I loved how well Avery thinks ahead like in chess I just didn’t like how Toby is stuck as a Blake. It’s was also crazy to learn that Tobias was a bad person. Can’t wait to read the other books.

Technically this book is like a 3.5 for me, but I’ll round up because it wasn’t bad. I can’t say it’s my favorite dystopian-type book because that award probably goes to Animal Farm, but this was definitely an interesting read. It definitely forces you to think or at least come to terms with some uncomfortable possibilities and truths about the world. I will say that the themes of this book are in no way inconspicuous. On every or every other page Atwood is basically yelling her values in your face, and this goes on throughout almost the whole book. Now, I absolutely believe that some people NEED to be yelled at and they NEED to have these messages drilled into their brains. Those people should read this book. But, I personally would prefer for the book to be a little more flexible in allowing its readers to discover things by themselves. I agree with what this book has to say about the vitality of women’s rights and the flaws of authoritarian governments, but I think that plenty of people like me (who agree) are reading this book and they don’t need to be hand-held throughout the whole thing. On another note, it would’ve been cool to get multiple perspectives in this book and hear from characters like the Commander and Nick. (I don’t think I’m going to read Atwood’s other books to find out) Also, I liked analyzing the religious aspects of this.

It was a good book. The characters went through a lot of troubling moments especially Alex. I am excited to see how there relationship progresses in the next book.

i knew that tamlin wasn’t her lover. too many signs that he was just a side character but i can’t believe he sold out the entire continent for her. he’s got mad issues. rhys on the other hand has been so scrumptious and delightful like he’s perfect ! and i love how each of the books end and start with a section like it started and spring court and then the next in night court and then back to spring court like each section of their plan was put into seperate books. awesome!

I think this book was good and there were much less cliff hangers than the first except for the coin thing that Harry took. I also wonder who Alexander’s dad is.

Such a good plot but why a cliff hanger. I had a gut feeling that Harry/Toby was important otherwise why would he be mentioned but I want to know more.

It was an okay book that I felt could have been a little better. The characters were all good though. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes fantasy.

This story ties in with the original Hunger Games series and "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes". Now I know why Haymitch is always drinking wine. The Capitol was so cruel for burning Ma and Sid, and then poisoning Lenore Dove. And all this happened around the same time. I'm glad Snow is gone now.

The book itself was so sad because both Bella and Edward were depressed for about half of it. I wonder how tall Jacob is if he just kept growing. Be able to compare his height to Bella’s.

stellar. i lowk knew that tampon wasn’t gonna be her lover because although he saved her, he was easy too controlling and contradicted every fiber of her being. he was just the person who had shown her live when she needed it, not the one who is the guy for her. that honestly reminds me of my own experience with a guy, and i hope she gets with rhysand he’s perfect for her!
