راستش و بگم؟ نه! خوشحالم که موقعیت خریدش پیش نیومد. خیلی منتظر بودم که بخونمش و واقعاً ضدحال بدی بود. تازه به نظرم این کتاب از جلد بعد بهتر بود.
البته من کلاً از تروپ شانس دوباره و مثلث عشقی خوشم نمی‌آد.
در کل صرفاً دارم ادامه می‌دم که داستان تموم بشه و فکر نکنم بیشتر از جلد سوم پیش برم.
اولاش حس خوبی به کتاب نداشتم و آخراش با ورود اون یکی پسره خیلی حسم بدتر شد.
به نظرم بیشتر از ۲/۵ نمی‌تونم بدم و قطعاً پیشنهادش نمی‌کنم.
پ.ن: خواننده کتاب صوتیش واقعاً تو دیواره! خواستید بخونید چه ترجمه چه زبان اصلی خودتون بخونید به جرات می‌تونم بگم کتاب صوتی حتی تجربه بدتری رو براتون ایجاد می‌کنه!

I have read this book many, many times, which in all honesty is something that I’m slightly ashamed to say. I have read so many other amazing books, and yet this is one that I selfishly and guiltily find myself always coming back to. I have never found a better use of the term “guilty pleasure” than when reading this series over again. Does it have flaws? More than you could possibly could. The prose kinda sucks, America is one of the most whiny, annoying protagonists ever (although she isn’t as bad in this book, but gets much worse in the subsequent ones) and it seems to be about as thought out as the Great Gatsby paper that I wrote at 3 am my junior year of high school.

But man do I love it so.

It so bad but it is seriously so much fun, in a mindless sort of way. This most recent time around I’m reading it in the midst of a move and it is seriously the perfect way to turn your brain off for a few hours, which is why I can’t bring myself to give it a low rating. It brings me to much pure joy and pleasure to rate it poorly.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a break and doesn’t mind laughing at a book, rather than with it.

piekna podróż w czasie, dosłownie przeniosłam się do 2014 jak bylam obsessed z ta książka i ze względu na sentyment nie chce jej wystawiać żadnej oceny, BUT trochę mi nie pasowało ze relacja maxona i ami tak szybko się rozwijała, przez co wypada sztucznie. było tez trochę luk w fabule i mam wrażenie że cale uniwersum zostało srednio wykreowane (np. o chuj chodzi z rebeliantami XD, cała historia tego państwa jakas taka zagmatwana, wolałabym tez zeby więcej bylo o tym na jakiej zasadzie działają klasy). mimo to wkręciłam się przepotężnie i zaangażowałam się w historie maxona i ami. ogólnie zajebista rozrywke dostarczyło mi czytanie tej książki i juz zaczynam czytać kolejna część.

ta seria nadal ma specjalne miejsce w moim serduszku

Absolutely loved it.

original rating when i read it in 2014: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

new rating in 2025: ⭐️⭐️

america is annoying. that’s it. that’s the review.

the book would’ve been WAAAYYY better had aspen and america NOT BROKEN UP in the beginning.

their reunion would’ve been WAY MORE IMPACTFUL had they been separated bc of the circumstances instead of bc aspen was being an insecure incel.

i mean imagine???

that’d make sense that america would be torn between maxon and aspen bc she was STILL dating aspen and they hadn’t even broken up. they were still deeply in love. and then they met in the palace???

we, as the readers, would be torn too!!! just like america!!!

as it is tho, it’s simply dumb that she’s still hung up on aspen.

i wanted to give it 1 star but i’m giving it 2 stars bc of sentimental value. i read this book for the first time in middle school. and it reminded me of how much i loved it back then. how low my standards were.

i listened to the audiobook version on 2x speed for my keadlyn fic research material.

i’m getting exactly what i wanted tho. now i know the selection process way deeper and the map of the castle is way clearer in my head now.

time to listen to the elites!
