I’m not really sure how I felt about this book, to be honest. Rating it was very difficult! On one hand, the idea was interesting and unique. Brilliant, really. On the other hand, the prose was horribly sophomoric and I felt a massive disconnect because it was so dry. I kinda wish this had been required reading when I was in high school. I probably would have loved it if I’d read it when I was much younger. But the […]

Most of you know that I’m not a fan of classics because I hate historical. I would normally never pick up a classic by choice (except for 1984 or Fahrenheit 451), but my mind was in kind of a dark place when I picked this up so I was looking for something dark about mental health.

I mean, that was completely realistic though, because they’re fighting for their lives. I kind of liked that aspect. But sometimes it was still unexpected! MADOX. I still freaking looove Madox! I want him to be mine, all mine! He is definitely still the best part of this story. Also, I totally love that Tella was collecting Pandoras. […]
Thank you to Tor Teen for providing this copy for review! I never was able to tell if the girls at the School actually had supernatural abilities, or if they were just very talented. And smart. It kind of seemed like a paranormal, but it read more like a historical? Which would usually be a bad thing for me, because most of the time anything even remotely historical makes my brain shut down. But this was surprisingly not all that bad! […]
