I WANTED TO LIKE THIS SO BAD...

i was genuinely into it in the beginning but as it went on i just became bored. i skimmed through a bunch of the ending because it dragged on. it was very repetitive as well.

mal seemed better that the darkling in this?? i've seen so many people say mal is horrible but i don't see it? ok the darkling seems hot as fuck and that one scene made me scream but it was just to get on alina's good side. anywho.. i'm not sure i'll read the rest of the series because i know i'll end up disappointed.

“All I can really say for sure is that I've never felt the mystery of the future so much: sense of the hourglass running out, fast-running fever of time. Forces unknown, unchosen, unwilled.”

I wasn't planning on giving this book five stars simply because of how long it took me to read it, but as I was thinking about it I realized just how good this book was. There is an insane amount of detail and it was incredibly well written. Despite the length of the book, it was enjoyable and the characters were so thought out that they felt real.

So I am once again thanking Donna Tartt

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

this book makes me love philosophy
