When Books Make You Throw Them

February 22, 2016 by ModernLove 2 Comments

Late last year I read the first book in Aveyard’s series about a young girl with extraordinary abilities. Because this is the sequel, there will be spoilers for the first book. If you plan on picking up this series (and I recommend doing that), then I would skip this review and go right to reading! Mare has such a fun story, one that I think greatly improved with this second book. I thought this was only a two-book series, and when I got to the end of this one, I almost threw it across the room (except not, because it was an e-book, and I like my computer too much). It was only later that I realized Mare’s story would continue and I (and she) would get another chance at a better ending.

    I’m glad to hear the series improves with the sequel — the first one frustrated me but I still want to find out what happens!

      I hope you’ll enjoy it! This one wasn’t perfect, but it felt more tightly plotted and put together. It moved very quickly (or maybe I just couldn’t put it down.)
