5th for Booktubeathon 2017 DOWN!
Some 3 books are just meh I didn't like it, but this is one where there are things I intensely liked and things that I just as intensely disliked.
The whole concept of this book was fascinating but when we finally started getting into the plot? Was so boring. Nothing was moving or happening and it felt like it just switched to a historical fiction book instead of a sci-fi. There were also lots of tropes including one of my least favorite ones, and it was VERY predictable, but I still ended up liking this book?
Even though the plot was not all there at first it really really came together in the end. I also liked how one trope I'm tired of seeing was really turned on it's head and made into something different. The characters and the concept of fate that was explored in this book were both so great. Even if the romance HEAVILY overshadowed the plot so so so many times. And even though I was annoyed at the once section that felt heavily like historical fiction, I still loved that world.
All in all, a really interesting book that has convinced me to at least carry on with the series.

You have a lot more patience than I did when I tried to read this book. I got less than sixty pages into it before giving up. I couldn't get into the writing, even though I've liked other books by this author. Her Spellcaster series was really good, but after two books of her Evernight series, I stopped reading it. Also, the fact that whole paragraphs were enclosed in parenthesis got on my nerves, and the main character was vaguely irritating. I guess it just wasn't for me(?).If you haven't read Claudia Grey's book Fateful, I highly recommend it. Werewolves on the Titanic, that's all I'll say.
