skconaghan 's review for:

The Ruined by Renée Ahdieh
3.5
adventurous dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Complete and utter sabotage of the expected YA romance arc. Kill everyone off and end with hate and bitterness and banishment and brokenness. 
Apt title.
