It is not for everyone. But it is a fantastic book. It will make you happy, cry, and laugh. It shows you multiple points of view and tells you who's dying each time it switches people. Everybody the main characters run into has a story to share. So each chapter is a different story, but it always returns to Mateo and Rufus, which is one of the best points of this book.]]> 2022-08-16 19:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/652kes15/eq9urmzxryyyazln/wish/2262562053 Summary 652kes15 https://padlet.com/652kes15/eq9urmzxryyyazln/wish/2270895716 During his eighteenth year, the heir to Emberfall, Prince Rhen, was cursed by an enchantress.

It's very creative, from descriptions to relationships. You get connected to the characters like crazy. If you loved A Court of Thrones and Roses(written by Sarah J. Maas), this book is for you. The recommendation is where you come from, the description is why you opened the book, and the characters and their connections are what you will stay for. If you love this book, you will love the other two in the Cursebreakers Trilogy series.]]> 2022-08-28 01:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/652kes15/eq9urmzxryyyazln/wish/2273581108 Summary 652kes15 https://padlet.com/652kes15/eq9urmzxryyyazln/wish/2273581130 Celaena Sardothien is an eight-teen-year-old assassin.

The descriptive writing is amazing. There are things that surprise you entirely and things you expect to happen. The connections you see happen with the characters are essential. The overall storyline of the book is beautiful. It gives you hints to what will happen in the next books but you can't notice them unless you're rereading. If you continue to read the series you will learn that Maas never forgets a character.]]> 2022-08-28 01:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/652kes15/eq9urmzxryyyazln/wish/2273581144 A Heart So Fierce and Broken 652kes15 https://padlet.com/652kes15/eq9urmzxryyyazln/wish/2405912358 Book 2

About 600 pages was all about Keefe and how-to "stop" Neverseen. Only about 40 pages was about the actual plot which was finding Elysian and 60 pages Sophie's feeling for Keefe. There wasn't a lot of action for this highly anticipated book, it was kind of a let down however this book instead was more like the "Slice of Life" genre because it shows relatable emotions, the coming of age of the characters, and the beginning struggles of a young relationship.]]> 2023-03-03 03:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/652kes15/eq9urmzxryyyazln/wish/2502063438
