Insurgent was really nice actaully
i personally really like the idea behind the book but it probably could have been executed better. nevertheless, i enjoyed it when i read it which was like... 3 years ago?

Ah yes I actually tread insurgent faster than the other two- in two days which for me is rlly fast

It seems ‘smiles’ are going to haunt me forever.*flashbacks to The Betrothed*
List of word repetitions
(I have not marked everything while reading, as I was already far too annoyed and there are several words I missed. But I still tried...)

“You’re right,” I lie with a smile.
“I tell her with what I hope passes as a demure smile.”
“I paste a smile on my face as well.”
“Crescentia adds with a dimpled smile.”
“I give her a reassuring smile as Søren helps her off the ship.”
“I don my most innocent smile and link my arm through Erik’s.”
“Kaiser’s orders,” he says with a tight smile. “I’m sure he has his reasons.”
“He always does,” I reply, hoping my smile looks more natural than it feels.
“I force a high, false laugh, keeping my smile frozen and speaking in Astrean for extra measure.”
Elpis is bewildered. “Smile,” I tell her"
“I look up at the guard and give him my sweetest smile, though it doesn’t seem to do much good. His face remains frozen.”
“Søren grimaces, but his eyes are smiling”
“I tighten my smile so that it looks vaguely forced”
“All it takes are wide eyes, tentative smiles, and a wolf at my heels.”
