”It wouldn’t have been justice if you threw your life away to kill him.”
Getting to know Maverick’s life felt almost like a privilege. It shows us that parents are far from perfect, but they make the most of it nonetheless. They’re living life for the first time, just like everybody else. I also liked the undertones of sexism and how Maverick wants to be strong because he is a man and he thinks he shouldn’t cry because that would mean he’s not a man; yet, people prove him he’s more of a man than he believes. He blooms in the hardest of conditions, just like a concrete rose.

"Fear is the mind killer."
A fullfilling and distinct story that absorbs the reader to meet every character, their traits and intentions without losing sight of the new Duke of Arrakis and family.
If I had to describe it in one word it would be detail. It surprises me how much detail there is. It wasn't difficult to comprehend — sometimes I come across books where I don't understand scenes because they're explained poorly or in a way I don't understand.
Every chapter starts with a new entry of the princess' diary, I liked that touch. You can even be not fully reading without losing the thread of what's happening, maybe that's why it can be boring sometimes if you're 100% paying attention to everything since there's always a lot dialogue.

“The Hate U Give, Every Last Word I’ll Give You The Sun, All The Bright Places. Everything, Everything.”
All of these book titles will only make sense if you read this book.
With desperation and worry, coming from a place of love, The words we keep displays a new perspective of a dysfunctional family who is trying to keep each other alive.
Rare times I’m able to relate to most of the characters in a book and this is one of them. There are pieces of me in them and I think it’s extraordinary when the author is able to pull that off.

”I think,” he returned, “you need to get a life.”
“I had one. You took it.”
Off to a good start with Eva writing a letter to Franklin, telling a unique story about what's going on in her life, introducing us to new characters, a variety of moments she's lived and most importantly, the way she communicates.
The first chapters are way too slow for my liking, knowing there’s only one device used to tell the story, but once I got used to it, I couldn’t put the book down.
Sometimes it felt like Kevin’s mother was dumping too much information, but that’s the intention. To get sucked into Eva’s letters until it feels like they’re written for you. It’s made to make you uncomfortable, to make you wonder whose side is right or whose side is true and which is not — yet, you don’t know.

”Even the strongest hearts can be tempted.”
I expected nothing and it gave me everything. I read this in one sitting because it was entertaining and the writing is just how I like a fantasy book. I hope the next books won’t disappoint me.

The only character that felt real was Ana, because it evoked frustration out of me, unlike the rest of the characters that didn't have a bit of development or progress of any kind. In the romance subplot there wasn't chemistry and I just wanted to finish the book since I thought it was going to get better, but, oh, well! It didn't.
”You draw a line and they’ll walk right over it.”
The execution of the main character’s flashbacks is excellent because they’re spread throughout the whole story and it doesn’t feel like random information spilled all over the pages, instead, it gives us an insight of Nora’s past life, which is something that one can think about if trapped in a life and death situation, just like Nora is.

“It’s like there’s an ocean between us instead of a few feet of asphalt. She’s played her hand and I’ve countered and now we’re swimming in the brutal truth.”
At the beginning it felt like a wannabe thriller from a contemporary/young adult writer, but it got fixed later in the book. It only shows us a side we didn’t know about Nora and her friends.
I couldn’t stop reading because the next chapter got better than the former one and so on and so on and I loved how the characters, ironically, stayed true to themselves. They are distinct to each other and they work out perfectly inside this world.
