I’m not aware if I’m the only one, but I’d rather gouge my eyes out just so I don’t have to read this book again. Personally, not my cup of tea. Although I must say that it had quite a decent plot twist, an easy narrative, and mildly interesting characters; it’s not something I’ll read again in the future.
For the sake of showing that I did enjoy certain parts, here is my favourite quotes/interactions:
“Sometimes I forget you have the legs of a child.”
“Better than the brain of one.”
“Dear family. I’m alive. Obviously.”
“My ignorance is becoming a theme.”
“You’re a lot like Maven,”
“You mean engaged to a stranger? We do have that in common.”
“I thought the Queenstrial girls would band together and kill her, but they didn’t, to my annoyance.”
