I had high expectations for this book, since there was so much hype for it. However, this book is awful. The romance was terrible, the characters were pretty bland, the world felt very cliche, writing was mid and the plot sucked. If you’re…

Red Queen is one of my favorite books so far since it kept me hooked and even had some irony. There were frequent plot twists which I absolutely enjoyed. This book is about a world in which discrimination takes place and your place in the…

Since the day I finished this book I have deemed it my favorite fantasy book of all time. This book is the first of the series but in my opinion it is the best one. The story is of a dystopian society where people are split up by the color…

Great book to get into the fantasy genre! I usually struggle with fantasy a lot because there are lots of names/species/spells/locations/factions to remember, but the author does a good job of being clear. Would highly recommend if you…

I honestly loved this book I just wish that there wasn't as much manipulation as there was. I feel like Mare never had a real honest moment with someone for more than 1 sentence. I also wished she had more girl besties, but it is what it…

I like dystopian novels, even though nearly every one is recycled over and over. I didn't like the love square and constant petty girl hating though (don't even think there were any that really got along with the MC besides three), lol.
