Maya!

This was stupid and I'm mad I stayed up until 1:30 am to finish it

I don't think I liked that very much

The patriarchy always wins

First read of the year!

It was fine. I do think it could have benefitted from being a little longer - there were so many interesting ideas & characters that didn't quite flesh themselves out. But I'm a sucker for a battle royale-esque storyline so I still enjoyed it!

Sisters :')

This pissed me AWFFFFFFFF

Consider me Guy Woodhouse's #1 hater

my feet hurt

Absolutely ridiculous

slay, queen!! (literally)

Pardon my White People Speak but this absolutely KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF

Banger!!!!

¯_(ツ)_/¯

every time they referred to that damn dog as a “white ball of fluff” it took a year off my life. please. there are other descriptors out there!!

:(

some of those twists were CRAZY but also a lot of this was boring so... 3.5 stars

I can't believe this is real

Ouch

Holy shit.

3.5 because there were parts of this that were a slog to get through. And it was a little weird. But then also I ate this tf up...! Really good world building and such an interesting story love u Holly Black they can never make me hate u

3.5. Enjoyable & quick read

Oh, this was so much fun! I loved the world and its fairytale inspiration. My only complaints are that the writing felt more middle grade than YA to me, and our heroine often read as being a lot younger than 17. Regardless, it was a fun fantasy that kept me engaged (unlike the one I DNF'd yesterday). Excited to dive into the sequel B)

3.5 ....the ending had me gagged i cant lie

4.5 rounded up. What a profound little novella! I love stories about human kindness and bravery
