OWLs Magical Readathon 2020 Wrap Up [CC]

So this was a very interesting read and a hard read, and it wasn't particularly long either so if this sounds of any interest to you I definitely suggest that you pick it up because it's- it's not a huge commitment but you really do learn a lot. I ended up giving this one four stars.

All that being said though, this was a fantastic book. It almost moved me to tears at the end so I decided to give it four-and-a-half stars.

This is the companion novel to My Life Next Door, which I read last summer and really enjoyed. It was a hard-hitting contemporary. There was some really tough things dealt with.

I really felt that this book needed more to it to really give a satisfactory ending. I felt like Marie Lu was building up to this epic conclusion but there was so many different places that the characters needed to go on that journey that it felt kind of rushed in some spots and then other spots felt like they took too long.

This one, unfortunately, this was three stars and like a 'meh', like a very 'meh' three stars. Two stars was too cruel, like it wasn't that bad, but I don't- I can't quite articulate what it was, but I think there was just certain plot lines that she decided to write into this book, the direction that she decided to tell the story, I just wasn't really feeling it.
