did not like it

knew it was gonna be a rollercoaster when i saw sarah j maas on the cover. i would have ate this up if i was 12 years old i promise 😭� but this is such a classic dumb YA fantasy that y’all will just go crazy over�

to understand what i’m talking abt let’s play a game

you have to murder someone and you are going to get poison from the market. do you�.
1. secure the bag and run away asap
2. chug beer until you’re so drunk you can’t function! #Lit #Wild
the answer is 2!

you are pretending to be someone else and they are engaged. do you�
1. make an effort to connect with your fiancé to avoid suspicion, then plot his downfall and get rid of him in a quiet manner
2. fuck your fiancé’s bodyguard
the answer is actually 2🤯

here’s some classic YA fantasy tropes this book has!

tyrant that destroyed magic with zero motive, killing witches �
telling instead of showing writing ✅✅✅✅
so predictable that you can guess every plot point �
stockholm syndrome instalove �
badass sassy one dimensional main character �
forced character development �
soft uwu girl turns powerful �
ancient prophecies, chosen one ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅�

things this book lacks
an editor �
an original plot �
3 dimensional characters �
heartfelt moments �

WHY couldn’t this have been middle grade. the writing is for elementary schoolers, so i almost spit out my water when they started talking about dick. authors, WHY DID YOU DO THIS, what went into this decision 💀

in conclusion, this was horrible but the kind of horrible where it gets more fun as you keep reading and laugh at it. ya fantasy do better 👎 maybe i'm just getting older and can't appreciate it anymore but either way it's sad. at least the last 25% was entertaining.
