It was a very strange book, but one I still can't stop thinking about. <br /><br />"I like that she's not this perfect pristine princess, but that she's a complex, conflicted character." YES. I love that Nyx was not perfect and flawless, and actually really cruel, but in an understandable way. She was unique and interesting that way.<br /><br />Like you said, Ignifex is a wonderful love interest. Shade on the other hand, creeped me out. And "holy mindfuck" is the best way to describe this story because I still don't know what to think of it. And I agree with Alexa when I say that while Cruel Beauty is no favorite of mine, it was definitely unique, and I admire the author for it.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169574717441851611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-27581099459183781912014-02-14T18:35:41.052-05:002014-02-14T18:35:41.052-05:00Ohh awesome post!

I found parts of it quite overwhelming and confusing too, but I did like the obvious creativity behind a lot of the concepts. It's certainly a book that stands out. :) Great joint review, ladies!Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-82006756508448020812014-02-14T15:19:20.961-05:002014-02-14T15:19:20.961-05:00I loved seeing all of your reactions together!
