I actually,,,, didn’t mind this at all??? I expected to not like it but I actually quite enjoyed it,,,, Alina’s not as much of a pain in the ass as I expected and Genya and Mal are some 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 characters
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
Honestly I was contemplating giving it four stars then I realized it didn’t deserve it.
I felt the ending was kinda lackluster?? I understand that getting Alina to just stab the Darkling could possibly show that not all deaths are like massive and extravagant, but it felt weird. They’d spent three books trying and failing to kill the Darkling in wild, spectacular ways and in the end he dies from a stab wound? It didn’t feel right. Kind of like Tris in Divergent. It just felt... too easy. Too simple. Too normal for such a seemingly indestructible character such as the Darkling.

was advertised to me as a feminist retelling but didn't really pull that off so well in my humble opinion
Bird Box by Josh Malerman

Kind of a basic writing style which isn't really my thing. Also. Wasn't scary. I was under the impression that it was supposed to be a little bit scary
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

I don't think I would be ever able to write a review for this book that could do it justice so I will just say that this book has such an important message and people should be promoting more books like these
