The pace and excitement of this book grabbed my attention and kept it the whole time! This book got me out of a long reading slump. Reading it a second time, there were a few things that I picked up on that didn't quite make sense, but not enough to pull me out of the experience.

Awal-awal cukup membosankan, tapi dari pertengahan sampai akhir lumayan seru. Mungkin kalau aku baca ini waktu SMA, bakal terobsesi banget, tapi pesonanya untukku sekarang itu kurang menarik, ditambah plot twistnya yang ketebak. Walau aku tak suka dengannya tapi aku bisa memaklumi

Spoiler

Mare yang mudah mempercayai Maven dengan mudah, dia hanya anak remaja yang tiba-tiba punya kekuatan super dan harus hidup sebagai orang lain, sendirian dan kesepian. Sedangkan Cal, posisi dia cukup sulit, dia baik tapi dia tetaplah Perak yang tumbuh untuk menjadi Raja Perak. Ketika dia digerakkan bagai boneka untuk membunuh ayahnya sendiri, sang Raja, itu sungguh kejam, dia pasti akan mengingat mimpi buruk itu selamanya. Tidak mengejutkan melihat dia tidak melawan sama sekali disandera oleh Farley.

Belum ada keinginan untuk baca buku selanjutnya, mungkin nanti.
