Mesmerizing books with intriguing setting and unique characters. This book has a very well-written world with such beautiful characters. I mean even the philosophical meaning of this book shows so much depth and detail that you become emerged in this world. The question who really is a monster(and what it means to be good) is well-incorporated in the plot. Also the use of figurative language to portray meaning and significance in the story is so captivating. There’s so many quotes that I liked in this book(half the books is literally highlighted lol). The characters are so unique and well-written with flaws, interests, and personality. The reason I liked this books so much were how detailed and human(sometimes in-human) the characters were.
August’s desire/denial to be human, Kate’s desire to be her father’s daughter, but also be somewhere else and someone else, Flynn struggle with protecting his family, Ilsa being cracked but so human and yet monster, Leo’s control and coldness even towards his family, so many little details, Harker not being afraid to die to his daughter, his soul becoming a monster
. All of those conflicts, characteristic, relationships, details, interests, and morals were just so real and deep. The ending was so good too. It was just the perfect kind of ending.
