I can't write a proper review for this book. It's just not possible. Splendor takes love/hate to a whole new level for me. 
 Not since Mockingjay have I liked a book that pissed me off so much. I already knew what was going to happen due to reading some spoilers, so maybe it softened the blow for me and didn't leave me as bitter as I thought I would be. 
 (view spoiler)[Had I read this book without knowing ahead of time what was going to happen, I would have probably been a crying, hysterical mess. Even with knowing, I still felt my heart breaking in some parts. Sigh...Diana - how could you? (hide spoiler)] 
 2 stars for the outcome. 4 stars for the writing. Godberson is flawless in her storycrafting. 5 stars for an author having the "balls" (yeah I said it) to stick to her guns and write the story that she wanted to write, even if it would piss off the fans.
