die hard Suzanne Collins fan but maybe no longer

Revisado: 12-10-24

i am going to be overly critical as Suzanne Collins literally got me into reading when i was a teenager. her stories are believable and well developed and i was excited to hear more about Snow. howvever i found this story just had a cop out ending. like it made me so angry because i truly believe she is capable of doing better. what would have been believable is Snow became a coldhearted b-word because he was scorned by a woman. the ending was really ramping up and you could feel the tension about to break. but instead we got a slow fizzle out that basically left me going "wtf was that" and i want to buy the book just to throw it across the room. setting the stage for his phantom hands to just do things of their own accord is crooked and a cop out. "he had no control over his hands as he lifted the rifle and fired" that is a load of horse shit. it was like she had no idea what to do with the very well set up romance Snow had manipulated.
i swear if she does Hamiche that dirty i will literally drop her from my library. very disappointing . 2 stars for labor on the story 5 for the actor's performance. 2 star overall because i am very mad. and i waited 2 months to write this because otherwise I'd have been so much more angry. do better.

the plot

I didn't dislike anything. the thing is, this book was so beautiful and hit so many of my tropes, i actually cried at the end. the slow burn was perfect, the chemistry was brilliant. Thank you

good gods

this author really gives Sarah J. Maas a run for her money. I was really considering re-reading ACOTAR and im so glad i didn't. I love this series so far!

amazing but triggering

Revisado: 09-21-22

i first read Twilight when i was 13. i was so excited to finally read this. i was not disappointed however as someone who struggles with self demonizing and depression i do not like the way this book's mood made me feel. i know Edward has a hard time and blamed himself however i do not like the plot they chose that leads you into New Moon.


****SPOILER BELOW****


you realize his decision to follow thru with his trip to italy is more to keep himself from indulging her in her desire to truly be with him and that is just a level of self sabotage i can't accept. he plotted his own demise solely around her desire to join him because, like myself he assumed she saw him the same way he saw himself and would rather die than turn her, but also specifically to avoid coming back in the future when she is older and killing her. i just dont see how after that, the relationship was salvaged.

mayhaps a different narator?

Revisado: 09-08-22

i liked the story BUT the narator(female) was just meh. i wasnt really impressed and it almost made me stop listening. at first i thought she was supposed to be snobbish given the whole gold everywhere theme but when that clearly wasnt the case i still wondered why she sounded like she struggled with word enunciation.

tear jerking

Revisado: 07-24-22

I've officially read them all. I was so excited at the end and it just wrecked me. I bawled like a baby. SJM has become one of my favorite authors. I have read a lot of books and by far this series is one of my favorites.
From the beginning the MC has been a very realistic and well designed. the way SJM managed to bring things full circle was just amazing. my ADHD would have me dropping an arch just because I forget.
the last 20 minutes was enough to bring me to tears. but this whole book was just a masterpiece.

loved it

Revisado: 05-28-22

while I loved it I noticed a few inconsistent plotlines. if you are reading this, you have finished the first one so SPOILERS AHEAD
When she signed her contract, unless I am mistaken, the captain of the guard was there with her when the king told her who he would kill if she failed him. and yet in this story she acts like Chaol was not supposed to know this tidbit? but I swear they mentioned he was in the room and remained emotionless when this info was dropped....
the story other than that was great but that bothered me immensely.
