I liked this bool a lot, the whole concept of the series is very interesting and this was a very refreshing retelling of snow white! I adore fairytale retellings! Loved the cover!
Throughout the book I thought that Kol (at one point or another) would turn on Lorelai because I read the summary wrong (oops), so at the end I felt like "Whoa, hold on, how did that happen if Kol was suppose to be bad throughout", so I reread the synopsis and BOOM! it hit me, I read it wrong. I was kind of glad I did though because then I was a little shocked at the end.
I am on page 335 so I'm almost done and so far I actually really disappointed with it. I feel like the story isn't put together that well and that Kol and Lorelai relationship is just off:(
I had some issues with the plot as well, mainly I think it could've been better developed because I felt everything was kind of rushed,but overall I enjoyed it. I wanted more about Draconi's society as well and more on Kol's friends. We got almost nothing on their background and their relationship with Kol. Holly,when I posted that I had just read the part were Leo dies and I was freaking out because it was only like chapter 5 and people were already dying. I still can't forgive CJ Redwine for killing one of the best characters in the book and who added the most dynamic in Lorelai's group, ugh.
