I just finish reading this marvelous piece of art, I don’t usually go for fantasy books, but the plot on this one caught my attention. Im so glad I found it because I think is one of the best I’ve read this year.
The story is great, I love that every other chapter they release a plot twist or some kind of info that surprise you or change everything, it keeps the book entertaining and make you love the story even more.
I knew it was a trilogy and I was scared that the plot didn’t solve in this book, but thankfully there was a closure for the story and the ending was greaaaaaatttt . Even til the last moment they keep unveiling things <3
I definitely going to read the other ones.
Aside from all that: I was very entertained with the story and nothing was wrong with the writting and storytelling, I actually love all that, but I just didn’t give it 5 stars cause my ratting system is very specific on books that leave and impact on my life. BUUUT this FOR SURE is a 5 STARS READ!

the book itself is okay, but the ending fell really flat for me. I couldn't guess that that was happening, and it just made her sister look like a horrible person who didn`t care about Scarlett and almost everyone Scarlett interacted with in this book seem like an absolutely horrible person. I really like the majority of the books though.

omg i read the book a while ago in middle school and forgot the name. did anyone else think the way Scarlett talked about her sister was kinda backhanded and expected her to have a realization of "oh my sister is actually kind of capable and thoughtful, ive been disparaging her for a while..." or was it just me? i thought the way abuse was handled kind of weak, id rather it had been implied than shown onscreen. i also thought the romance was nice, just not particularly strong
