I did love the book! It got me hooked from the first chapter and I read it cover to cover in just a few days. There are two things that did bother me a little.

First off all I WISH the relationship between Violet and Xaden was more slow burn romance than sexual tension. I feel like they could have been such a power couple if there was a bigger focus on their true connection rather than how hot they find each other. I was also really excited when she started talking to Tairn, but as soon as Xaden and Violet got closer it seemed the bonding with Tairn got put on the back burner...

Another thing I didn't like was how important and exciting scenes just got skipped over... Some chapters end on an insane cliffhanger just to jump to the next day in the next chapter. And instead of letting us experience the action with Violet, there would basically be a recap of what happened.

Other than that though I loved it! I had a lot of fun and I would recommend it.

Wowowowow hunger games x divergent x game of thrones + steamy slow burn romance
I was laughing, squealing, swooning, gasping, and on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE TIME. The second I finished, I wished I could rewind my life a week to experience reading it for the first time again. The writing isn’t good, but the story makes up for that in my opinion.
It was so special to read a book with a bad-ass disabled character (I have a connective tissue disorder like Violet). And I think her disability makes the story so much more interesting, complex, and relatable than all the other dystopian-type novels with women main characters who are physically strong and clearly capable from the start.
Also, the romantic plot line is WOW. I wasn’t expecting it to get so sexually explicit, but I’m def not mad about it lol — just a heads up in case you aren’t into that.
