5 stars!!
This book absolutely blew me away! I bought this book when it first came out and was extremely intimidated buy it so it sat on my shelf for 2 years. A couple of weeks ago I saw that Jay kristoff is coming to a local bookstore near me TONIGHT! So my bookish friend and I decided to do a buddy read and attend the event!
Its taken us about a month and a half and thank goodness hoopla had the audiobook but I finished this book last night and literally experienced every emotion possible! I literally spent 3 hours fully absorbed in the last section of this story last night!
I understand the draw of liking an Anti-hero. I honestly didn't know what to expect from this book but I was fully absorbed in Gabriel's story's throughout this book. There was a lot of raw emotion behind his actions and the reader doesn't necessarily get the full story until the last part of the story. There are a lot of layers to this one and people may be portrayed a certain way but you truly see their intentions towards the end!
I cannot wait to see where this series goes with the second book because that ending was crazy!! I'm still shocked because you honestly never know who you can trust!
