My Thoughts
Honestly I did not have high expectations for this book.
This book was getting so much hype on Booktube and amongst the blogs that I
follow. After the letdown that was The Darkest Part of the Forest, I was not
expecting to be so captivated by this novel. This book is similar to many books on the
market now and while I found it to be predictable, I still really enjoyed this
read.
My only issue with this book is that
Mare is very naïve. I had mentioned before that this book was very predictable,
well apparently for our main character it was not. Overall, I cannot wait to
see what is up next in this trilogy. Remember - ”Anyone can betray anyone.”
Overall Rating: 4 Stars
