Meglio del primo libro, ma l'impressione è che sia stato diviso in tre qualcosa nato come un unico testo... Quindi ci sono un po' di riassuntini delle puntate precedenti aggiunti malamente. L'evoluzione dei personaggi prosegue senza sorprese, il canovaccio è lo stesso di mille altre storie. Ma l'autrice scrive davvero bene, ed una storia è bella anche per come viene raccontata, non importa se la conosci già. Continua ad essere Campanellino il mio personaggio preferito.

🌻 Review 🌻
Let op! Deze review bevat spoilers uit 'Wicked'.
Het boek 'Torn' is het tweede deel van de serie 'Wicked' geschreven door Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Ivy heeft een groot geheim, deze kan ze niet delen met Ren of wie dan ook. Zodra Ren het weet moet hij haar vermoorden. En de prins van de Anderewereld loopt ook nog eens rond....
Ook dit deel zit vol spanning en plottwists. Er gebeurde dingen die ik niet zag aankomen. Het eerste deel 'Wicked' was al top, deze is nog wat beter! Je wil blijven lezen, je wil echt weten hoe het afloopt. Stiekem hoop ik dat er een deel komt geschreven uit het perspectief van de prins.
'Torn' krijgt van mij 4,5 ster!

Ok so this was a let down and I feel like I am just getting at the point with this author that I really truly do have to stop reading all of her books because it’s all starting to have the same feel — the characters, the plot, dare I say the clichés.
I actually find myself far more interested in what’s going on with the fae prince than Ren and Ivy, which to be fair I’m typically more of a villain girl than the “let’s save the human race” guy.
And right when everything started to get kind of twisted and interesting, Ivy has the “one and only chance to escape” scenario and then the reunion ensues and honestly I’m just like *barf*.
And Ivy is becoming kind of obnoxious. Like girl — I get you went thru some shit and you have to get your head sorted but let’s not forget you’re an ass kicker? Maybe it’s her age. Her immaturity. Her inexperience. I honestly can’t put my finger on it, but she annoys me.
And Ren.
*side eye*
Get a grip home-skillet.
You abandoned your girl when she told you the most important thing and YEAH SURE I GET YOU NEEDED SPACE, but can we not pretend you absolutely got lured but Brenna or whatever-the-hell her name was because you def considered drowning yourself in another woman — I won’t believe otherwise. It wasn’t until you got caught that you realized wtf you’d done.
Ugh.
I don’t even have the energy to rant about this one anymore.
Two stars, fam.

Torn dragged on. There wasn't much plot to it. For some reason, I felt like Ivy and Ren lost some of their voices, or maybe they weren't that strong to begin with, but they didn't pop for me. Ivy has a lot of internal decisions to make; she goes back and forth on everything all the time.
Other than that, I enjoyed it. It didn't charm my socks off or anything, but I like it enough to read the last one.
