I didn't think I'd like this book. I thought it would bore me. Can you believe that?! This book is beyond what any fairy tale could ever hope to achieve and I have to say, Laini Taylor is a genius. I don't think I've ever read a book that has so much rich detail and amazing characters and heartbreak. The emotions felt in this book are almost too real and complex to bear. I almost wish I hadn't started this book because it's painful to read; it's so amazing. 
 I gotta say the ending is such a frikkin tease. I can't fault anything written in the story, like Karou's decisions, 'cos like I said, so realistic. Still, I couldn't help but wish for more of that fairy tale happy ending that the blurb clearly states was not gonna happen. At least I could take heart in the fact it could of been a lot worse. 
 Laini Taylor, how about this: I'm going to stop doubting you and PRAY HOPE that you will give me that happy ending you know I will die without. Btw good job on the book.
