I'm still in shock at everything that happened in this book. It totally blew me away and made up for my slight disappointment with Gilded. The story has such a magical, otherworldly feeling to it with a rich mythology. I was planning on reading this book in four days but ended up reading it in less than two. Marissa Meyer's writing sucks me in every time and I just can't resist devouring her books....more

I just loved this book so much and it's one that I think everyone should read. Despite its length, I managed to read it in only nine days, yet as soon as I finished, I wanted more! It's a wonderful classic masterpiece set in early nineteenth-century France that turned me into a mess of snot and tears as I read the final chapters. I loved every minute of it, and it's a story that I know I will remember forever....more

This book shares such an inspiring story and helped me to understand more about life in Afghanistan. The end was so very happy and sad at the same time, I cried. I totally recommend this read for anyone age 15 and older looking for a beautiful story of friendship....more

Two of the characters do... something together that in my opinion is completely unsuitable for teens to read. It seriously shocked me so much and even left me in tears, the thought was just so disturbing and upsetting to me. I read this at 16, and I honestly feel as though someone should be at least 20 to read this book. I had such high expectations for this series and this book really left me disappointed....more
