The Hollow Heart by Marie Rutkoski
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley for giving me an e-arc of this book.
The midnight lie was one of my favourite reads of 2020 which made this be one of my most anticipated releases. I was really expecting it to be a 5-star read but in the end, it fell a bit short and I gave it only 4 stars. I really enjoyed this book and with this trilogy, I grew to love Marie's writing, will definitely be looking into her other books very soon. I really love the different POVS, and how they interchanged with each other, as it made it easy to follow the timeline. However, I really struggled to connect with Nirrin this time and, yes, I understand that it wouldn't make sense for her to be written in another way but oh did she pissed me off. I loved how we got to see more into Sid's life and relationships, how we found so much more of her personality through this book. I also really enjoyed the "narrated" parts on the third POV we got.
I enjoyed the end and liked how it was plotted but I felt that it was a bit rushed.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable read.
