And overall, I just loved how engaging and addicting this book was.I loved the social hierarchy and, as always, seeing privileged people in power doing what is right alongside the people who are lacking strong voices.I absolutely loved the tie-in with Greek mythology surrounding Adonis, Aphrodite, and Ares! It is probably the thing I’m looking most forward to in The Mime Order.There was no shock value or inappropriate questions, it was just accepted, and I loved it. I loved the surprise of one of the characters being gay, and the amazing and normal reaction from the other characters.I loved how Samantha Shannon proved very easily that she is not scared to kill off her characters, and continued to prove it throughout the book.
“He was the single most beautiful and terrible thing I’d ever laid eyes on.” I loved the strong female lead and I love her empathetic and understanding love interest that completely diverted away from the masters and slave trope that it could have very easily became.Maybe it was just me, maybe you’ll go into this feeling confident about all the different umbrella terms, but it was actually difficult for me, and would sometimes make me feel like I was studying, rather than reading for enjoyment.īut everything else? Everything else was amazing: You see this chart before chapter one, but you don’t realize how much you actually need this chart until all these different clairvoyant names start getting thrown at you, and it is the only reference you have to help you not feel completely ignorant. This book was so addicting, yet so unnecessarily long for me! Which is even more absurd to say, because so much of this world building was difficult to comprehend you’d think that the extra length would be helpful, but it wasn’t.
