READER BEWARE: This is a true dystopian. Not a happy go lucky dystopian world but magical happy ending. No. This series is dark and macabre and all the more brilliant for it.
I was offered a review copy of the trilogy in exchange for an honest review and it was described as darker than The Hunger Games and Divergent combined. OH lord did it deliver 😂
These books are a dark version of the above series and Legend trilogy by Marie Lu as well. Fans of Nevernight by Jay Kristoff may also be interested 👌
Characters are strong willed and well thought out and you honestly never know who's going to be killed off or not. Logan Keys does not hold back so you can love the characters all you want but try not to get too attached.
We get to read from alternating perspectives across the books and each voice is unique and you can determine who's view your reading from the thought patterns and reactions which is a testament to the authors marvelous character building.
The plot twists in this series are fabulously executed too. Nothing is what it seems and everything can come full circle. The plot is so well constructed I am kind of in awe at the authors mastery of their craft... Characters and plot lines all weave in and out of each other and constantly keeps you on your toes!
Overall, this series is not for the faint hearted. It is a chaotic, violent mess in the best way possible and a joy to read if that's your jam. My dark little heart loved it 😂
My only complaint? I was left wanting it finalized and knowing how it all ends and was frustrated I have to wait for another book 🤦😂
