I'm not going to lie. The first book was great, I love it but the longer the story went on, the more bored I got. The plot line dragged when it could've been summed up in two, possibly three books. The only thing that blew my mind was the betrayal, which I did not expect at all. The ending definitely did not leave me satisfied and I wished we got a bit more content to tie it all up.

This series had a lot of tropes and a ton of angst. It is also similar to many other YA book that it's not that memorable. I almost forgot what the second and third books were about and had to skim through it since it took me so long to finish it. Overall, I don't know if I'd re-read it again. Maybe in the long run but as of now, I think I'm good.
