I see a lot of negative reviews, and I get where people are coming from. Its not about the characters we grew to love and hate. But I did find this story interesting, learning about the way the world was during and after the sunflares, the way the virus started.

The exclusive scene about Theresa blew my mind. When I started reading it, I wondered 'Wait, is she Deedee?' Yet when I read that she was, I was still shocked.

I liked the characters, I actually liked Deedee/Theresa, which was a surprise because I hate her in the other books.

Well... this is surprising.

My whole life, I've never been interested in Harry Potter. Usually when something is very popular, I automatically don't want to like it. I don't know why, I've always felt like that about popular stuff. But besides that, I also was never really interested in the story.

At some point I got a best friend obsessed with Harry Potter. She convinced me to watch the first two movies. I still didn't really care about.

A few months ago, the Harry Potter movies were on tv every week. I decided to give it another chance, not because I was interested, but because of 'the experience '. I wanted to understand what people were talking about when they were discussing Harry Potter. I kind of enjoyed the last few movies, but still wouldn't call myself a fan.

I've been told many times that the books are better than the movies. This is usually the case with any books made into movies and/or shows. So I agreed to read them. I read the first one, and it was so obvious to me that it's a middle grade novel. The way it was written bothered me. I think I gave it two stars?

Now. Here we are.

I got a free subscription to an audiobook and ebook app, and suddenly I got the thought 'maybe I could try it as an audiobook'

Now, I don't know if it was the fact that I listened to an audiobook voiced amazingly, or that the book was just written better, but I liked it! I enjoyed every part of it and looked forward to listening to it every night. I even turned it on while making my homework (though I'm not good at doing multiple things at a time. I forgot some parts of the story)

I never thought I would do this. But here I am, giving 5 stars to a Harry Potter book. I think I'll continue listening to the audiobooks, maybe this is how I can enjoy the series as much as others do.

Oh my God. This book... wow. I have mixed feelings about it, and like I've seen others say, it really messed with my head. There were shocking things I didn't see coming, even though I had read spoilers that prepared me for it.

In the beginning, I couldn't really get into it. I felt like the story was confusing and going really fast. And then, around 50% of the book, I couldn't stop reading. I know I say that about a lot of books, but that's what tells me a book is good. When I can't put it down. When I can't stop reading it.

This book was heartbreaking and dark and dare I say cruel. It messes with your head, without even knowing it. At least, that's in my case.

I'm not 100% positive about this book, which is why I'm doubting if I should give it 3 or 4 stars (right now 4 feels best). I didn't like the amount of 'no homo' used. I get that it's a thing a lot of people say, but it has always annoyed be. But also, it was used a lot.

I don't know what else to type, there are more points but I'm mostly speechless and trying to figure out how I feel about this book.

I read the ebook version on Storytel, so I'm not really experiencing holding the book. When I have finished reading the TDA books, I want to buy a physical version of this book. Maybe it will change my rating.

I don't know, I expected more. More information about the characters. There were only a few catagories and a small text. You could find more information on the fandom wiki pages. Or in the book series itself. I don't feel like I learned anything new about the characters.

I did enjoy reading this though. It's quick and fun. The art is amazing.

It's that I'm not giving half stars this year, or else it would've been a 2.5.

Oh wow. I loved reading this, getting to know the characters better, knowing what it was like before the Maze... and the cruel ways of WICKED.

The only reason I read this book was because I'm tired of people always being shocked when I say I haven't read the books yet. I watched the movies, and although the last few movies were interesting, I just wasn't a big fan. I always got the same answer, "The books are better, you'll enjoy those."

I didn't exactly enjoy this book. Though some parts were interesting, I just don't think I'll be the biggest fan of the series. Maybe because it's a children's book (I didn't even know that. Thought it was YA until the back of the book said Bloomsbury Children's Books).

At some point, I really didn't feel like reading it anymore (around page 170 I think) and I really thought about not finishing it and giving it another try another time, but I remembered a tip I heard about, listening to an audio book while reading might help. And it did! I finished it in only a few hours, and made me enjoy it a little more.

But don't worry, to any fans reading it, I will try to continue reading the series, although not immediately. Who knows, maybe other books in the series will convince me.

It's not like I hated this book. If I did, I would've given it 1 or 2 stars. I gave it 3 stars because I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. I don't particularly dislike it, but also don't like it.

I can see why people like these books though, escaping into a fantasy world with magic, unicorns and dragons.

Didn't love it as much as the second book, but I still enjoyed it. Because I saw the movies I knew what was going to happen, but I definitely prefer the book version. I remember the movie making me confused, but the book explained mu questions.

I didn't feel anything except being bored, confused and sometimes uncomfortable.

This is the first time that, not including my study books, I read a book about something else than a fictional story, and I plan on reading more - especially on feminism. But because this is the first time, I didn't know how to rate it. But my gut said 5 stars, so I'm giving this 5 stars because I don't have anything negative to say about this book.

I keep saying read, but I actually listened to the audiobook (I'm planning on buying a physical copy soon and reread it) and I'm so glad I did! It was the author who spoke in the audiobook. I closed my eyes, and even though I've never heard of the author before, never met her or seen her, I could imagine her telling me this story. And I could not stop listening.

Her stories... wow.

I already thought of myself as a feminist. I do not have that much experience yet, I'm a 16 year old who grew up in a... kind of accepting place? When I still lived with my father, it was not that accepting. He and his friends... well, let's just say they're everything but feminists. I was taught to "behave like a girl". But after my parents divorce and I moved back to the place where my mother's family lives, I grew up in a more accepting place. People don't talk much about this topic, but I know it's a more acceptable place.

Listening to this, it made me believe even more in feminism. There is a problem. And even though I might not have much experience, I will always keep fighting for equality.

I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. It's short, the audiobook is only 45 minutes, but it's powerful. It's a powerful story that needs to be heard. Needs to be listened to.

Alright, I'm going to stop typing because this is turning out longer than I expected. I'm just passionate about this topic, but I'm also not good with words or explaining things, so when I write it turns into a long rant trying to make it understandable.

Ok, I think poetry might not be for me. This is the second poetry book I read, and I just don't feel anything while reading it.

This started out good, and some parts are really relatable. The way it's written is also good. But at some point it felt like it was going on and on and on and I lost interest and kept looking at how many pages I still needes to read. I forgot words 2 seconds after reading them and didn't feel like bothering to reread them.

Again, it might just not be something for me. I can understand why someone would love this.
