However, I missed my favorite aunties and Meddy's anxiety. The aunties are really funny and clever, I love them sooooooooooo much!...more

4.5 stars.
After a few months trying to finish this one (and failing because I was crying due uni), I finally made it. I was almost dying and said to myself "well, let's read for a couple hours"... And I finished the entire book, lmao.
Let's see if I can write a proper review like I used to. Or I'll cry so bad.
I gotta admit that I liked Vicious more than Vengeful, but that doesn't mean that Vengeful was bad. No. Marcella was a really interesting and amazing character. I really liked her so much. When I grow up, I wanna be like her.
I disliked June. At all. And Sydney was getting into my nerves.
As always, Schwab's writing is what keeps me alive. Her writing is so beautiful and gripping and captivating.
Victor my ace king. If there's gonna be a 3rd book, it better not be so many years after this.
I actually don't have a lot to say (complain) about this book. I liked it, but nothing's gonna top Vicious. Ever.
previous review: well, that wasn't bad, actually. rtc!
ugh, the way i know this book's gonna be the death of me but i'm here for it, says a lot of me and my emotional stability...more

I gotta admit that I first watched the movies before read the book... I thank my brother because he one day said to me "Let's to to the movie theater. I gotta show you something", and that was it. I fell in love with The Hobbit movie. I remember a 13 y/o Ale being amazed of what she saw in the theater and totally invested with the story, the characters, the plot, etc. (Also I remember myself saying that I want to write something big and worth to hit the big or small screen, and I still hold to that, even if I know it's not entirely possible.)
So, my brother is guilty of throwing me into this world. And I love it.
Tho I wish I had read the book first. I had the chance these days and I loved it.
I know it's a children story, that the good and exciting things are in LoTR, and I can't wait to read it, but The Hobbit it's now one of my favorites and a comfort read!
Don't have much to say about it, just that I really loved it and cRIED LIKE A BITCH BECAUSE I LOST FILI AND KILI IN THE MOVIE AND HERE TOO. TOLKIEN LOVES TO PLAY WITH ME, RIGHT?
I loved Bilbo's journey and now I expect that kind of journey when I turn 50, lmaoooo.
In some way, Tolkien taught me that I can accomplish my dreams of becoming a writer.

As always, my review contains some spoilers, major or minor. If you haven't read the book and don't want any spoilers, don't read further.
This was hell of a ride. A fucking rollercoaster of emotions. And I was (not) ready for it.
Like I said at first, Skyward just felt like a prelude. In Skyward there was action but here, oh gods, here Sanderson shows up something more. He shows to us the real deal with Detritus, the human race, the krells, with Spensa, Jorgen, M-Bot and Doomslug.
In Skyward I was like "why the hell M-bot is so obsessed with mushrooms? why doomslug is weird? why appears in random places? fROM WHERE IT CAME?" but these questions were answered and now many things make sense now.
I'm a sucker for character, plot and worldbuilding development, and what I got here in Starsight left me speechless. There are more characters (ones more likeable than others), more plots (some of them left me on the floor, others confused me aND I HOPE THAT CYTONIC ANSWER MY QUESTIONSSSS) and a new world (sort of, it's more of a big ass city, but you get me).
I need to know more about Alanik, but I already love her.
The pacing to me it was really fast. I didn't even feel time while reading this book (mind you, i love sci-fi, so maybe that's why), also I guess it's because Sanderson's writing is really good that grabs you since you start the book and keeps you reading until the book is over.
You know something I really loved? The fact that we didn't have the typical girl-on-girl-hate just because someone is better than the other in something.
Spensa meets Brade, who is a human too and a pilot. Brade is a really good pilot. And Spensa doesn't hate her for it, or feel envy or wants to humble her. Spensa admits that Brade is better than her.
Here:
"She was good—even better than I was".
"And Brade was better."
"Seeing someone who was better was perhaps the most inspiring thing I'd ever experienced. I wanted to fly with her, chase her."
Also, Morriumur was amazing. skjdhdjf seeing them being shy, splited in two by two minds was something really interesting aND HOW THEY SAVED SPENSA TO THE VERY END, UGH, *CHEF'S KISS*
Anyhow, not much to say because I already fangirled so much and cried like a bitch when M-Bot begged to Spensa not to leave him. iF M-BOT IS NOT A SHIP AGAIN, I'LL RIOT AND SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.
I loved Starsight so much.
previous review: IT'S ALMOST 1 AM AND I'M SCREAMING INTERNALLY. HOLY SHIT. WHAT'S THAT CLIFFHANGER, SANDERSON??? MY THERAPY. NOW.

So, it took me a while to finishAlexa, play The Great War by Taylor Swift.
SHAKESPEARE WISHES HE WAS CHLOE GONG. HE COULD NEVER WRITE THIS MASTERPIECE.
So, it took me a while to finish this book (more than a fucking year) and it was because I knew what was going to happen... And honestly I wasn't ready. As I said in my review of These Violent Delights, Romeo and Juliet was my first book, and Roma my very first crush, like ever. Holy shit, my mum had to see me cry for him like for 3 hours...
Book 1 made me cry slightly, but book 2 broke me like a fucking promise. I said what I said.
I knew how this was gonna end. I knew it was gonna break my heart and shatter it into million of small pieces. I knew I was gonna cry like a bitch because I'm a cancer with pisces moon, which means I cry a lot, lmao... And still, I read this book.
I'm a masochist, I can see it now.
Dear Chloe, please let me live like a delusional and let me have my happy ending, pretending that my Juliette and Roma lived forever happy....more
