I couldn't bring myself to give this higher than 3 stars because it's just not as good as some of my favourite fantasies, but it was still really good! The instalove was super cringeworthy and the writing was very simple and I dunno it's just not the best thing I've ever read.

Ughhhhhh
EDIT - I feel like a lot of people are confused and want my thoughts as to why I rated this so poorly, so here it goes! I feel like the writing is very simple and nothing special, there has been instalove in both books I've read so far, I was honestly bored and felt like not a lot happened except for unnecessary character deaths which served no purpose except for being used for shock value, it wasn't memorable at all - I just finished it the other day and I can't even remember what happened, I don't feel anything towards any of the characters, it's just meh all around tbh :(

I am so sad. This absolutely broke me. I definitely recommend reading this if you love the series because you get such an interesting insight into Levana's character. She is so so so so evil :(

DISCLAIMER - My friend and I decided to do a book swap where we lent each other one of our favourite books (I gave him the Knife of Never Letting Go) and he gave me this one!

To be honest, I'm so glad that's over and I can't believe I made it through the entire thing. I can see why people love this book, but it just really isn't for me, especially because I'm an atheist. I can appreciate it though but I just found it to be really slow and boring and preachy and just not my thing.
