O______O
WHAT DID I JUST TAKE PART IN.
High Lights
- The setting is SO. BEAUTIFUL. I mean, Blackcliff is horrible and all, but it's SUCH a cool setting!
- It was SO gripping! I couldn't stop turning pages! My poor Elias...
- ELIAS IS A PRECIOUS LITTLE THING AND I JUST. *cries and cries*
- Laia is so much like me, and so that added another level of relatable. She's scared, but loves her family, and would do anything for them.
- The Augurs. MIXED FEELINGS.
- THE COMMANDANT MAY JUST BE THE WORST BEING ON THE ENTIRE PLANET. I hated her with a passion.
- Helene...oh dear, Helene...
- Marcus is loathsome. Which is very saddening, because I have a brother named Marcus, so... I actually have a main character named Markus too. Huh. Weird. Anyway, this Marcus is horrible.
- Spiro Teluman is a great guy.
-
Low Lights
- There was a lot of content in this book that I didn't like. There was a lot of swearing and suggestive sexual content (though nothing actually described). Surprisingly, there wasn't as much violence as I expected. (Well, except for this one scene...) So all that knocks off a star.
- But that's all I have to say about that.
Conclusion
WOW! This book was SO. AMAZINGLY. GOOD. I don't know if I'll continue the series, only for the inappropriate content, but OH MY GOODNESS, THIS WAS GOOD. I don't know if I could recommend it, but if you want to take a chance, GO FOR IT. The story is EPIC.
Moderate: Cursing, Sexual content, and Violence
