I really hate Aspen

This was honestly fucking hilarious

I absolutely hated this book the first time I picked it up (about 2/3 years ago I guess) but I'm glad that I have picked it up again.

The writing was a bit annoying at some points, since Juliette was constantly whining about anything, though this can be overlooked, because I really enjoyed the plot which got me hooked and made me want to keep reading.

Every time I started reading it was slightly hard to get in to, but after the first few chapters it became a lot better and much more interesting.

I absolutely loved it but feel like it's the exact same plot as ACOTAR. (First two books included in this too.)

First, she gets taken away by a man, who keeps her locked up. She falls in love with the ‘bad guy' who turns out to be her mate. The kidnapper guy comes to take her back, but she comes back again and marry. Then there is war, they win.

I still absolutely loved this series though. Every book was short enough to read in a few days, and they were very easy to follow.

This third book was slightly boring, since in more then half of the book its the same every chapter, but the last few chapters did save it for me.

Assassins, romance AND a murder mystery? Sign me up!

Starting this book, I already had sky high expectations thanks to the hype on Booktok, which made me a little hesitant to pick it up. But OH BOY am I glad that I did!

The characters were well developed, with each their own flaws and motivations. Especially Lady Kaltain and Princess Nehemia were really interesting characters to me, as they both started of quit mysterious.
Celeana felt rather flat at first, but I feel like she quickly redeemed herself. I loved how, even though she is an assassin and ruthless and deadly and all, she still loved ‘girly' things like just dressing up in beautiful gowns and balls and parties. Celeana felt like the fun, reckless older sister I dreamed of as a child.


The murder mystery has me on the edge of my seat each chapter, overanalysing every word and action to figure it out. Ofcourse, I didn't, but that didn't take away the enjoyability of the book.

My mind is all over the place right now, so I'll probably edit this review later on.
