Critiques
I don't even know how to write anything on this right now - major emotional rollercoaster and so good and just wow - Go read this trilogy - it's so good!
Really interesting premise. I generally enjoy books that delve into what makes someone human, the contrast between humanity and creatures deemed inhuman who often have more compassion. There were a few rough spots in the story especially towards the end where things accelerated quite quickly and too neatly especially as far as the characters' emotions. Otherwise an interesting, exciting read.
The twists and turns in this book had me yelling and screaming at the characters. Super exciting and frustrating at the same time! I appreciate that each book in the series wraps up nicely yet leaves open opportunities to explore in the next book.

The book has so many really well-done setups but the follow-through always sucked without exception.
There wasn't a single twist I didn't predict years ahead and there are many of them.
There are a number of things in this book I really wanted to love but the execution fell flat in the end every single case.
The only part that I enjoyed a lot is the beginning. Before the book tries twists and turn and complex court intrigue etc.
Every good and interesting idea eventually gets resolved by a common and cheap YA or sci-fi trope I've read hundreds of times before.
Every good plot thread is just a thin veneer over a myriad of plot holes.
The writing is easy to read and flows really well. I was never jarred or irritated by the writing itself.
All in all, I can not give more than 2 stars but this could've been easily 4 stars if it tried harder.
There are 3 types of bad books for me. The first is just so bad that it makes me mad but I sometimes keep reading just to see how bad it gets. Second are books that just fail to engage me at all. Those just leave me indifferent. This one is of the third category. It fully engaged me and kept me actively reading and paying attention. This in itself is a very positive aspect but nothing in this book held up to my scrutiny. I would not have paid enough attention to even notice all the hidden weaknesses if there wasn't a very engaging element to this book.… (plus d'informations)
