Mrs. Pearl!! You did it again. You never seem to not amaze me and leave me speechless after reading one of your books. This book in the series was phenomenal. I cried, literally almost screamed and was totally engrossed in every word. These characters are developing in a way I did not see coming. You are the Master of Deception with words and I love every moment. Until the next book, which I hope is soon, because I don’t want to wait to know what havoc and destruction will befall those who deserve it. And I NEED TO KNOW!! Wonderful job.

What can I even say. Like the other books in this series, this one made me bawl my eyes out. Only, it managed to do so within record time.

I was lucky enough to get to read books 1 and 1.5 close together, and then very quickly got blessed with the ARC for Ordinary. Now I have to.. wait? For more? This series has dragged me in, completely. I need to know what happens to these characters. I need to know what happens to this world.

10/10 would cry again.

Thank you to the author for my ARC!

I am obsessed with this series! This dystopian novel has ALL the POVs, a very intense caste system, so many twists, and yearning! Every time I read a book from W. Pearl I am not able to put it down. She is one of those authors that gives me that feeling of I can't stop reading but I don't want it to end at the same time. Can't wait for the next book, I have so many questions and concerns for these characters. 😭

Review of Advanced Copy received from author

This is book 2 in this dystopian, emotionally devastating series that I just can’t get enough of! W. Pearl writes these complex, nuanced characters that really make you think about the duality of man and what makes actions good vs evil. Every single one of these books has been amazing and I very much look forward to the next one!

Please do read the content warnings for her books. If you find you can handle it, you won’t regret reading them!

Thank you W. Pearl for the ARC copy. Wow. I have sat on this for two days. My mind is blown and my heart is in a thousand pieces. The emotional trauma is so addicting. The way that W. Pearl writes is so mesmerizing. The attention to detail and the development of the characters is perfect. Don't get attached to any character because she is not afraid to make them the worst or make something bad happen to them. There is nothing Ordinary about this book! Go pre order it!!!
