Quite addictive

I liked this! Vale and Tessla were such a good characters. Also this made me want to reread the series to pay attention more and also for jules.

3.5
Some parts dragged. But still enjoyable. I love the characters and the dynamics in this book.

Enjoyed this more than i expected

Nothing wrong with this. It just didn't do anything for me and the characters irritated me most of the time.

4.5

Not as captivating as the first book but i still enjoyed it so much. I loved the pacing and i was entertained all the way.

I also like Jameson a lot, so there's that.

Reread in preparation for book #2

Huge improvement from the first book

interesting concept, mesmerizing world, gripping mystery and likable main characters.

i hate that i think about this book often, because it HURTS!

Rosamund Hodge is a master storyteller. Even her short stories make an emotional impact.
It was nice to dive back into Cruel Beauty world again.

i'm a sucker for greek myths and Ariadne's story was one of my favorites. i enjoyed this book a lot, it's just that i didn't like the ending that much
