I wanted ANSWERS!
spoiler: I got none...

After watching the TV show for a while, I've started to not like it too much, so picking p the books seemed like the next step. Now, I have to say that the only similarities between the two are how cheesy the first installments are.

Most of the characters have different personalities and all around different lives from the TV show. Only a few have the same relationships as well. I definitely enjoyed playing spot the difference while reading this, and in the end, I was pretty entertained and will definitely go onto the next.

The only warning I feel like I should give you going into this is how annoying basically all of the characters are. I'm definitely not totally invested into them as I originally was with the story, but it's still entertaining.

5/5!

somehow this got deleted from my goodreads good thing I have a review up on my blog: http://emilyspeaking.blogspot.com/2014/11/review-throne-of-glass-by-sarah-j-maas.html

4.5 stars

Really enjoyed this one!I found that it really picked up where Cinder fell a bit flat. It had more character development and world building.

I liked Scarlet better than Cinder, even though a lot of people feel the opposite. I like spunky characters because I find them more relatable and less whiny, and Scarlet was definitely spunky.

I really enjoyed going back and forth between Cinder and Scarlet. It didn't feel forced or choppy and that's usually why multiple POVs are a turn off for me. However, this is written in third person, and I found that I enjoy multiple POVs more if they're written in third person.

While I do like Scarlet a little more than Cinder, Cinder grew a lot as a character in this second book and I hope she continues to kick serious ass in Cress.

I knocked off .5 stars simply because I found the pacing a little weird sometimes. It would pick up and slow down and then sometimes go too fast. That's just me being a stickler though, and I've rounded the official star rating to 5.

You should definitely pick up this serious if you've yet to!

OKAY SO DO WE GET TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS TO HER IN SCARLET
