This book was intense. I really loved that the characters were diverse. Read all the content warnings! I read this one and Iron Fist in 5 days total -- I was hooked!

Rebecca Yarros really sat down and wrote a book which includes every possible trope ever. Manic pixie dream girl, not like the other girls, i’m no longer attracted to my best friend but i am attracted to the guy who wants to kill me. You’ll find all these and more. Also the ending is just the hunger games: catching fire.

4.5

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I think the criticisms are valid but because I’m not a huge dystopian reader, I’m able to just enjoy the storyline. There was some romance but it’s not the main plotline. But I loved every minute of the story and it was very exciting!

I'd seen the hype for this book and finally got around to reading it.  I loved it and can't wait to read the second book, which is already out.  If you liked the Harry Potter Series, Hunger Games, etc., this is an adult version of the genre.  The sex scenes are graphic - no innuendo here!
