My 12 year old said this book is SO good. Since she does not read and actually liked a book, I thought I would also give it a try. 12 year old probably have loved it…44 year old me? Not so much. lol.

Not sure how I feel about this book...I love the storyline but HATE all of the characters!! (Pretty sure that is how we are supposed to feel....lol)

The book just. Won’t. End. I really enjoyed her first book…but this one is just not for me. For being well over 600 pages, not a lot is happening.

Wow, I am really enjoying this book. I find myself asking myself about what I would do. Would I open the box? Would I want to know?
Such a thoought-provoking novel!

This book is never-ending...and not much is happening. No real character development, the plot is non-existant with 10 million unanswered characters...I have a little over 100 pages left and it feels like 1000.

I love Jandy Nelson's writing style!

Absolutely loving this book! I can see why it has won so many awards.

To say I am disappointed is a huge understatement. :( I have to google every few pages to figure out what the heck is even going on…

There is a lot of world building going on and this author seems to make up a new word for EVERYTHING, but then does not include the majority of it in the glossary? What IS included is explained within the story itself?

This is supposedly amazing...but I find myself flipping back to figure out what sowmouth is, but that is not included in glossary?

I like the storyline, but the book is so. So. Long…I feel like a good editor needs to be hired to remove all of the unnecessary plot points and descriptions.

I am not really sure. I am having a hard time believing that these teenagers are able complete heists such as those mentioned in the book.

I LOVED Boulley's first book...it was honestly one of my favorites. That being said, I am very underwhelmed with this book. I feel like the writing is very elementary (so.many.simple.sentences).

This book is really...really...really...long. I loved Fourth Wing and was SO excited for Iron Flame. However, I feel like Yarros could have cut out the first 300ish pages. All those pages managed to do (in my opinion) was make me really dislike Violet.
Now that I am almost to the end, I finally feel like we have a story again and it actually has things happening!
