I can't even fathom what it is about this book that makes it so extra ordinary. It's beautifully written in a way that the flow, the context, the plot, the characters just flew off the pages and created magic. I just have no words. This story telling is on a different level. My only regret is that I didn't stumble upon this gem earlier. ...more

It's based solely on fml limited perspective which was very frustrating. I think 2023 was the yr of frustrating fml. I feel that they are making them more stupid and nonsensical. She's a fighter and then she's not. She has so much arsenal she could use but she doesn't. She's mysterious and brave but she hides. The world building and timeline hop skips, u turns, and flips upside down. It's a bit chaotic. JLA does really draw you in the characters interactions and she knows how to move the plot and set the scene. Maybe the next book will make more sense. ...more

I'm so over 2020 so why can't we just fastforward and leave it way far behind. This book is solid. I'm a huge fan. There was things about Poppy that irritated me in the first book, but got over it pretty quickly with this one. She's an awesome character to sink into. I loved it. ...more
The only take away I have from this book is that it has echos of hunger games, twilight, court of thorn and roses and game of thrones. Idk if it makesThe only take away I have from this book is that it has echos of hunger games, twilight, court of thorn and roses and game of thrones. Idk if it makes any particular sense. I guess when I was reading it I tried to find some sort of familiar footing. There was a lot of nuances that I didn't particularly like with the heroine that didn't make sense till the very end. It's still a good book. I'm reading book 2 and can't wait for book 3....more

There's this one detail about our Hero I absolutely didn't like. I don't like that particular premise on any of the books I read. It pulled at my heartstrings which was the whole idea of it. She resolves it in the end but I still don't like it. I was still addicted to the world she weaved that I didn't care. I liked her writing style a lot, but I felt she needed to spend a little more time building the female characters. It was hard with the sisters, because somehow they all didn't have an overly distinct personalities that make them different. At times they all felt like one character to me. I can't wait for her next book. Her heroine seems to be someone who kicks ass....more
