This book attempts to rewrite a lot of the violence and sexism that is excused in the books prior.

This was definitely not what I had expected of this books. I also didn't care for all the back stories and story wrap-ups. To me this was like a summary of the first book with a few little extras. Kinda boring if you already read the entire series.
emotional fast-paced

I have mixed feelings about Before, some chapters were really fun and gave me an other perspectiv but there were also chapters that i just skipped. I never really skipp parts of a book, but with this one it felt nessacary. I skipped most of the Before part, i didn't really care about all those characters and how they were before everything. The During part, was allot of fun, I haven't read after in a while and being rememberd trough hardins eyes was a fun way to see it. I did skimm trough the latest chapters, i found it to be a bit to much. My favorite part of the whole book are the After parts, seeing zed moving on, Christan and how his situation begin, Londen i really wanted a bit more of him, And of freaking course, Hessa moments. To see them grow up and having childeren and just living thier happy life made me smile. This series is so much fun if you don't take it too seriously. Knowing that the characters are over the topp, annoying and so dam frustrating makes it way better. I'm glad i read this series and i deffently can see myself rereading the books later on.

RATING: 3,0 (stay in the middle is always a good idea)
Rating overall series: 3.2 stars

Fedt at læse om mødet fra Hardins POV, men ville gerne have haft episoder som væddemålet osv. med. Nogle af de andre karakterers kapitler var okay, kunne godt lide Christian Vances, mens andre bare var lidt irriterende og ville hellere have haft mere Hessa. Synes bog 2 og 3 i serien er det bedste. Faldet og Lykken. Elsker Hardin og Tessa🖤

So disappointed!!

finally finished w these dreadful books

I enjoyed this book because I love these characters but I did feel that it was out of place and done maybe as an after thought. It also felt like a lot of stories were put into it but shouldn't have been. It had a lot of the characters back stories in it, mixed with Hardins POV of all the books, but really focused on the first and just skimmed through the rest. I think that she could have written short stories of the other POVs and left this one to be Hardins POV. But she shouldn't have focused so much on the first and just skimmed through the rest.
