I didn’t know a moment of happiness reading this book. It was miserable and devastating, and yet absolutely phenomenal.
Samantha Shannon knows how to tell a story. I’m absolutely hooked - all I want is peace for Paige and she hasn’t had it once since this series started, and I doubt she’ll get even a moment of it until the end (hopefully by the end).
Dystopian is not my usual go-to, as I generally want a happy escape from reality, but I just love Samantha Shannon’s writing. Her characters are unique, the pacing is quick, and the build up leads to the highest stakes possible where you know no one is safe.
Also, the ending made me want to throw my book out the window. I can’t wait to pick up the next one.
