This is more like. 2.2 stars but I have far worse books with 2 stars too.
Okay, so, I hate all of the characters. All of them. The whole book was so underwhelming. There was promise but Nieshka was JUST SO ANNOYING. AND OF COURSE SHE WOULD FALL FOR THE J E R K THAT MISTREATED HER FOR HALF A YEAR. DON'T EVEN BREATHE IN MY GENERAL DIRECTION
Aside from that, there were those awkward moments where Nieshka thinks about something - and then someone responds to her thoughts. It happened at least three times and it destroyed my reading experience immensely.
Also that fucking prince Marek. Fuck that guy. So at first he's a bad guy, then you're lead to think he's maybe not all that bad, then he's a bad guy again, then suddenly Nieshka calls him a king and shining and also pure like a child. His whole fucking character was striking me as DISGUSTING and I want nothing to do with it.
If you like idiot girls and jerks and EVIL WOODS THAT KILL THINGS FOR REASONS then by all means, have fun. Otherwise don't even bother.
