I couldn't take The Darkling seriously bro his name is THE DARKLING LMAOOOO

But this wasn't bad, I didn't love it but didn't hate it. I don't think Alina is a super great protagonist and I don't particularly love any characters but Genya to be honest. I am going to read the whole trilogy because I have faith. We'll see!

I continue to not understand why people dislike this book so much. I had so much fun reading it and I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

I didn't want to put it down at all. I felt so immersed into the world that at times I genuinely felt like I was there.

The only reason it's not a 5 star is because I didn't feel like anything in the plot was surprising. Of course I was very happy when I guessed the plot twist but I shouldn't have been able to guess everything that was going to take place throughout the book. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it was a little too predictable for my tastes. Even when I was actively trying not to guess where it was going to go.

Thankfully, predictablility doesn't mean I can't thoroughly enjoy a story.

The plot twist caught me off guard and I'm so mad cuz it was kinda obvious. Some parts felt rushed, like the author would throw some scenes without any background and then magically explain why they happened. All in all, it was a great way to start the year and I want to continue reading the trilogy.

The amount of different emotions I experienced reading this silly lil children's book is astounding. Like tell me why I was on the brink of tears when Alina and Mal were in the dungeon? Tell me why I nearly threw the book when the Darkling started his shenanigans? Tell me why my jaw hit the floor when Genya warned Alina to be careful of powerful men?

I genuinely don't think I can give a real review of this book because I am simply experiencing every emotion listed in the English dictionary. All that I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I cannot wait to pick up the next one. I'm actually so upset that I got a job in the middle of reading this so I couldn't finish it sooner.
