This book did not go where I thought it was going to go, which I absolutely loved! It was filled with dark romance, jealous boyfriends, and some badass women. The book also progressed so "naturally". And by that I mean, it felt like this is how real people would evolve in this story rather than being a "picture perfect" romance where nothing could ever go wrong. I also liked how more of her past started coming up but in a way that felt in pace with the story and not forced or overly hidden.
This rating was a tough one for me. I almost gave it 4 stars but I went with 3.75 stars because I felt like the plot of the book took a while to become apparent. I was thinking "Where is this book going to go, it seems so random" and I was about 60% in when I finally thought "Ok, I think I can understand the purpose of the book now". That being said, the first 60% was enjoyable to read. It gave a lot of interesting background into the world and I liked how even though some events seemed a little bit random, they all clearly connected to the same theme and progress of the book. I also enjoyed the writing of the book and how the story was told. Overall, this was a good read if you like dark dystopian type books.
This was a good read but I was a little disappointed because I thought it would be the diaries of the kids, not someone’s summary of the diaries. It was great to read their stories, but I went into the book wanting to hear each of their voices and I feel that was lost since it was reading a persons thoughts on their diaries instead of the diaries themselves.
This was a book club read this month. I had already wanted to read it so when my book club picked it, I was very excited. I started reading it and I was loving every bit of it. I loved the writing and the theme and the plot. The reason I only gave it 3.5 stars was because the ending just felt anticlimactic. Honestly, the ending made perfect sense for the book though.
By the time I got halfway through this book, I already knew it would be added to my all-time favorites list! The writing is beautifully done. To see such a difficult topic viewed through the eyes of an innocent child was truly life-changing. I will never stop thinking about this book.
This book was just so good. It is a heavy topic to read through but I loved how it was written and how honest Susannah is in the book, even from the beginning. This book had me tearing up, laughing, and even swooning over her relationship with Steven!
This book felt like a great balance between romance and plot. The slow-burn romance between Rune and Gideon had me kicking my feet and squealing the whole time. This book felt like the definition of swoon-worthy to me without taking too much away from progressing the plot of the story. The characters had so much depth and I really enjoyed getting to know them over the course of this book. I have already preordered the second book and can't wait to see how their journey ends!
After finishing The Hunger Games, I was excited to jump into Catching Fire. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. This is one of my favorite books I have ever read and it is my favorite book in this trilogy. The author did a good job of taking the concept from the first book and adding to it in a way that made it so interesting still without feeling "repeated" (if that makes sense...).
