a work of art. the writing was lyrical and each poem was expertly written. i found myself emotionally connecting so much to each poem. i also loved the themes discussed. i definitely recommend to anyone who wants a short, poetry book that is both heartfelt and touching.
Wow!
So this is a reread for me, and the ending still got me, even though I was expecting the plot twist...
Cassandra Clare has the most amazing way of connecting you with the characters, and then breaking your heart at the end of the book. As I said, this was a reread for me, and I was expecting parts of the book to be quite boring (because I knew what was going to happen) and that was not the case at all! I was still shocked, hurt, happy and sad whilst reading City of Bones. Admittedly, this writing style isn't Cassandra Clare's best, but it is also one of the first books she's written (I'm assuming, it is the first in the series...) so I'll let it pass ;) The characters are so likable (most of them) and funny. Honestly, I NEED TO FIND ME A JACE. The premise and plot line of the book is very unique, it isn't like anything I've ever read before. Saying that, the world itself is also very original, and is well developed. Everything was explained well, and I wasn't confused at all.
Overall, this was amazing!

I AM AN EMOTIONAL WRECK!
Cassandra Clare has a talent for creating beautiful endings. This book is a prime example of that. The ending was perfect, so perfect I cried. I love the way she developed the plot line in this book. The characters were much more intricate, especially Jace. The relationship between Jace and Clary KILLED me. It literally broke my fucking heart. I don't even know what else to say, other than it was amazing, so amazing I can't even put it into words. Definantly recommend.

Everything hurts and I'm dying.
I forgot how tragic Greek Mythology can be. In The Song Of Achilles, Madeline Miller brings us a story full of raw pain and conflict and a heart achingly beautiful romance. We follow Patroclus, a young prince exiled to King Peleus's court, where he meets Achilles. From the beginning, Patroclus and Achilles had my heart. Seeing them grow from young boys into men, watching their relationship develop, was everything. Their relationship was consuming, captivating and just unlike anything I've ever come across before.
And Madeline Miller's style of writing is just as good as I remembered - her lyrical writing was mesmerising and she transported me directly to Ancient Greece. The Song of Achilles was such an impactful read, I definitely understand the hype.

I finally finished my reread of this beautiful series!! I need Sarah J Maas to release the next book! I'm so emotional right now. That last fight scene was a whirlwind of emotions, my heart stopped at least 20 times. I know a lot of people don't like the ending of this trilogy (I'm still calling it a trilogy) I personally think the ending was perfect. I'm still absorbing it all tbh
i was not expecting this manga to be so raw, and full of emotion. it perfectly captures what it means to be human, and what it is like to be a young kid growing up with a dysfunctional family.
adored this, can definitely see it becoming a new fav
