Maxon Schreave, the man that you are. I’ve read this book a dozen times, and the nostalgia thankfully overpowers how frustrating America and how little the world building makes very little sense.

I really liked the beginning and the progression of the relationship. I felt like it was weird that she wasn’t looking for her dad the whole book, so the twist still got me but made sense. I still don’t know if I believe that they would both want to kill her. The character development and plot felt too slow at some parts and way too fast at others.

It felt too slow at some parts and too quick at others. I hate and love how mysterious Whit is, and I definitely hate how naive Inez is (wtf is that ending am I right). But I like the premise and while I knew I couldn’t trust everyone at the beginning I’m glad I didn’t entirely predict the ending.

THISSSSS. This is what we want when we say fantasy romance. Omg. I could go on and on. The characters and the ways I’m now obsessed with like over 10 people? Impressive. The new, intriguing aspects to this world, signets, and relationships? Incredible. The tension? Immaculate. The way I got questions answered only to have a billion more? Thrilled. The ending? IM IN REBECCA. I loved loved loved it.

Starting the year with a bang. WOW. I was rightly afraid this book would make me cry in public. Wow. Love.

Confused but intrigued. I trust Sarah, but there’s too many questions.

It’s a shame how little character development occurred. Even though the end finallyyyyy took the twist I’ve been waiting for, it was a long time coming. I don’t understand how we’re supposed to like Theon at all as he offers her literally nothing, and I’m not here for the why choose so this one is it for me.

Melissa, your books are bad but I can’t deny they have a drug-like quality that makes me consume them at an insane rate. I didn’t know how I felt about this the whole time, and honestly the jury is still out.
