I liked the characters at first, but the whole story seemed to become too dramatic to stand properly. The characters became too stupid for me to like and fake deaths are also just not my cup of tea. I liked the relationship the book had with beauty, but The plot got in the way for me. I unfortunately went into this expecting a calmer love story.
