Did I learn much from this book?
No.
Is that because the book was written for/marketed to different people?
Probably.
Is this still a good book nonetheless?
Definitely.
The way it's written is so real, so human, and I love that. The tiny jokes really made me laugh but the best part, is that this book has given me a tool to help phrase things to other people when my own words are lacking.

I got this book from a friend who thought I would enjoy it.
She was so right.
I loved it. I loved everything about it. The world and its details, the characters and how uniquely different they all are, yet they bond with each other and all have a vital role. I just love it to bits, and have thus added it to my favourites.
It's left such an impact on me even, that I need a moment before continuing on to a new book.

I'm not fully sure what I think of this book. I had to sleep on it, to be honest. On one hand, I love loved it. Again, so intense, so horrid and disastrously beautiful. On the other hand, I feel it was a little TOO packed with info. As if the chaos the characters experience is dripping off the pages.
I LOVE how Suzanne wrote Katniss' state of mind in the last 100 pages or so however. A. MA. ZING.

Ab-so-lute-ly AMAZING. Again, I'd seen the movies before reading this. To me, that mind of helps as I have some idea of what is what. Again, the book goes deeper, has way more details and makes sense of things left unanswered by the movies. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to read the next one!
... no, really. I can't wait. Grabbing it right now.

Shit, this was amazing!
I'd already seen the movies so I knew what was going to happen. But the book added 5 layers to it all, if not more. There is so much more information, so many (disturbing) details, a larger timeframe (in the movies I thought it was a week, maybe two; the book makes it seem far longer (which is great)) and so much more emotion. I absolutely loved it to bits! The book is amazing, even if you already know the ending.

Honestly, I personally just didn't enjoy this book. It had a very different feeling from the first two books, which made it seem like it wasn't even part of the series anymore at some points. Where book 2 made me desperate to find out what happened, book 3 just disappointed me left and right. The ending was weak, the stoey even seemed forced and I just wouldn't recommend it. You can easily just ask someone what the clue is and be done.

The overall book was all right, it's really interesting to delve deeper into the minds of the characters. I will be honest and admit that I skipper over some parts because things got a bit too long.
The ending however instantly made me go to the library to get the next book

A very easy read, for some reason. Despite being over 450 pages, and thus among the longer books, it was quite easy to get through it. It was hard to put down at some points even, it all takes place in a very interesting world. Not a favourite of mine, but definitely a good read.
And it definitely made me feel powerful.

My gods. This book....... I think I like it even more than 'all that she can see', but only a little.
This book is absolutely great. It's very captivating, it really gets you invested in the characters and you just want to know how things are going to turn out! Although the ending was a little predictable, it was the perfect ending.
Everything about this book is just... perfect. It's perfect for me to read away on a warm summer day.

Truly, how Carrie Hope Fletcher manages to write such magically wonderful books is beyond me. If you haven't already, go get your hands on a copy of her book. I'm halfway through the book and It's so wonderful, I barely have words for it.

So I just finished reading this book, and it was all right. It was a nice, light romantic novel, involving different people who are all connected in some way. There was a twist I kindof saw coming, but mostly I found the book okay-ish, bordering on boring from time to time. But overall it's a nice book if you want a getaway I guess.

Now excuse me while I go read something different to hopefully recover from the ptevious book heartbreak.

Hopefully. Maybe this one will break it just as bad but who knows

So I just finished this book and.... I cried my eyes out.
It probably hit me harder than it'd hit most people, but it made me contact a friend and tell them how much I loved them. And that doesn't hapoen quickly, a book having such a big impact on me.
