I like other SJM books better but this was still entertaining. I have a few issues with the pacing and the start is tough to get through. But I was still hooked!

Sarah J. Maas does it again. I'll admit...when I first started reading this, I wasn't truly paying attention. I put this down for a long time. A friend of mine then started talking about it again, and I thought "okay, maybe I need to give this another try." I'm so glad I did!

I will say...it's a LONG book, but it's so worth the read. You need to pay attention and really soak in the information and detail about the society you're in. You also need to know the characters. That was the hard part for me. I immediately loved Bryce and Danika...AND THEN! You'll just have to read it to find out more.

This book is a fantastic, keeps you guessing, and is so rewarding when you're finished. Maas is becoming one of my favorite authors for YA Fantasy right alongside Cassandra Clare!
