I love Marissa Meyer’s writing and stories. This world was super interesting and I was drawn in very quickly. The only thing that frustrated me was how naive the main character was. A lot of things could’ve been avoided if she just thought how things would work out in the long term. Obviously it could be attributed to her being 18, but still 😭 she even said how she knew the extent of what the king was capable of. I’ll read the second book because I want to know how everything works out, but I am very annoyed by Serilda and hope she uses her brain in the future. :) or perhaps everyone will be better off if she STOPS making decisions lol
