What I thought:
I swear the book is better than that I let it sound in my description..
Before I started this book I was afraid this book was overhyped and that it would be a standard YA fantasy with lots of romance. But oh boy what was I wrong!
First of all I absolutely loved most of this book! I literary could not stop reading! The story grabbed me from page 1!
I really thought this book would be really predictable, with the romance etc. I did predict the romance, but it developed in a really different way than I thought.
I read most of this book in one day, this was mostly possible because the book was so interesting and read really easily. I could not read the full book in one day, because at the end I was a bit annoyed by Jude so I went to bed haha. But that is literary the only thing I did not like about this book!
I liked that they went to school regularly, in lots of books school is mentioned once and then they juts abandon it..
So end conclusion: the hype for this book is definitely well-deserved! And I totally get why everyone wants the sequel (me as well)! This book will be on my favourites of the year list!
Advise for:
Readers who like fantasy that read easy and do not contain lots of fantasy!
I actually think most readers will love this book!
