The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu

adventurous dark emotional mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

I definitely need to reread this book the properly form coherent thought because I think I was in the wrong state of mind while reading it. I found the writing magical, transportive, spectacular (insert more positive adjectives here), but I couldn't wrap my head around the fairytale world, and how it interacts with the real world. Anyways, I loved the vibes, but I didn't understand the plot/setting. The rating will likely be boosted following my reread of this story  - whenever I get to it. Hopefully, my reading comprehension mode will be activated on my reread, so I'll be able to rave about this book like everyone else is... Also, credits to David Curtis (the cover artist), and Kristie Radwilowicz (the cover designer); this cover is a masterpiece^^
