Short and sweet, didn’t need to be much longer. Was really cool reading an apology from that perspective!! ( )

I wanted to be more invested in this than I was. It was mostly just an insane letter, by the sister retelling the same scenes, without adding more than 1/4th new ones. I felt distracted because I’d just finished the first book and didn’t need to listen to everything still do fresh. The ending was spectacularly creepy though with the mirror mentions. ( )

It was interesting to see the sister's point of view, I gained an insight about what she was going through and learned some aspects of the other characters (eg her lover) but being honest, I think what our protagonist in the first book was going through cannot even compare to her sister. June is a fighter and will not hold back her impulses. That makes her arrogant and less careful or docile, and that's what makes me love her perspective more, because as the boy says: "She is a good story". ( )

Holly Black is one of today's best writers (IMHO.) She knows how to tell a good story in an eloquent way. This story did not disappoint. Really filled in the details on that sister I just couldn't ever like. ( )

Yeah, this was not the apology Taryn thought it was. What a horrible attempt at explaining away bad behavior. ( )
