Our Dark Duet by V.E. Schwab
3.0

This book was unexpected.

I don't even know where to start. All the characters, I grew to love are gone and still the situation of the city is not even close to normal. The countless acts of violence destroyed this book's chance at 5 stars. Somehow I wasn't expecting so much death, I mean I read so many of Cassandra Clare's books and there is so much death in them too, but in this book it was different, it was ruthless and somehow without a reason. I feel like I loved the characters and the main idea of the plot but the execution was too evil. It took me so long to read this book, because I always shuddered when I thought about it and what was waiting for me. I don't really recommend these books, only if you are resilient and aren't easily affected by thousands of deaths described in great detail.
