I really really liked this. I've read all the bad reviews but somehow, the story had just the right amount of heart to balance out any cheesiness.
This book has finally amped it up and included every single romance trope I cannot stand. Nope!
I will probably read the second if I have the time, but some really lopsided and hamfisted world building. Loved the concept but the execution was meh. I'm largely indifferent to the protagonist
Excited to see where this series goes. It has the seeds of something promising!
Loved the ending, and although in general I am generous to endings *ahemSookieahem* I loved the way this wrapped up.
The twist took me by surprise, which rarely happens anymore (I love you Convenant series but everyone should have known it was ____).
I like this damn series. It still has problems and I find Alex still a bit annoying but she's grown as a character and is considerate as well as strong. I can't wait for the final book.
Another 3.5. Strong concept. Love the characters. Can't get behind some of the silliness.
I like this book a lot. It has a 3.5 which could have easily been a 4 if there wasn't the whole Lea is slutty bitch part which in general makes me upset. It's unnecessary and while I read YA it doesn't mean I enjoy childishness and misogyny. Lovely characters, fascinating world, fairly unnecessary romantic subplot, all the same very touching.
Not too much to say, I liked it and like a Hundred Thousand Kingdoms it is a much stranger, richer fantasy than I normally consume. May have to take a break but I will definitely read the second before the year is out.
Eh, the plot was rather shallow but I liked the concept of the world a lot and I think this could have been really something if it was...deepened? I quite like the idea of vessels.
