I will say that the fifth book in the series I think there's something to be said about even if your writing style isn't beautiful but you still like pull people in and make them go like what are like oh and you can just make people annoyed or happy or frustrating stuff there's something to be said about that kind of writing too I think so the only complaint though is that this is a traditionally published book which means there's an entire team of people that are working to polish this and make it perfect and there were more typos than I've ever seen in a book in that fifth one

Liked

I'll admit that when I first started this book I wasn't really feeling it I liked the writing style the writing style is artistic but also not dense which i think is kind of a hard balance to have but I just the first like 200 pages I was I wasn't confused but obviously you don't know what's quiet going on because the character doesn't really know what's going on so you have a lot of questions and for a long time those questions aren't getting answered and even more questions are coming up and then somewhere around page 200 the story just completely turns around and becomes really unique and quite beautiful

Loved

The first 55 pages I believe make up all of Part one and it's honestly some of the most emotional it's some of the most emotional writing I've ever read. It's a very straightforward writing style there's not a lot of fluff it's not overly detailed it's very direct but it just was so tragic at the beginning and so the rest of the time you're just like you're steer just rooting for him to succeed

Mixed

I think that premise is so original and it's so cool and I did really enjoy the premise of it and I really enjoyed the way that the author took your typical fairy tale characters and fairy tale plot lines and kind of wove it into the story in a very original and new way but for me I wasn't the biggest fan of the writing style

Liked

Even though it is a young adult book it is not filled with a lot of teenage angst there isn't this ridiculous instant romance kind of thing in fact there isn't romance in this book which is kind of refreshing
