Fyfan va sorglig. Jag älskar Adena hon förtjänade inte alls ett sånt slut och speciellt inte i första boken. Grät. Tyckte om Mak också men skulle vilja se mer av honom för att få en bättre uppfattning. Väldigt fin bok och så sorgligt att hon inte hann säga till pae om Mak och att deras historia blev så kort.

Började också läsa den 24/12 igen från att vara på typ sida 30/40

UGH LAUREN ROBERTS I FRICKING SOBBED ON THE BUS TO UNI

I knew Adena was dead, and I knew this book was just a novella about the life of Adena after Paedyn was selected for the godforsaken Trials up until Adena's death in the last of those horrendous things. But GOODNESS DID I NOT EXPECT TO HURT SO BAD. I'm so upset at the fact that Makoto will forever think that anyone who gets close to him DIES. UGH. LIKE??? 

SO FRICKING UPSETTING. anyways.

The only things stopping this from being a 5-star is the entire buildup to Adena and Makoto's relationship. I literally thought he hated her with so much adamancy that his being physically close and making comments about her beauty and how he's so obsessed with her got me scared in the beginning. Makoto also reminded me a lot of Kai; I felt he needed more character. Their banter was too familiar and too similar. 

Anyways. Point being. I sobbed. AND THE WAY THE BOOK ENDED. HELLOO???

I was excited to get more about Adena and what happened to her but this was a big letdown.
I knew what was coming the whole time and it just made me sad. Also the fact that we still got no reason other than the King hated Paedyn is upsetting but not surprising.

Even knowing how it would end, this was gut wrenching. Have Kleenex handy for the last 20 minutes or so.
