Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

4.0

---

I feel like less things happened in this book, but the actions that were present tore my heart to shreds. This book was so heartbreaking. And that ending... you can't just leave your readers to suffer like that! It is awful, the cruelty in this book is much more real than in the first one, giving it a more dark vibe which I kind of liked (and sick because of this). I need a little break after this one, I really want to know what will happen to Mare, but her way of thinking is like poison to my soul and there's so much one can take.

I'm not giving it 5 stars, because I feel there was something missing, the rescuing part of the book was a little bit boring and my mind was wandering quite a lot, more than when reading Red Queen and honestly, Mare is becoming the prisoner of her own mind, not being able to share her problems or just cry properly to ease her pain. And it really saddens me. I wish she was a little stronger or would let Kilorn help her, cause she was always saying he knows her best. It's sad that she doesn't let anyone help her.

All in all, I will continue reading the series, and I definitely say that it's one of my favorites so far, but I will surely take a healing brake, because I can't take this harshness for too long.
