MY REVIEW
What I liked about this story... Honestly, I loved pretty much all of this book. I wasn't sure what to expect when going into it. Was it going to be scary? Was it going to be fast paced? This was one of those impulse purchases this year and had been sitting on my shelf for a while so I thought I would finally give it a go. What I loved the most was the world and the amount of detail Samantha Shannon went into when describing every little aspect of it. It felt like I was right there watching things as they unfold, I could imagine what everything looked like and felt like. When starting this book I did think that maybe this might be a 'typical easy read' but it is far from that. This story goes really in depth in both the storyline and the characters and I couldn't help but love reading this. I can't wait to move onto book 2!
What I didn't like about this story... If I had to be picky, the story could have been more fast paced than what it was. It was quite a long book at just over 450 pages and it took me ages to read. I started reading it at the end of May (around the 30th) and have only just finished it this morning (15th June) so it did take a while but that said it was definitely worth it!
