so i quite liked it i'm very excited because the sequel is coming out this year so this first book just came out the sequel will come out in a few months and i can't wait to get the conclusion to this duology
MARCH WRAP UP
it's strange because this is another one where i can't say i came away from it really feeling like i enjoyed it the same way that i enjoy a lot of my other fantasy books it very much felt like i was being taken on this tale and being told this mythology which she succeeded in doing what she set out to do it felt like a myth which was really cool but also i would say not exactly a fun read
for me as a result of it being so convoluted so purposefully confusing it did affect my enjoyment even though i appreciated so much what the author did
i definitely don't dislike the series the way my friends do but i also didn't love it like i loved once upon a broken heart
i almost dnf'd it multiple times because there is just a lot to take in and it took a while and on top of that some of our characters are pretty young and sometimes some of the characters are a little annoying so for a while i was like i don't know and then as it kept going i started to become more and more invested
it mentions evicted which is just the most remarkable non-fiction book if you haven't picked up evicted it is very eye-opening it's very alarming it's hard to read but it is an amazing work of nonfiction
the reason i'm torn is because while i had a lot of fun with this book it was a great time it moved very quickly i also don't feel a really strong connection to the book
i did enjoy the writing a lot in this book it's not my favorite of ve schwab's that i've picked up as usual i think v schwab has really interesting ideas and this is a time when i think the idea and the atmosphere were really the things that were shining the most
it's more of an awareness kind of a book it's here are these things that i think we need to focus on here's why we need to focus on them and then here are other things that if you want that information here's where you can go to get more information about each of these points
he just wants to be brave and it's so cute and it's so silly and the artwork is really beautiful so it made me happy
i picked it up after reading little thieves by the same author which i really enjoyed
i read once upon a broken heart and i adored that book it was just so much fun and it was cute and it was charming and it was cheeky and it did not take itself too seriously and it sort of made fun of itself
it's the kind of book that i will definitely have to probably reread at some point and then i want to come back to and revisit and i really loved it though and i just think that so many of us have no idea have no idea how all this works i found it so interesting
i'm actually quite bummed about this i didn't get very far into it at all it's just pretty quickly i was like i don't i don't know this isn't really connecting with me so i can't give too many in-depth thoughts about it
with young elites i have enjoyed everything that i have picked up by marie lu so i picked up young elites and read this first one obviously and i will continue with this trilogy i think it might be one of my least favorites of hers thus far but i didn't dislike it
i really enjoyed the atmosphere that the author created i said in my other video talking about it my biggest thing though that made it so that it wasn't a favorite was i did feel like it relied on repetition at times
