I get it, I truly do get. I waivered very hard between 3 stars and 4 because I did enjoy the read! The last bit sucked me in and had me up til 3 am reading but I struggle a bit with “fragile” FMCs. It’s a bit overhyped but I did enjoy the journey. May read the next one but I haven’t decided yet.

LOVED IT.

It's a really good book and I loved it. I read it in a single day.
But what I found totally unnecessary was that they killed Liam (my Shayla 😭). Otherwise, everything was good. THE SPICY is fucking incredible. There are only like four chapters with scenes like this, but it seems like there are dozens. FUCK YOU DAIN AETOS, I hate you, comepinga!. You go through so many emotions at once: you get angry, you fall in love, you get sad, you get upset, you hate characters, you love others, you feel rage. So many emotions at once, I'm serious. Spoiler: you're going to fall in love with a dragon, yes, a fucking dragon. Here's the thing: either you love the book completely or you hate it with all your being.

I wasn’t into this one, and I don’t think the romantasy genre is necessarily for me. I found this boring and predictable, with really flat characters. I don’t know if the later books are better, but I could hardly get through this one, almost DNF. 

Devoured this book. So many things to say! I loved how Yarros used violets calming techniques early in the book to give us some backstory. The dragons are so sassy and I loved the friendship development in this book. This confirmed to me that I don’t like trials at the beginning of the book, because obviously the characters are going to make it to the end. Violet still doesn’t beat Celaena as a FMV, but she’s better than Feyre (my only other two comparisons rn). Violet feels very unsure and she’s not really a badass yet. I liked the modern writing style and didn’t read vulgar gesture once!! Big must read on this book!

adventurous slow-paced

5/5 stars

People who say they don’t like this book are the same ppl who say they don’t like pumpkin spice lattes. Like, It’s okay to like easy, fun and entertaining things. It’s okay to be like other girls. I promise. In fact, it’s sometimes more fun that way.
