The pacing was just weird and the plot was so confusing. Just not my thing. 

The story deserves a 5 star. It was so beautiful and so emotional. I related to it a lot, but the low contrast illustrations just killed me. I'm sorry. They're really pretty and the artist is extremely talented but I got an actual headache from looking at them. 

Why did Cassandra Clare right this? Cause she shouldn’t have. It was so slow and confusing and random. This series didn’t need 3 extra books. It should have ended after the 3rd one. The writing style is just so juvenile, even for a YA book. Like she’s got figure out better word choices — she used “canoodling” in the first book and I thought that was the last time I would ever have to read that, but I start reading this and what do you know, there it is again. The only redeeming quality about this book is Simon’s character. I love him and his story is just so sad. 

This was the first book that has ever made me cry. I loved it so much. I loved the characters, I loved their friendships, and I loved the ending. It made me so happy. 

I think it does a great job depicting different family relationships and different aspects of growing up during a religious revolution that I didn’t understand before. I truly enjoyed this book. 

I absolutely love this book. It the story, the characters, and the art style are just all so beautiful. Even though the different "timelines" aren't specifically labeled, the author does such a great job of using different monochromatic color schemes to differentiate them. Blue for the fairytales, pink for the current timeline, and yellow for the past. The story is so wholesome and sweet. I really liked how the author added Vietnamese culture to Western fairytales. The characters and setting are just so beautifully drawn and this has one of the best art styles in any graphic novel. I hope that everyone reads this. I can't recommend this enough. 

This book manages to be just as dark and creepy as the books before it. I actually really enjoyed the lack of explanations and how it allows the reader to interpret their own story. The artwork is just so amazing and detailed. The longer I look at each page, the more things I can find in each panel. 

I love this story and these characters. I've grow so attached to them and I truly care about them, as much as you can care about fictional characters. The story is interesting, funny, and I found the little twists to work super well. My only complaint is it was a kind of slow start. 

Umm, it was okay. I wish it was more fever-dreamy, though. I didn't really get much out of this book. 

The "main" mystery was never really solved or at least it wasn't made important enough for me to remember reading the "solution". The plot was incredibly chaotic and disjointed. I feel like since the first book, the effort put into each book has gone down greatly.
