After more than a month of promising myself I’d finish it eventually, I have officially dnf-ed this book at about 31%.

I think the saddest thing is that I LOVED the first one, Red Queen was great. It got you invested into the world and the characters, and lord, I don’t even know what happened with this one. Maybe it had just been too long since I’d read Red Queen (like, October), or maybe it was just bad. I found myself not able to stand the main character, Mare, and even less so able to stand the other characters or her relationship with Cal. Everything just seemed so bland in comparison with the first, but who knows. Maybe I’ll end up looking up a synopsis of this one and giving the third a shot.

P.S. this book is a turd on my bookshelf
