marouli's review against another edition

3.0

I'm starting to get annoyed with Dimitri. Dead people should stay dead! Rose is playing with Adrian's feelings, every time Belakov ignores her she goes back to Adrian. Meanwhile Adrian is always there by her side. He deserves better.
I really hate the politics in this world, if I were a guardian and had to protect those royals I'd expect them to help as well, especially if the guardian's numbers were low. But instead of learning to fight and protect themselves they make 16 year olds with almost no training fight for them. They (the royals) deserve to die. Tatiana (I think that's how it's spelled??) is confusing me.. is she with or against Rose? Also if she's with Rose why does she have to behave so awfully to her?? Just to show guardians their place? I am absolutely furious with this injustice!

God damn, what is happening to this book series.

Spoiler

I have this tic that happens in a LOT of YA books, or naturally when someone tries to stay away from guy 1 but ends up stringing guy 2 along. Then when guy 1 returns, guy 2 is rejected. When guy 1 does not want girl, girl cozies up to guy 2. All the while, guy 2 knows what's going on, is upset, but takes what he can get.

Case point: that's exactly what happened in this book.

I really think the book series could have worked if while Dimitri was gone, she didn't date Adrian. I say it because I think that this ruined her 'strong' character. She's the same Rose but with this added obsession over Dimitri it's really turned me off her.

I've hit the end, let us hope the last book isn't as painful as the last two.
