Took a bit to get into for me, but this was a great read and it was just so cute.

There were parts where I was confused at, but it didn't deter me from rating this at 5 stars as I wouldn't mind re-reading. The ending and how everything connected was well done. Again will definitely re-read.

I didn't like any of the characters and I'm not sure in the ending
it was revealed to the public that Tom was the one that killed Megan


Switching of POVs was interesting and confusing sometimes. 
Candide by Voltaire

3.0

Only read Candide and not the other sections that is in the Backgrounds and Criticisms

In the version I had, read 81 pages and the ending was honestly disappointing/unsatisfactory, but I can see how peaceful it is compared to what the characters had gone through. Didn't understand a lot of the philosophical stuff. Story was alright - there were some funny parts.
Candide kept on getting scammed bruh and he literally didn't even want to marry Cunegonde anymore bc she became ugly?? The whole time he wanted to marry her and when he was given the chance he didn't want to anymore. But he still married her bc her brother refused it 😭 and then what they did to her brother like dang - I'm honestly dead

Not really sure what I was getting myself into other than girl with powers seeks revenge. 

Book turned out to be a much easier read than The Shining. Having chapters would have been easier for me imo to keep pace instead of stopping before/after an article or excerpt or a line break.

Ending was okay -
bruh he tied it back to periods bc of how the first chapter started 💀

4.5

liked and didn't like the pacing at the same time - but plot was engaging and reading the
scene where Levana died was satisfying but found it stupid that cinder didn't keep her guard up and got stabbed in the heart as a consequence which was deserved bc bruh it's Levana ._.


The relationship with Jacin and Winter was much better than the previous two books and I liked their dynamic.

Anyway I love Winter (character) so much and I liked how things ended. :)

Could not get into the writing style. The plot was okay but the way she went about it was not enough to pull me into reading it more. Gave it pg. 82 pgs and that was all.

There's also a romance where she has to choose between two guys and bruh with this going on for 29 books that's the slowest slow burn and who will she choose ever 💀

This was an emotional, beautiful, and difficult read that made me cry and tear up many times.  

It's not for everyone. The literary prose and writing can be confusing along with his themes that are difficult to get through at times. 

Content warnings may not include all that is in the book and tags shown may be in both graphic or moderate as I didn't keep track.
