Okay, so at first, I was having a difficult time getting into this novel, despite how popular it is on bookstagram. I found the writing to be tedious and kind of childish. At one point Armentrout even uses the word “freaking” to describe how irritated Poppy felt. That, along with other examples, just felt silly. However, the more I read, the more drawn I felt to Poppy and her story. Despite the writing style (of which I’m still not a fan), the story is really good. It’s high fantasy and action-packed with well-developed characters that are constantly shifting.
