i have terrible news, i did not underline much in this book๐ I KNOW, IT'S A TRAGEDY!!
but moving on, this book was good! a fun read, and i wanna read the rest of the books for sure! but i will say... it's a BIT overhyped. the first.... 6 chapters? we're very VERY fast paced. like so much happened in the first 3 alone, like it was just BAM BAM BAM; not really taking a moment to settle on things, just making the point and moving on. the rest of the book was still fast, but no where near as fast so that was good.
the storyline? awesome, the writing? felt a bit like fanfiction but good nonetheless, the plot? super interesting. and the plot twists? jebfjajbdjd DAMN. there were some plot points which felt a little... odd? like Stephanie just needed an excuse for something so she just threw in that tiny plot point. (ex. LaLa being a Fate, threw me off when reading) but other then that, was written very well.
since the writing was fast paced, it was one of those that you could sit down with for a little read and then end up reading for hours since you're so invested.
โผ๏ธnow, for the slight spoilersโ๏ธ๐ผ
JACKS. oh my gosh everyone loves jacks. now, perhaps i will grow to love him in later books, but in this book? bro is just a complete dick. except for chapter 45, can we talk about that? i about melted reading that. but still, jacks kinda sucks, he does everything for his own gain, and the only reason everyone loves him is because everyone is obsessed with their morally gray booktok men. im not convinced. (at least he has a sense of humor ig)
but on that same note, APOLLO.๐๐ I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM. YEAH HE WAS UNDER A SPELL BUTTTTT STTTTILLLLLLLLL HE'S SO๐ญ๐ญ๐ญโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ PLEASE CAN HE BE MY SLEEPING BEAUTYโผ๏ธโผ๏ธ
"killing" him totally threw me off and i actually made this face: โน๏ธ when I read it. but thank goodness he's alive๐๐ I've heard he sucks in later books and that makes me sad๐๐๐
guys, chaos. i understand bella now. vampires are pretty hot๐ (that entire time they were with the vampires, my brain was playing scenes from twilight)
luc?????? that's all I have to say regarding him.
BACK TO CHAPTER 45โ
