“They joined hands.
So the world ended.
And the next one began.”
Aelin is back in Rifthold, but this time she's no ones slave. She returns to seek revenge on those who have wronged her, including her former master, the King of Assassins. To fight for her kingdom and her friends, Celaena Sardothien intends to wreak revenge for a decade of pain.
I have a lot of emotions. As I was reading this book, I was convinced it was a 4 star read, but honestly... THAT ENDING! The last 60 pages of this book were so intense and gripping, I think I squealed at least twice. Aelin's return to Rifthold is everything I could've asked for, the only reason this isn't 5 stars is that I did think there were parts that dragged a little too much? I think some parts were quite boring (please don't kill me, I did rate it 4.5 stars which is almost the same thing

"If there was magic in this world, we have long since scienced it into extinction."
I don't think this is the kind of book you say you enjoyed, simply because of all the dark topics it covers: from suicide to self-harm to anti-semitic beliefs. Poetry can get extremely personal, and this is a prime example of that. At times, it felt as though Jared Singer was almost laying his soul bare.
I connected a lot to some of the poems, I thought they were insightful and relatable. The poetry itself was great, I loved the writing style. However, I did think the poems got slightly too repetitive for my tastes which is why I gave it 3.5 stars.

The concept of this book intrigued me. I haven't read a poetry/science fiction book before and I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it boring and hard to get through. I wanted to DNF it, but I pushed through in hopes of it improving. It didn't.
When I read the description to this book, I expected a poetry collection that would be emotive and moving. That wasn't the case at all. Instead, I found the poems quite confusing, they didn't flow very well and so the pace was off making it difficult to read. I wasn't emotionally affected at all, and overall I'm just disappointed.
Reread- one of my favourite poetry collections to date.

My favourite was 'The Day You Read This' - Page 192.
Thus was actually the first poetry book I have ever read (other than the collections read for school). I think it was great, I just have nothing to compare it too, which is why it was four stars instead of one. I definitely recommend!!

Overall, this was a solid read. First of all, I loved the colour palette, the dash of pink was stunning. I really liked the art as well, there was something charming about it. The story was very unique, and isn't something I'd seen before in a graphic novel. I will say, I would've liked a little more information on how the world ended up like that. I know the earthquakes were mentioned, but maybe at the start there could've been a little part actually showing what happened to the world to result in it being so ruined. I really liked the characters, they were cute and had their own little personalities which I liked, however there was something preventing me from actually caring about the characters. I loved the little added touches like the jinx root, that was interesting.
I enjoyed this, it was a good graphic novel.

In this collection, the author explores a range of topics. From war to immigration to a lack of food and survival. I thought it was intriguing, I did enjoy a lot of the poems. This is a solid poetry book. For me, there was just something lacking. There were a few poems that I thought were boring and just couldn't connect with.
When it comes to poetry, people can be very particular about what they like and dislike. I know a lot of people dislike the 'modern poetry' style. Personally, I think it depends. In this book, it was a definite success. I think the main reason Milk and Honey is a huge phenomenon is because you can sense Rupi Kaur's passion in her poetry. You can feel the pain and sorrow in her words. This poetry book is an embodiment of Rupi's history and survival. I love how empowering her poetry is for all females, I love how it shows her journey through being broken and then healing, and most of all I'm inspired by Rupi and how she had the courage to publish her work and show the world everything she's been through.
