Dit boek breekt gewoon mijn ziel door midden. Zoveel tragedie, zoveel woede en angst bij alle karakters. Kuang laat duidelijk de echte en soms onduidelijke kanten van oorlogen zien. Niets is zwart-wit, manipulatie speelt zo'n grote rol. 

De laatste scènes broken mijn hart.

Het moment dat Rin de rest van de cike verloor en de laatste mensen verloor die haar konden begrijpen was ongelooflijk sneu.

Het boek was soms een beetje traag en inkomen duurde even, maar het verhaal en de schrijfstijl waren schitterend. Ik kon alles precies voor me zien. Zonder twijfel een 4.5. 

(Ben benieuwd hoeveel emotionele schade boek 3 aanbrengt)

Dit is pas een finale. Elke pagina was boeiend en de spanning zat tegen het dak aan. SJM heeft een talent voor sassy characters en het is geweldig.

De cross overs met acotar waren perfect en ik be4n achteraf blij dat het niet een grote multiverse crossover is geworden.

I'm normally not a romance reader, I cringe a lot at most of the romance books I've read. However, I ate this shit up.  Finally a strong, non-whiny fmc in a romance book, she gave black cat vibes. The setting and some of the characters made me think of Gilmore Girls. Charlie was a bit like Jess, Libby made me think of Sookie. The small town I pictured was like Stars Hollow, even the bickering at the town meeting. Amazing! And the ending was so beautiful and perfect, tears were streaming down my face. I liked this book quite a lot. At the end, there are some scenes and jokes, that refer to the beginning of the book and I liked the full circle moment that those scenes created. Deserved 4.5 stars. 

The ending with Libby working at the shop so that Charlie could go back was very predictable. And could've been done earlier, but I get the dramatic effect of the timing.

Finally a book that took me out of my 6 month reading slump. I really liked this book, Schwab is my favorite write so it felt like coming home. It has everything I need in a good book: dynamic characters, unique world setting and good writing. 4.5 stars for me!

A bit to Jane Austen like for my taste. Quite boring and predictable. And somethings just felt very wrong.
