This one started out really slow, but I couldn't put it down once I reached the last third of the book. The ending is worth it. I also liked that it was very well written for a YA novel, and while the love interests were a bit cheesy at times, they were not too cliche and didn't take away from the overall story. I can’t wait to read the other books in the series.

I've put off reading this book for quite a while because I've read some quite mixed reviews and especially because some reviews described it as being quite slow in terms of plot progression. But now I'm wondering why I didn't read it sooner, because I loved it.

It isn't a five star read because I just didn't quite have that feeling that I get when I absolutely can't get enough of a book, but I can't wait to read the next book to see where the story goes.

I will admit that I guessed quite a big part of the ending, but the way it was done still left me sat in my bedroom after finishing the book saying "Okay, okay," over and over again.

I liked this a lot. I thought the writing style would be offputting, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I can see why some readers would be bored, but I care more about characters than plot so I didn't mind the relatively slow pace. The worldbuilding is fairly unique, and while some elements were predictable, the end still managed to take me by surprise.

Wow oh wow! I read this book in less than two days, which is just a testament in how fast paced the story was.

The story followed three sisters, all with supposedly three distinct gifts, they are all destined to fight for the death and one to become queen.

I loved that the author chose to follow these three sisters separately, included their worlds and included their own set of friends.

I thought that the supporting characters were at times far more fascinating as character than the main girls. For example Jules, Elizabeth and Natalia.

I loved the slow build towards the main event, though three chapters before the author sped through so fast it was like a steam role.

The ending cliff hanger was very interesting. Though there was absolutely no Easter eggs to validate it.

My favorite sister was Mira, which might be different from everyone else opinion for obvious reasons. I just loved how consistent she was for majority of the book.

In the end I gave the book 4 out of 5! Great use of character build and world. Lacking in imagery and logic.
