I’m still mad at her for a character she killed in a different series.

3.5/5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. The world was amazing and the world building was meticulous and perfect. The characters felt real and fleshed out and the conflict had me on edge the entire book. It was fun and entertaining. At some points it did drag and there were certain sections that I don’t think needed to be as long as they were. However, my biggest complaint is about Akos and Cyra. They were both great characters, however the book switched points of view between chapters and when it did this, it felt as if you were entering a new story. When it was being told from Cyra’s POV, it did not sound anything like Cyra did when it was being told from Amos’s POV. There was a massive disconnect and it was incredibly distracting. Akos did not act the same when it was his chapter versus when it was being told from Cyra’s POV and I couldn’t get past it. Characters should be stable, no matter who is talking about them.

- lite svår att komma in i + många olika namn
- tyckte inte om att ena perspektivet är i jag-form och den andra är med allvetande berättarröst men det blev bättre när man hade vant sig
- tyckte om character developmentet och själva världen som boken utspelar sig i
- också att det är en side-plot med romance men att det inte tar över och är i huvudfokus är bra

This book was good, but it was not really what I expected. I didn't really know what it was about, but I expected it to be good after reading Divergent. I expected it to be more dated, set in historical times rather than this amazing sci-fi world. The characters were very interesting and well rounded. I loved how they weren't perfect, especially Cyra and her struggle with pain. Akos and Cyra complemented each other perfectly, and I didn't feel like their romance was forced or overdone.

Nothing really stood out to me. It was dark, of course (Roth does like writing dark novels), had some romance, new ideas of myths. But it wasn't earthshaking "OMG I LOVE IT!!" It was just like "wow, that got dark."
