I'll admit that this book has a slow start. My friend and I wanted to read this book alongside each other so we could talk about it as we read. However, she could hardly get as far as the sixth chapter without me raving about how amazing the fifteenth chapter was.
It seems a little boring, however it was not to me. This book hooked me almost right away and kept me reading. I tried to wait for my friend to catch up with me but she gave up. That is a-okay.
Don't push yourself to read something if it doesn't interest you.
Although... if you fall in love with it, then keep going! Its totally worth it!
I can say that this book is one that only a select few people can get as hooked as I was and keep going. As I said a few seconds ago, it is very slow.
For some reason, don't ask me why, the thing that kept me reading was the first death in the book. This is the second trilogy that I've read that has started off with a death very early on - like within the first two chapters - and I mostly kept reading because I wanted to know what happened. I'm not going to tell you and spoil anything about who it was or what happened, but it was kind of awesome.
Do not judge! I was not yet emotionally attached to any characters when this death occurred so everything was fine.
I think that if you have a weird death in a book that is very unexplained at the time it happens, it's very awesome. Because you know you're going to find out later how it happened and that's one of the best parts.
I'd also like to say that Maya and Raffe are a new OTP of mine. I don't care what anyone else has to say on the subject. I ship it. Don't spoil me if you've read the other two books. I still have not and I'm going to very soon.
If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.
Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
