It was definitely something! I went through the emotions going through it,

I think that death at the end was rushed but it was still shocking.

I was not at all prepared to feel as much as I did while reading this book. Truth be told, I almost stopped reading halfway through after putting it down for a few days too long. However I was determined to give it another chance and was immediately glad I did. I was not expecting that plot twist at the end of the book though and I cried more than I expected to during this book. Why did nobody tell me?

 This is the second book I have ever read to make me cry!

It sets you up to root for Jameson and Silas grew on me.

I’ve determined if a man doesn’t look at me and treat me the way Silas treated Hollis I DONT WANT IT!

I want vengeance for that boy and his family! I’m tempted to re-read it to appreciate all the moments I had with Silas appropriately. I feel Silas knew the Knights were on their way the second she told him the queen lost her third child. I didn’t realize it until I looked back.

My heart is broken. Thank you Kiera Cass for a beautiful book and I’ll be on the edge of my computer screen waiting to preorder the next book.

Not a good book. Kiera Cass seems to solely rely on her covers selling her books, cause her writing sure ain't doing it.

A majority of the plot points come out of nowhere and are poorly developed, characters are unlikable and seitch personalities on a dime. 

I've read better unedited alpha/beta straight fanfics on Wattpad.

Do I dare read the sequel so Cass can disappoint me one more time?
