"Do I dare disturb the universe?"

Hey guys, so I finished The Shadow Society (The Shadow Society #1) by Marie Rutkoski. It was a pretty quick and easy read, if I do say so myself, which I do. Ha, okay. The storyline was not difficult to sink in to. I liked how short most of the chapters were. I could seamlessly breeze through one chapter, then another, then another. Then without realizing it, I'm almost at the end of the story. I almost think I read this story too fast and didnt give myself enough time to really sink into the story and really feel for what was happening in this book. But maybe...eh, I dunno. Regardless,I did like this story for the most part. Especially the mystery behind who she was and that whole subplot. It was interesting to see how that part of the novel played out in the novel and influenced other elements of the novel. The plotline was nice and interesting enough for me. I mean, I liked experiencing this world and learning about this world with the MC. She was nice enough I suppose. It was a good storyline all together, just enough action and stuff. It was a good book. However, the one thing I disliked about this book was the romance. Alright, alright, I did like the main love interest in the beginning. But then he went whacko and I lost all respect and slight affection for him. No matter what he did for her after that, I was just like nope. He was dead to me. But apparently not for the MC. GAH. But then O appeared and I thought that was a potential yes. And then...*sighs* So yeah, the romance, not really a fan. SO, aside that, it was a good book about finding yourself and figuring out who you are and what you want. It was about the power of friendship and the power of loyalty. And about how everything is not always what it seems. There are illusions everywhere. And everything that you think you know, can be turned upside down in an instant. Ha, the MC learned this first hand. Alright, honestly, I dont really know what else to say about this book, other than it was a good and enjoyable read. As always, if you guys have any questions or comments, drop em below. Till next time. Bye
