Picked this up again for the first time after almost 13 years and, well! I enjoyed it so much!
I remembered bits and pieces here and there but I absolutely adored rediscovering it all.
Rose is such a badass! She’s a strong, resilient main character. I love her friendship with Lissa, I love Christian and Lissa, I love Rose and Dimitri, I love the plot and the twists— when I think about it, I realize 13yo me had not fully grasped how GOOD this book actually is!
I didn’t expect to be powering through this SO fast and to be so invested again, yet here I am, ready to pick up book 2 asap.
Final rating: strong 4 stars, and only because I’m thinking it will just get better from there!
(And also because, A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL, REALLY DIMITRI? Again, 13yo had NO idea back in the days. *sigh*)
