it started really good then got bad i am really disapointed honestly also you can tell that this book was written in 2011 there are some problematic things and it has the usual ya fantasy tropes (tbh if it wasn't for the that cliffhanger in the end i wouldn't read the rest of the series and have given this book 2 stars i think)

I only picked up this boon for two reasons, 1.) the cover looked cool, and 2.) my husband’s (and now my) last name is Dyer.

I went in not knowing anything about the book, and I really enjoyed it. I think it was a fun book to read and I like that Mara is a sort of unreliable narrator. I liked it and will definitely read the rest of the series.

i enjoyed this book. it wasn’t what i expected. the plot was a loose hanging thread and the characters have severe cases of latent misogyny but it was a fun read. i think it barely passes the Bechdel test tho. also the main love interest is possessive and weird in a way that only Harry Styles wattpad fan fiction readers can enjoy but hey, it was written in 2011. also the whole portrayal of mental health was kinda sucky. but the symptoms for the most part were kind of accurate!
