Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
3.0
OK so this book was quite confusing. I never really got used to the magic system/word because it was always adding new things. (The cryptic clues did not help either.)Its hard because we only had 346 pages to learn 900 years of folklare. I was constantly trying to keep up and it was like a chore reading this book.
I did like the main characters Nyxe and Ignifex (shade not so much), and I really tried to enjoy this book, but the story was just too confusing. The ending was especially confusing and even a little sloppy. It felt like she wrote the book and then 2 months later she finished it but forgot what she wrote before. In conclusion, I think this book had some really good points but it was very intricate and needed more clarification.
