After all the hype.. I want to love this one. But at the moment, I don't see that happening. I hope it gets better. Else I think I might just switch to the screen adaptation.

Skeptical about starting this one, as I've never liked Nesta. But I do adore Cassian, and want to read his story.

So here's hoping Nesta redeems herself..

Okay, so my wildly crazy hunch was proven right. But I am only 41% of the way in, so clearly this was only the first twist in the tale. Which by the way, I have to say was masterfully done (even though I saw it coming).

I am 18% into the book and I have a hunch as to what is going on here. It's kinda crazy, actually it's completely bonkers, but hey, the blurb warns against every other logical explanation, and urges the readers to assume nothing, so..

Such interesting examples!

This book was a random pick, but it's surprisingly quite enjoyable. I am literally flying through it.

Okay, so I am only a couple of chapters in, but I already dislike the female lead. She is pretentious, self-absorbed, and immature. And I have a feeling this is only going to get worse.

This book is awesome. It is. But it's also very slow going for me.

It's possibly just bad timing. Especially with the state of world affairs, reading about Hitler and WW2 is not the best idea at the moment, I think.

But I am not giving up on this, I can't. It's a really good read.

This book. I have heard such great things, but I am having mixed feelings about the beginning.

It's just...different, which is neither a good or a bad thing on its own, but I am unsure about how it makes me feel.

I guess it (the writing style) is just going to take some getting used to, since I have only just begun.

Have you guys read this book?

The endgame has begun. Be still my heart.

This book. Only 80ish pages in, possibly a little too soon to say this, but this is turning out to be my fav book in this series so far.

One chapter in, and I am hooked! It has been a long time since that has happened with a romance novel.

It took a long time for me to really get into this book, but around the halfway mark - something completely unexpected is revealed, and I am hooked!
