Heyyy guysssss
So basically, I finished reading this book like a month ago, and then just...never reviewed it. (My schedule is literally pure insanity.) So we're doing it now!
This book is one of the most amazing things I have ever read. Marissa Meyer CANNOT write a bad story, it is IMPOSSIBLE. Catherine is a great character, she knows what she wants, and she is not going to settle until she gets it. She is willing to do anything to make her dream come true, and I respect that so much. She is an amazing protagonist. And her DETERIORATION at the end of the book is one of the BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HAD CHILLS. CHILLS. I LOVE THIS BOOK.
Jest...Jest is the best character. It's not even a question. From the very MOMENT this man jumped on the page, I was hopelessly in love, and it did not stop from there. He is literally the most perfect human being, the way guys only are in books. I don't think I've ever loved a love interest more than I love this man. He is literally perfection. AND THEY KILLED HIM. HE WAS PERFECT, AND THEY KILLED HIM. THEY JUST LOBBED OFF HIS HEAD. I'M STILL NOT OKAY. I HAVE BEEN SOBBING INTERNALLY FOR WEEKS.
Now, don't get me wrong, I WAS focused mainly on the romance, because....it's me, but I did like the Jabberwock plotline! It was fun, I love the mystery to it, ESPECIALLY with the reveal at the end, because it's SO SMART. I also love the character of the King, and it's hard to because of Catherine's aversion to him, but he is precious. I feel so bad for him, because he deserves to be with a girl who loves him.
I'm also (only slightly) peeved at the fact that they hype up the kiss between Catherine and Jest for the entire book, and then the actual scene is SO SHORT that you're left wanting. But that's my only very very slight criticism, because it's LITERALLY SO AMAZING. THIS BOOK DESERVES THE HYPE.
