so-soThis book was ok but not great. The writing was a bit ‘all over the place‘ . It didn‘t flow properly. I felt like the author just threw things in after writing a first draft! Like it was really rushed. The plot was good but the writing is going to stop me from reading books 2 and 3. Teenagers are really loving this author at the moment, which is a good thing. But this is not for me.
pickSo much better than I expected! I read much of the Shatter Me series and knew the author was excellent. I've had this book for a while and kept putting off reading it because I wasn't in the right mood to tackle such a large book. I started it yesterday, and finished today. Couldn't put it down! I neeed the next one. I wish I could go right into it. Ugh. So sad. Now I have to do things I put off yesterday when all I wanted to do was to read. 5⭐
pickThis is one of the most eloquent and beautifully written book I‘ve read this year. I love the atmosphere, the imagery, and our FMC, Alizeh. She is so strong and resilient, but kind and compassionate also. My only complaint had to do with the pacing- this is a sloooow burn. The ending was definitely unexpected, but I can‘t wait to see what happens next with these characters! 4.25/5 #whimsicalreadsbookclub
