REVIEW:
Six out of five stars.
Absolutely unable to understand the plethora of negative reviews on this jewel (pun intended) of a story. The characters were diverse, their development was amazing and the world building was great – and without any early instalment weirdness too!
The plot was original and compelling, taking us through a roller coaster of
feelings. There were characters who you can’t help but love and there were
characters who you just cannot stop hating, ever (*cough* Countess of Stone
*cough*). Scenes you will just melt for and scenes that will chill you to
bones. But all of it will definitely make you forget that they are not real,
if only for a few chapters.
And the novellas, oh those small novellas, dare I say are even
better than the main books! If I ever manage to get over them, it
will be a miracle.
(Even though the mould of teenagers usurping the centuries old government
in dystopian fantasies wasn’t broken, at least it wasn't full of clichés and
overused scenes.)
All in all, I must tell everyone to at least give it a chance. In my
experience, the reviews were highly unjust and I beg new readers to try to
keep a judgement-free mindset. You will be missing out on a lot if you
don’t.
