This was amazing! At first I didn't think I would like it so much but it got better and better all the way to the end. I have already ordered the next one and its very rare for me to read a whole series.

Recommended for everyone! ...more

First real fantasy I have read, and oh my god I couldn’t put it down. No, it isn’t the romance that booktok made it out to be, but the twists and turns, and the subtle connection between characters was enough.

IIIIIII don't really feel any kind of way for this book.

I know people seem to love it or hate it. I feel...nothing.

The first 2/3s of this book were hot air.

Honestly I was wondering if I should give it one star or zero. The only things I liked was prologue and two or three ending chapters. I know everyone is loving this and saying how amazing it is but.. for me this was the biggest dissapoiment. I bought this book thinking it seems really good by the plot but this is probably one of the worst books I've ever read. I couldn't finish it, I had so many breaks it even gave me reluctance to read any books. ...more

i read it because everyone was hyping it so much and this was the worst decision of my entire life. i read it in two days because i can't leave a book unfinished and i wanted to end my own suffering. i liked the ending because the book was done. ...more
