Nop. Nop. Nop. Nop. Nop.

I see good reviews about this book and I think because of that I expected too much about this, but when I read it... Also this is the book with the lowest rate that I ever read... Uhh...

This book was amazing! Brilliant writing, captivating plot, fantastic characters (also some characters whom I just could not stand) and so many tragic deaths! But I loved it and I completely understand the hype with this series now.

A full review will be coming soon.
