THIS IS NOT A ROAST!!!!!!
NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO HATE, DISOWN, OR OTHERWISE PUNISH ME BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A RANT REVIEW!!!!!!!
I'm giving it three stars okay???? So don't be mad. That's not even a bad rating.
That being said:
- this book was sososososo confusing, for, like, the first 15%, after which it was overwhelmingly obvious but took 300 pages to get to the revelations that had been pret-ty clear in a long term way
- STUPID UNNECESSARY ROMANCE THAT I HATE. SO MUCH. BLEH BLEH. Why do people ship this so hard???
However there were moments of very pretty writing, and ya gotta admire the badassery of these characters folks.
But this book and I just didn't click.
Bottom line: I AM SO SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO HATE ME PLEASE
------------
IF I DON'T LIKE THIS BOOK I WILL BE DISOWNED BY EVERYONE I LOVE.
also i've read the first 10% of this four times. excited to go in for attempt #5
anyway PLEASE LET ME LIKE THIS BOOK @READING GODS
