Okay, I just want to start off saying that I LOVE this series. So, I was excited for this book until I realized that it was a bit like a insanely long novella. This book tags along with Empire of Storms. So, you get to the same ending as when we left off with our beloved Aelin.
Anyways, this book was much slower for me. I had a harder time to get into it. The first half of it was really slow. Basically, most of the first half was about the healing process of Chaol and his budding relationship with Yrene. The action doesn't really happen until the second half of the book and that's when I really found my groove. I couldn't put it down because you start to see all these pieces come together.
I really liked the addition of the new supporting characters. I do feel like I'm getting a Game of Thrones vibe with all the characters I have to keep track of! Anyways, I really liked Nesyrn much more in this book and her relationship with the Prince. Honestly, I would have preferred this book more, if it was more about her and her new group and the Ruk's. They were pretty awesome.
This book was just way too long and it could have been cut in half, for sure. I love this series so much and the last 1/3 of the book really made up for the rest. I was between 3 and 4 stars and I went with 4 because of my love for the overall story.

Wow! So, I saw this book come through and saw the quote on the front. It grabbed me: "Moxie is sweet, funny and fierce. Read this and then join the fight." -Amy Poehler
I am SO glad that I did. I got through this book in 3 hours! I just could not put it down. This book is about Viv, who is just fed up with the unfair treatment (sexism) in her high school. She's a "good" girl but decides it's time for her to do something. She doesn't know what, but it has to be something and now. Influneced by her mothers past, she gets an idea to start some zines.
So many girls can relate to this girl, I sure could. She's shy, sits at the back of the class and just follows the crowd. She doesn't stand out and doesn't make noise. So, I totally get how terrifying it was to make her first stance. She ends up starting a girl revolution that is quite moving. It's amazing what one little action can do.
This book touches rape and racism too. It's amazing how girls from all different back grounds come together and take on the people in charge, the boys who are jerks and don't take no for an answer.
This book is not just for a feminist. Anyone reading this book gains something. There's a lot of growth to these characters. Finding their voice, self-esteem and learning to speak up for themselves. I keep seeing that this is basically a girls vs boys book, it's definitely not. Being a feminist isn't really about not liking boys, it's about wanting EQUAL rights and treatment as the boys.
In fact, the definition from a quick google search:
"Feminism is: the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."
I don't see anywhere that it says we don't like them. I quite like my man, a whole heck of a lot!
These girls stand up for themselves and come together. It's quite beautiful and I really enjoyed it. Read this book and try not to feel like you have more Moxie at the end. You can't! I think this book is great for the times we are in right now. #Timeisup

I had trouble with this one. It took a long time for me to finish and I'm surprised I did. I just got really bored in this plot. The premise sounds amazing but it just didn't keep up. Maybe I had too high of expectations.
The reason I found it quite boring was there was just so much information. I mean loads and paragraphs full of information. I get trying to educate but man, it was too much. It broke up the story and had me getting lost. I also felt like the plot was a bit all over the place. I also felt the characters just didn't have any depth and were just bland.
The author did a ton of research and it showed, just too much..
