Read 2 times. Last read February 14, 2015 to February 16, 2015.

This was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed this crazy adventure of a book. I will say though that it did take a bit of time for me to really get into this book. I also felt the world is still a bit underdeveloped for my liking, but I'm hoping that I gain a better understanding for everything in the sequel. Other than that such an exciting read, full of twists and turns that will leave you flailing all over the place! HECK I'M STILL FLAILING.

moya saoirse I really want to read this book! I was going to order it but said nah, I'll order Cinder instead. Will I have second thoughts about my decision? I dunno. I love that cover, though. Bloody beautiful.

Afaf Ahmad Try Mara Dyer and see how the plot twists (which are plenty) will leave you.

Celeste I just watched your TBR challenge on youtube and fell in love with that cover! Can't wait for your youtube review :)


Alex Yes! I'm excited to start this book, I'm glad you liked it so much!


Nicholle How long did it take you to get into it? I'm having the same problem :/

like 200 pages. haha! it's very slow going.


Nicholle Ok, thanks!


Tina it's funny, I thought it was a very fast paced book, sometimes a little to fast paced for my liking. i also feel like it wasn't the world that was underdeveloped but the characters. didn't really connect with them. funny how opitions can differ! best thing about books, I guess!


Anna I totally agree with this!

I felt that I couldn't keep up with which house had which power and who belonged to each house and who was related to who. It was a whirlwind of information overload!

I'm hoping the next book is more of a progression!

MadisonIsReading... Yeah it took me about 100 pages to get into this book. By the time I did though, best. Book. Of. The. Month! Now I'm recommending it to all my friends and now their even crazier about it! Can't wait for the sequel! :)


Katie Your review is one of the main reasons I picked up this book. Thank you for helping find a good read! I can't wait to read the sequel.


Stacy I seriously coudnt put it down. Great writing and such detail. Very well written. What an imagination.

I read it in a day couldn't put it down


NerdsRule Lol yup totally agree. though there are some aspects that I've seen before it was still enjoyable.


(am I the only one read this in Jesse's voice?..)


Ashlyn I found it kind of confusing at first, but after reading a couple of pages into the book, it got interesting.

Hope Hernandez Just wait until Glass Sword, and then King’s Cage was the best so far. War Storm is the fourth and final book that I’m DYING for!

William I agree! I really enjoyed this book and found it enjoyable to read. I will say though, at the start of the book it was hard to get invested with the characters, everything moved really fast. Though, as I got further into the book I started to enjoy the characters a little bit more. I also think that yes it is alike Red Rising, I found that there were differences that set this book apart from that one. I feel the society is built up differently and that adds a lot to the book. Overall I really enjoyed this book and i can't wait to read the squeals.


Tieno I really enjoyed the plot of this book and the story was so addicting!!! I just had a problem with the author’s characterizations. I felt like the build-up and growth were so underdeveloped, they felt unreasonable.


Madisonp02 I definitely recommend the whole trilogy. I'm only on the second book but still its getting better and better every page.
