49/100 booksRead 100 books by Dec 31, 2024. You're 40 books behind schedule.
A special edition of this series is getting published soon so I decided to give it a try to see if I'd like to shell out the cash.
It was enjoyable! I liked the light worldbuilding and lore. The characters were very YA at times but their dedication and loyalties struck a chord in me. I'm a sucker for devoted characters <3
The writing wasn't anything special and it certainly had a YA vibe to it, however! It was compelling and accessible and a nice light read. I don't normally read books so quickly and it was personally refreshing to gobble this one up.
Without a doubt a guilty pleasure and I'm starting the sequel right away!

I was following along fairly well on my drives to work listening to the audiobook. To be honest, I didn't realize how attached I'd gotten to the characters until the book was over and I was itching to find out how it all turned out.
I must say the audiobook is VERY well read, it felt like a little movie in my head the whole time.

Went in knowing next to nothing, ended up absolutely gutted by the end. Not my typical type of fiction but I enjoyed it, especially the second half of the book.
