I have been waiting for this book a long time. Before I even saw the cover of it. I started following Tahereh on twitter ages ago, because she seemed so amazing, and then later on I found out she had an book that was coming out. Then I read the summary. And I kind of died. Because, oh, it was so amazing. So I have been waiting patiently (kind of) for months, and today I finally got to read it.
And may I just say, wow. It is simply stunning. Absolutely perfect. Every part of it. I adore the writing, even though I have never read a book like it before. I loved the words that were crossed out. Those were amazing. Because it let me see much better what Juliette was really thinking. :)
I also liked the world it was set in. Everything. Every little piece. And oh, Juliette's power is amazing. I loved it. Very much (A) Wish I had it too. Hih. The best thing, however, is Adam. Adam Kent. The most adorable, sweetest boy. <3 I also wish he was mine. And I just couldn't help falling in love with him :)
A not normal thing for me, was to also love Juliette. <3 I don't normally like the lead girl, but I really liked Juliette. She was strong. And kind. And smart. And I love the way she thinks. There was other characters I also loved. Like James. But oh, I HATED Warner. So, so much. And after some pages near the end, I hated him even more. Wish he won't be in the next books. *Wishes.*
My only complaint? I wish the book was longer. Much, much longer. It was a bit too short. But it wasn't so bad, really, because it ended good. At least to me :D And I simply can not wait for the next book. <3
If you have not read this book yet, then I do not know what is wrong with you. But, either way, you MUST pick it up :D It will be worth it. <3
I LOVE this book and the romance was just GREAT.
