series next week!
