Lol the love square was kind of annoying...Helene gets so much better in the next few books, and I honestly thought Elias went downhill as the series progressed lol.

Sofia (sofloaf) I would die for the first two books. The third book was worse, and the last book was a complete dumpster fire. It was awful. would not recommend

The third book was probably my least favorite. I found Elias as the (view spoiler) really boring. It was kind of repetitive every time the book was written in his perspective.

I agree. It was all (view spoiler) And it erased all his character development

Wow. That's hard. I adore the plot of AEITA because it's just so perfect, but ATATT is just stunning. I think I would have to reread to know for sure. (I've already read the first three three times each oops)

I agree, the plot twist in ATATT was so crazy, but the pacing in AEITA was really good. And Elias was actually interesting in the first two books XD.

I've only read the series once lol. I actually find it cool that you have time to reread them XD.


message 13: by Sofia (new)

Sofia (sofloaf) I read them first a few years ago, and then reread a few years after that, and it's been a couple years. I really need to pick them up again.

Ohh, I actually read them quite recently I think sometime in October lol. You should pick them up again. :) Well at least the first two lol.

You should get it as soon as you can. :)


message 17: by Connor (new)

Connor (catchthesewords) I enjoyed the first book, loved the second one, absolutely adored the third book with my whole soul (apart from Elias's chapters) and was furious at the last one. I'm still glad I read the series though.

I feel like Reaper being my favourite is a controversial opinion because lots of people don't like it though.

Oh, I agree with you! Elias's chapters were quite repetitive.
We all have different opinions! I liked Reaper, but I absolutely despised Elias in that book lol.
