There were definitely things I liked about this one, but I just couldn't get into it like the last book.

Although I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first book, I still applaud the author for a creative world, plot, and characters.

Still hoping this series gets better, and still assuming that part of my dislike is just from translation.

I definitely enjoyed this one more than Cinder and can't wait to see which fairy tale the next book follows!

I'm not sure... it's just not holding my interest. Too much repetition that lead to a lengthy book and characters that just fall flat.

Over the years, I have taken a ridiculous amount of Psychology courses (it being my major) and have always been fascinated by different theories, but this one caught my attention almost immediately during one of my Social Psychology courses in undergraduate. We didn't even go through the theory in depth, my professor just mentioned it in passing talking about the Psychology of Love and the current research. I fell in love with the theory of love.

I've had this one on my shelf for a while, but for some reason I could never bring myself to pick it up. I think it was because this book is so widely known and affiliated with rape, and I wasn't sure if I could handle it. But I did, and it was interesting.

Once again, I'm conflicted.
 
I feel like I would have liked the story more if the ending were different, or even if the main battle/point of conflict lasted more than 3 pages.
