Bloodydamn that was a ride. If Pierce Brown does anything well, it's giving me whiplash. I still cannot predict where these books are gonna go.

I was warned going into this that I was going to cry. I have a heart of stone, there were no tears. But I had to have a little pause at certain points here.

This book wasn't perfect to me, and I think trying to read it while suffering with flu was a bad idea - this book is pretty dark and hopeless in places and it may not be the best read for a January either.

But I did love it, while there were some minor issues for me again (mostly the writing style, sometimes I find it flows other times not), the plot and the character development was spot on. I don't want to say too much because this is one book that would be totally ruined by spoilers. But it's really, really worth checking this series out. I'm going to have a break now before I start the next set of books but I can't wait to come back to this world and see where Brown takes it next.
