Pierce Brown's ability to keep you guessing is literally unmatched.
I swear, things I thought the entire books would be about happened and transformed into something absolutely outlandish within 50 pages. In a way that felt realistic and captivating.
(Throughout ALL THREE BOOKS!!!)
In a way that had me gasping and holding the book over my head in disbelief.
I usually do not read series, to the point I will avoid books at all cost when I find they are, or mourn when I find out after I read them.
(except..this series. genuine thank you to lexi aka newlynova)
Yet, Pierce Brown has me curious to see about reading past this trilogy, (to books 4-6) and give other series/authors a chance.
(Though, if any could do it in a manner they did, I would be baffled.)
THESE BOOKS ARE NOT OVERHYPED!!
