          I'm not really into cozy fantasy because i like my characters being tortured and suffered and betrayed (I'm sorry).
but I like a well-written and interesting cute story to have a little fun and this one was one of those beautiful stories. I could literally smell and taste everything and I loved that about the writing style.
        

          I COULD NOT SEE THAT COMING! AND THIS IS A 6 STAR READ, HOLY HELL
        

          I absolutely loved this book. The horror, the romance, the words, everything about it makes my heart ache. The twist was insane and I am still processing the ending but I'm guessing I'll never come to conclusions because it meant many things. 

"For a vicious moment, Andrew thought about slipping his fingers into Thomas's cut. Taking hold of his rib and breaking it. Pulling the soft crumbling bone from his chest and sewing it into his own. They'd be forever together, rib against rib, fused in gore and bone and adoration."
        

          the ending of a great series, i was too old for it but still i enjoyed every little bit of it.
        

          Taylor Jenkins Reid writes the best female characters. her characters are complex, they have flaws but they are aware of their flaws, they make mistakes, they know themselves really well and make their decisions based on who they are. and here i am, ready to EAT THAT UP. I absolutely loved this book and i absolutely love her style of writing.
        

          the story and its world had more potential and the dragons felt underused and i wish they had a bigger presence in the story. plus, the characters needed deeper connections, but did i enjoy it? absolutely.
        

          "Bury my bones in the midnight soil, plant them shallow and water them deep, and in my place will grow a feral rose, soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth."
I admit I had some problems getting through this book. after the first half, I finally could understand it isn't about the plot, it is mostly about the characters and the vibes.
the story of these 3 people gets connected perfectly fine and the characters are perfectly written. 
But still, I expected the plot to be more complicated or better. 
anyway, this is the best piece of vampire fiction that I have come across.
        

          "All my life,” she said, “I have been told ‘go’ and ‘come.’ I am told how I will live, and I am told how I must die. I must be a man’s servant and a mare for his pleasure, or I must hide myself behind walls and surrender my flesh to a cold, silent god. I would walk into the jaws of hell itself, if it were a path of my own choosing. I would rather die tomorrow in the forest than live a hundred years of the life appointed me" 

I loved it honestly, i loved the writing and the world. The biggest satisfaction for me was the MC, i loved her character, her courage and the defiance against religion. I am definitely going to read the rest of collection.
        

          Sometimes we need these cozy books to make us feel better, i enjoyed every bit of it.
        

          crying my eyeballs out.
        

          "این همه رنج این همه زخم و این همه غصه کافی نبود که این همه دار و تیر و تفنگ می ساختند؟" 
چطور میشه یه داستان اینقدر از نظر خط‌زمانی بی‌نظم باشه و درعین حال قابل فهم؟ نوع نوشتار و قلم نویسنده توی این کتاب واقعا فوق‌العاده‌ست.
زن در طول تاریخ فقط آزادی می‌خواسته و به‌جاش زجر و مرگ نصیبش شده. چیزی از ۱۰۰ سال پیش تغییر نکرده. زن هنوز هم برای آزادی به دست نزدیکانش کشته میشه.
        

          This volume was in another level. Loved it
        

          it just wasn't for me i guess
        

          I love that in the end everything just works out in every book. And i love the chapter's names
        

          She is my favorite goddess and i am so happy she got a happy ending where no god or hero could have one.
        

          "If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends." 

Another five star, though i was exhausted by the slow pace, i enjoyed every bit of it. I enjoyed the femininity, the love story and the spirit of Jane Eyre more than anything. It was more than a romance for sure and i am wordless to describe its beauty, AND IT WAS A DEBUT.
        

          it was impossible to put down the book. the plot is amazing but i felt like the world building needed more work, the characters are a bit flat but i enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series.
        

          my childhood memories
        

          I had a hard time reading this book. I was lost in the book in the first 20%. Too many names and places without any explanations. 
I couldn't connect to any characters, i couldn't understand them, because they had no damn feelings about anything. The characters were empty!!
And misogyny i hate, this book was filled with it. I couldn't stand the disrespectful behavior against the women. 
The universe was perfectly created and i appreciate it but everything else, not my cup of tea.
        

          I am left wounded after this one. It was a story of bravery, love, pain, loss and acceptance. The characters are written perfectly, they are so human and so real you can feel any pain they felt. I absolutely loved it. 

"Wholeness, she had learned, was not the absence of pain but the ability to hold it."
