Honestly to say I’m surprised is an understatement. But this book exceeded all of my expectations.
Going into it while in my twenties, I didn’t have a high hopes, I just wanted to read the books before the show was out. But I think this one might be one of my fav reads of the year if not all time.
It is a story that’s will grip you until you reach the last page and go directly into the next book. From humor to saddness to full packed action fights, it have it all.
And not mention that while some the plot twists were easy to predict, others did blow my mind.
Overall this was such a fun experience and I had blast reading this book. Cannot wait to continue the rest of the series.
( I didn’t give it a five star as you can see , and that’s because I felt some descriptions regarding some of the characters were a little bit …….. I don’t how to describe it honestly but maybe a little hurtful? Though I tried to keep in mind that this was a childern book written more than a decade ago and that how all the books were.
and not mention the lack of diversity in characters but with new adaptation I went ahead and imagined the new cast as the characters )
(P.s If anyone read all of this ….. thanks 😂 and please excuse any errors you might find 💀)
