I loved this and I’m not afraid to say that I enjoyed every frickin page. There is a huge difference between this book and the original trilogy but for me it just works. I got so invested and boy I don’t think I’ve ever hated the main character so much but it’s also a book that made me think and I love that. Brilliant.
