the beginning was a lot less interesting to me than the middle or ending, but it got more exciting and by the end there were some parts that really stood out and meant a lot to me <33

I loved this!! I mean, I love everything Grishaverse, so that’s not really saying much, but getting to dive deeper into this world and see it’s culture and religion and traditions more fully was so cool. I also loved all of the little nods to and references to things in the rest of the series, and finding out the background for other things. <33

As always, this is one of my favorite books. Elizabeth Acevedo is an amazing poet and reader, and this audiobook is literally fantastic.

Well-written and interesting story, it was just very different from what I was anticipating and didn’t really grab me.

Some of the content was making me uncomfortable, and I’m just not in the mood for it currently.

 This book was really really good! I can't formulate a full review at the moment because its almost midnight, but I loved the main character and the relationships/interactions she had with others (especially a certain Prince of Hearts). I didn't, however, love the pacing of this book. It felt a little choppy and off, especially at the beginning, and the short chapters (though I normally love them) didn't really help with that feeling. But the entire concept, characters, relationships, and plot was amazing, and I really really really need the sequel now.

I really really enjoyed this book! It started out a little bit slow, and I wasn't really vibing with the characters or the writing style. But when the romance started to pick up, it got a lot more interesting, and towards the end I feel like the book really found it's voice, and the main character was a lot more likable. I'm definitely glad that I read this book, and if you're looking for a cute sapphic romance, this one's for you. :)

Honestly, for the most part this book felt like a four-star book, my least favorite of the series, but the ending was absolutely perfect so I had to bring up my rating haha. I love this series, and Finale was the most perfect conclusion to it. I can't wait to see more of this world (and some of the characters) in Once Upon a Broken Heart <3
