Me sentí en una montaña rusa de emociones. Casi siempre digo que amo a cada autor que leo, otras veces no. Pero gracias por traer al mundo un libro tan maravilloso como este Benjamín, gracias, en serio, gracias.
i love benjamin, that's a say. I really remember that I read it these dates because I remember reading this at school in my second year of secondary, I had ended an exam and I was reading until I reached a par and I almost shouted, but I only left the book over the table and a thump sounded.
I read this because the school asked me for it, and gods, sometimes I'm so grateful for that because I loved it. It was my first book in this genre, so there was a possibility that I was not too fond of it, but actually, it did.
At the start, I kind of found it boring, maybe because this is my second time reading a classic. But I must say that then I really started to like it. Interesting things happened, and I bet that if I had to choose some of the sisters, Jo would always be my favorite. I have so many things in common with a character who is not even real, but I felt her like she was me, and it felt so special that feeling.
In summary, I think I would have liked it if my mother or grandmother had read it to me when I was a child. I guess I would have found it more interesting than now, but it was such a great book.
I could be writing essays about the last book, and oh gods above, if saints are real, I'll pray to them and tell them this is the best book. I get some plot twists of the book, but sometimes I couldn't believe what I was reading and I just stared at the pages with nothing to say. Now, ended, and I just feel empty. (if you know what I mean, you're not alone)
A lot was told, I recommend everyone the trilogy, and the third book is the best thing about it. Listen to music while you read if you can, it'll make it more amazing.

I loved this book more than the first. I could tell that it was because the characters had better development. The start and the problems that it crossed through—I guess all of it mattered—and the end—it was just so AMAZING. I guess the best part was how Alina changed her personality and started accepting what exactly she was (and Nikolai obviously). I'm just so excited to see what she becomes in the next book, I'll wait for everything, and more for the next dark Alina it seems to be coming.
I was excited and delighted to read it; when it happened, I loved it. I was excited when I bought the saga. I liked it, I may, to be honest, but if you want to read this book, just save it and don't. I liked it, like I said, but I can't deny that where's the development of the characters, not as entertaining as the series adaptation on Netflix as the adaptation is not as similar to the book, but if I have to choose one of them, I will choose the adaptation series.
I don't remember when I started reading it, but Jesus JESUS WHAT THE HELL I READ? I mean in the best way, the best book I read. The development of characters, the feelings of them that in some way I felt them too, everything. Everything was my world, my heart was so happy of reading it. I totally love it, please. READ IT.
Oh my god. I'm doing the review now but it only took me some seconds to remember how DAZZLING AND AMAZING this book was for me. We have Kaz, and I realized that we are so common (traumas do not) and god, Jesper and Inej definitely have my heart, I cried in some moments when I was saying like no way with this book like "what's going on?". Perhaps is a trauma added in my list but I just can't express how this book was so special for me.
The problem it was me, okay? I had this book, my father bought it and told me if I was sure that I will read it, which I agreed. But when I opened the book it took me TWO MONTHS, it was like the words didn't want to enter on my brain which was so frustrating because I wanted to read Jane Austen's books since a long time and that I was acting this way with the book I wanted it was like an infuriating emotion inside me. But finally, which I don't know how, I ended the book, but now that I'm writing this review like a year ago after founding (actually, re-founding) this app again, I'm considering rereading it. But as much I understood, I like it, I actually loved it. So, please READ IT.
Yeah I know, my reviews will be in English. The things is that I don't read this type of books, see, she always kills their characters and is sooo infuriating, and it's like LET THEM LIVE AND BE HAPPY FOR GODSAKE. But if I want to say something positive of this, is that I cried like a damn crazy, I'm sensitive, okay? I mean, now I regret it crying like that, but it's sad. Obviously if you want to read an hypocrite book you have this I assure you, but (in spanish we will say, para gustos, colores) if you like this, that's okay. I actually like it when I read it, I put it 3 or 4 stars, which now are 2 or even 2.5. In conclusion, read it, okay? And get your own conclusions.
Actually this book I read it because of school, but I really like it so I reread it again, I tell you now, it's short, some chapters are unclear and sometimes you'll get bored, but for only spend your time will be okay. I like it.
I tried to make a review on my natal language (Spanish), but I express myself better in English. So, actually this book I bought it like in 2021 or 2022, but I always said that I won't read it all because of the bad reviews of this author. Then, this year I had nothing to read, so I said "Why not to give it a chance?", and I don't regret it. It was amazing, I guess I've read better books but after a book which had really bored me, this was kind of savior for me. I cried? Of course I did, and I couldn't stop reading which I was so grateful for that. In conclusion, if you're doubting and you need a little distraction, you could read this.
I always say, book is better than movie, but this time both of them I genuinely like them. Book, isn't boring as the first, which actually surprised me and it didn't frustrated me, so I give it 3 stars and maybe 3.5 stars. Movie, I liked it too, even when it's supposed for kids, I'm a teenage, and I absolutely loved it.
I spent 5 MONTHS reading it, and I actually like it, it was a simply book which I expect more. I mean, nothing against the book, but sometimes it was hard to read, I'm not use to read smut, it's not for me, but I actually try to read everything, every type of book as much I want it, so yeah, you'll understand why I didn't like it that much. So, positive things, it has a map. For god sake, I love when books have maps, it's actually like I can feel like I'm inside the book because I can guide my brain and the pictures that my mind creates. I feel the emotions, but negative things, I never actually felt connected with Violet. I've read other books from the point of view of the protagonist and I always feel like I'm the one who's living it, but this time wasn't like that.
So, I'm never used to read the series of books, but I totally loved the first book and I bought the complete saga because I knew that Rick by now, will be one of my favorite authors. This year I told myself I would read 10 books (by now I read the last book and I have completed the goal) and I took them seriously, I love to play music when I read and I think here are a lot of things that made me create a playlist. Please, read the PJO series for a better life.
I never said "This is the best book" this year. THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I READ THIS YEAR. Look, I tried to read the first book of Percy Jackson in 2021 thanks to a friend of mine (Dakota if you're reading this for coincidences of life, I own you my entire addiction) who recommended the book, she lent me but in that time I didn't use to read that much like now. I'm obsessed, from a long time ago I wanted to read the PJO series and I finally bought them and now (I'm in the last book) I feel like I found my world. Maybe for everybody sounds strange, but I'm not joking, I feel like I finally found a home, finally.
