I bought this book for the amazing cover art, and so, just like Jon Snow, I didn't know nothing about this story.

A story about friendship, love, loyalty, trust, respect and honor. Enemies can be friends and the people we trust may not be what we thought they were.

Nimona is such a strong character with amazing powers... I love her!

This was such an unexpected read! So good. So pure. Perfect!

2.5

Nimona is selfish and cruel, she needs to go to therapy and stop using her trauma as an excuse to traumatize others! She literally MURDERS innocent people, she's not badass she's a coldhearted narcissistic killer who only cares about herself, she literally commits

MASS FUCKING GENOCIDE

she's awful to people who care about her and constantly complains about how she's all alone when she's the one who constantly lies, pushes everyone away and treats them like crap, like what did she expect to happen?

and Blackheart is an idiot,

why did he let himself get captured? did it not occur to him that Nimona would try and save him (therefore also getting captured)? and did he seriously think telling people about her only weakness is not going to come across as betrayal??

really don't understand the hype about this book.
