OOOOHHHHMYGODDDDDD!!! I was GLUED too this series. I saw someone say that this eries is like junk food: you know its not good, but you can’t stop indulging, and that hit the nail on the head for me. I enjoyed this so much! I do wish there was more resolve with the rebels, but everything about this series had me flying through it. Not sure I’ll continue the sequel series (im afraid i wont like it as much) but god I KNOW im going to have a book hangover from this series. Its not groundbreaking literature, but I had a ton of fun, so its 5 stars for me!

Whewww I am eating this series uuuuup! I did in fact read this in a day LMAO. The fact that I’m entertained when the same competition is going on over the course of several books is mind boggling to me, bc that hasnt been the case with pervious series’

Omggggg i loved this book! Despite hating her name, i loved the main character and didnt find her insufferable (rare). I am def going to continue this series, but i just hope the next book isnt too love triangle heavy 😭

This was good for a YA dystopian. I think the same me that ate up PJO would’ve loved this, esp bc it has pieces that went missing from history.

This book was cringey at alot of points but the plot itself was great. Also, the way it is written and the premise of the book make it go by fast, so this was a quick read for me. I was tense the whole time LOL
This book just made me want to reread If We Were Villains tbh. It was wayyyy too long for me. I decided to DNF after i got to the climax and realized i couldnt care less about how things unfold.

This book was super cute and a perfect spooky season palette cleanser! Also the love interest is Welsh so that DEFINITELY helped.

You guys. I’m speechless. This book was SO INCREDIBLE. I can’t even put it into words. The best I can do is that EVERY facet of this book is 5 stars—from the plot, to the plot twists, to the romance, to the setting. Not to mention a beautiful execution of the found family trope with a very diverse set of characters that I’ve grown attached to. This series is a pillar of YA Fantasy that most books WISH it could be. I’m still in awe, and will probably continue to be. I honestly think this will be the best series I’ve read all year, and we still have 2.5 more months to go.
If you are debating to read this book or not, I implore you—no, I BEG you to read it. If you love YA Fantasy you will appreciate this book. PLEASE READ IT NOWWWWW

This book was goooooooood yall! A perfect thriller that keeps you guessing, but isn’t too outlandish with the twists. I read this in a day because, even though it was a good thriller, there wasn’t too many moving parts so you could easily digest it. Just goes to show that you don’t need extreme measures or a crazy confusing premise to have a good thriller.
