While I don't take those books very seriously, there were some things that I couldn't dismiss.
pros: - book short and fast paced - acceptable main characters - I really liked the tension between Rune and Guideon - entertaining - ending that makes you want to read the second book
cons: - love triangle involving two brothers (COME ON) - Rune as the crimson moth was more tell than show since we didn't see her much in action - There some plot holes, for example, how can someone just randomly enter another person's house? (view spoiler)[ how didn't Rune lock her rooms so other servants don't enter? (hide spoiler)] - why not use magic for healing when the opportunity presented itself? (view spoiler)[why didn't she cast to save Alex's life using his blood? At least she couldn't said why she can't do that... (hide spoiler)] - love triangle resolved in the old fashioned way (view spoiler)[ of course, someone is going to die so Guideon and Rune can live with their choices, and then accepting to marry just like that? it was totally out of character (hide spoiler)] - teen hormones leading the main characters to make hasty decisions - Rune not thinking why there were dead bodies left by witches, since she wasn't the one doing it (I assume most of those), didn't she wonder if another witch was in the arena? - witch hate turning into genocide and Rune seemed oblivious to the reason behind the uprising
All in all, the book was fun and I'll be starting the next book soon before I lose interest. The story isn't new but it's a quick entertaining read. However, there were a lot of incidents that did not make sense or needed better explanation....more

I have a sister whom I cherish deeply, but I struggled to connect with the Blue sisters. Bonnie was the only one I liked, while I found Lucky and AverI have a sister whom I cherish deeply, but I struggled to connect with the Blue sisters. Bonnie was the only one I liked, while I found Lucky and Avery unbearable. It also felt unrealistic for the three of them to achieve such remarkable success despite their challenging backgrounds. Each sister had an exaggerated, flamboyant personality, with little common ground between them. It seemed like the author overcompensated in making each sister distinct. While I understand why many enjoyed the book, I wasn’t aware that three of the four sisters were addicts or that cheating played a role. Had I known, I would’ve avoided it entirely, especially since the brief redemption arc did little to change my perspective.
I listened to the audiobook and the narration wasn't flattering, it was weird, and I am not sure how to describe it. It was as though the narrator was reciting rather than reading, with awkward pauses that made it sound like there was a period after every couple of words....more

I really tried to give it a shot, I wanted to finish this novel with the cool name but sadly, I wasn't listening to audiobooks when I had the time since I wasn't interested in the story. I didn't care about the plot nor the characters. I decided to stop wasting my time since I wasn't finishing other books preferring to focus on this one. Instead, I ended up distracted by other things. It couldn't hold my attention not one bit....more
