Really, all I have to say is half of it was boring fillings and the other half was repeating everything said in the last books, but now with a baby.

After reading the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children trilogy, this book was a nice way to say goodbye to the series. It didn't mention any of the characters, but that's alright because the last book already had a nice closing for all of the characters. The Tales of the Peculiar puts a nice perspective on the peculiars in the story. No matter how weird the Tales were, they were an interesting and fun read.

I've never read Marie Lu's Legend series, but this book kind of makes me not want to. It's not that this book was terrible, but I wouldn't say it's good. Marie likes to repeatedly say things like "I don't know how much time has passed," "I lost count of the minutes," etc. The main character, Adelina, I think is purposefully dislikable, because she's so full of hate and is so selfish. It's a nice change from how authors usually write their characters as the type of person they, and the readers, would like. The storyline and the writing all just seems kind of pushed, like they told her she had a week to come up with and write a whole book, and this is what she came up with. I don't mean to be so cruel, I'm sure a lot of people love the book, it's just not my... style I guess I would say.

I saw a lot of bad reviews on this book before I read it, but I was curious and interested so I read it anyway.

The ones who gave the bad reviews were correct on some things like how Celaena was too girly for a universally-known assassin and she cared too much about her looks. She also didn't have the whole "deadly assassin" vibe most of the time, so that kind of threw me off.
The other things I didn't enjoy was how the love triangle seemed to take up a lot of the book, and it was barely even a love triangle, how much it was dragged on in the middle with nothing really happening, and the some of the fighting scenes were kind of bland.

Other than those things, I kind of loved the book. I like the plot, because a famous female assassin just sounds so cool. I also really liked the whole "finger's tip from the wall" scene for some reason.
There are other things I liked, but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't read it.

I would recommend this book to anyone who's into Game of Thrones or anything similar to that, as it is a fairly great book.
