The Lost Sisters by Holly Black
4.0
I both love and hate this story.
I love it because in a lot of ways, I really relate to Taryn. She wanted her happy ending and she was too consumed with that ideal to realize what it would cost her…what it was costing her. She betrayed the ones she loved for a chance at happiness, and while it’s an unpopular opinion, I understand why she would do that.
I also hate this story because it’s painful to watch Taryn justify her actions. She was horrid and awful, but really, I think she just exemplifies some of the most complicated parts about being human.
And whether we like that or hate that, I think we owe it to characters like Taryn to try.
