My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was so excited to read Veronica Roth again. I tried to get into the Carve the Mark series but I just couldn’t get past the first half of the first book. I really enjoyed this book. The main character is flawed and what inspired me the most is that the heroine decided to stop pretending to be someone she was not. She totally owned her failures and did not let her former boyfriend guilt her for breaking up with him. That was so dope. I don’t think I have ever read a common character trope to play out the way it did in this book. The magic system and world building is on point and of course the setting is in Chicago. Roth really knows the layout of Chicago and I could envision almost every scene set in the city. This book falls in between YA and New Adult.
