The Ruined by Renée Ahdieh

2.5

Honestly after such an amazing first and second book in a series…I’m genuinely disappointed. I waited ages for the last book hoping it’d bring the series back for me from book 3’s weirdness but honestly I’m just frustrated! 

I thought something promising was
going to happen as the book kept going and I stuck with it hoping for a satisfying ending but I just feel…dissatisfied as a whole with the series and its conclusion. The ending truly just left me annoyed, after 4 books we ended with that?? It felt so rushed and like it hastily had to come to an end, I just wish it had more thought and more time.

That being said I think this would have worked better as a trilogy eventhough some plots needed more time, just as book 3 was well…you’ll know if you read it, and the end 20% of this book was written with such weird pacing I just feel sad. Plus there was a lot of plot points that were just left unexplained!! 

Idk I just wished this would have done more…but the ending felt really rushed and I feel like we spent too long on plot points that didn’t even get wrapped up…idk I’m giving it a 2.5 because after book 1 being so incredible I feel bad about not enjoying this and still love the world and the characters…
