The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
2.0



I'm annoyed. Mainly because I loved 95% of this book. The first bit of this book was amazing. It was both action packed and fast paced. I loved the characters, I was intrigued by the concept, I enjoyed the world. And then came the ending. I really dislike the way this book finished. Throughout this whole book, we watch the lead female develop into a strong, confident and INTELLIGENT women who won't conform to orders given to men. Yet when the ending comes, we watch her make the most UNINTELLIGENT decision ever. I'm annoyed because this book was probably going to be a 5 star read. Another thing I think the author could've done better is the world-building. I think more of the book should've been focused on describing the world and the ways things work. If this was done, I think this book would've been raised to a whole new level.
