I think maybe I like the Thunderhead more in this book. I will have to read the Toll because I need to know what happens next.

I listened to this book and I think that affected my rating. A lot of the book felt like “filler”. I didn’t know what the actual plot was until halfway through. Maybe I just missed it because I was listening while driving or doing chores and I wasn’t focused like I am when I physically read books. I am totally pissed at Jude and Cardan for not going further with this sadistic romance they have between them. Just one trist occurs... There are feelings but no one is doing anything to make anything actually happen! And then when you think it will, Cardan has to be an ass and do what he did at the end of the book! Their relationship is not healthy, lol. I’ll read the last book in the trilogy to find out what happens, but it better redeem this trilogy or I’ll be quite upset. I had such high hopes.

So I had to let this book marinate after finishing it and before writing a review... because it was SO GOOD!!! I just don’t know how to express it. I would have to stop reading and I would CRAVe this book! The characters were just amazing. They were well rounded, had relatable personalities and I fell in love with a Kady and Ezra And dare I say it... AIDAN TOO! I did suspect that AIDAN was “playing” Ezra starting exactly when he started pretending to be Ezra, but I kept second guessing myself. Then, when he made the image of her face, I knew it for sure! I am SO incredibly happy with the ending. I had shed quite a few tears of sadness through this whole book, and to shed a few happy tears during the Ezra/Kady reunion was so nice! AH, this is now one of my favorite books.

It took longer than it should have to finish listening to this book via Audible, but I had to put it on pause since I received a library book with only 10 days to read that. I enjoyed this book most of all from this trilogy. I appreciated the ending very much. All loose ends were tied up and it was a happy and satisfying ending to each character’s story.

I can not believe how great these books are! I literally cried, yelled, and pumped my arms in support while reading this!!! I love these books and I know I’ll love the last one also.

This 2nd book may e better than the first! I really didn’t know how Feyre was going to end up with Rhys but it was done so well. I usually would have hated that she switched to a new guy so easily and quickly, but it made sense with what she had been through and the way Tamlin changed and started behaving. I love that Feyre is finally being the strong woman she needs to be, rather than the whiny wimp that she tends to fall back to. The ending was fantastic with just enough surprise and secrets to make it awesome and believable without being too predictable.

Four and a half stars! I don’t know why I kept having a hard time picking this book back up. Every time I read it, I wanted more, and yet it was easy to just not pick it up. It was such a great story and it had some “endings” that helped tie up some aspects of the story, but there’s so much left to be told. Then again, I don’t know if I necessarily want solid endings for some of the characters. I like just imagining happy endings for some. Also, it needed a tad more romance, I guess. The flirting between Jesper and Wylan was cute, but I felt it wasn’t quite enough. Or maybe I just didn’t notice it? And the whole thing between Inej and Kaz is not done... I want to know that their relationship progresses positively. But, Kaz is quite messed up so... anyway, it was a great book that made me literally cry twice and gasp with anticipation and happiness. It would’ve gotten 5 stars if it had pulled me back to it stronger.

It took about half the book for me to get hooked, and then I devoured the second half. I loved this historical fantasy! I have always loved Mozart's music and his life it quite interesting, but a story from his sister's perspective was genius. I love the Kingdom they created and how Marie Lu made the goings-on in the Kingdom directly affect/mirror (can't find the word I'm looking for) the real world they lived in. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a slow, calm, fantasy story with real history mixed in.

I was so worried that I would HATE this book and it would ruin Princess Bride for me... but it did not AT ALL. All the wit, humor, and adventure that is in the movie, is in the book. I know the book came first, but sometimes you see a movie, love it, then you don't want to read the book and have it sour the movie. This was just more of the wonderful-ness that is PRINCESS BRIDE. I actually gave it just 4 and half stars because the footnotes started to really irk me. They were fine for a while, then they got ridiculous. Other than that, I highly recommend this book.
