I really enjoyed this. The characters were all intriguing with the exception of Chris. He was okay, just kind of bland, and as for the guy vying for Becca, I just wanted to care about him more. I found his brothers and Hunter much more interesting, so good thing there's a book about each one of them :)...more

It's full of tragic events, it is about how the Queen of Hearts comes to be afterall, but it wasn't really depressing to me. I would recommend it to those who like Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles and those who like mixed up fairytales....more

I'm conflicted. I love Ally Carter. I really liked the storyline and many of the characters in this book. however, I had a hard time liking Grace. I understand why she is the way she is, but that doesn't make it fun to read about her. most of the time I wanted to shake her and tell her to stop being so illogical. She was better in the 2nd half and I love the mystery aspect of it. the ending was also great. hopefully the next book will have Grace being a little more sane and using her brain....more
This was okay, but it had too many heavy topics in 200 pages. Most of these topics weren't even really handled, they just happened with no consequenceThis was okay, but it had too many heavy topics in 200 pages.

argh!!! This is why I don't start series until the whole thing is written and done. This left me with a pretty big cliff hanger, and just generally waargh!!! This is why I don't start series until the whole thing is written and done. This left me with a pretty big cliff hanger, and just generally wanting more. At first, I didn't like Eadlyn as much as America, and maybe I still don't, but as the book progressed she started realizing her flaws and wanting to correct them. I feel we'll really see her grow in the series and I like that. Overall, this book is what you'd expect and very enjoyable. I'm not 100% on who she should end up with. I'm not even sure who I want her to end up with. There are at least three suitors I really like!...more
3.5 stars. Book two of this series only gets the 3.5 stars because it was so dreary. It's well written and I still really liked the characters, but ev3.5 stars. Book two of this series only gets the 3.5 stars because it was so dreary. It's well written and I still really liked the characters, but every time something good happened, something awful would follow. I realize they're in a war, but something could have gone a little better for our heroes. I think I'll like the last one because it has to end happy, right? At least not be so bleak. Just a heads up, this one even more adult than the first book....more
