Yes, I admired her bravery and ability to keep pushing on despite her fears and being surrounded by literal monsters. Just like in book one, I didn’t really like her character much more in this one (although I didn’t hate her). TWK is once again told from Jude’s perspective and only her perspective. It takes a lot for me to enjoy a story when I don’t connect with the characters, but I kept plodding along because I wanted to know if my opinion would change. And let me tell you, it’s underwhelming to not feel for the characters especially when there’s a lot that happens to and around them - betrayals, chemistry, scheming, fights etc. I liked the story, I thought the characters were interesting, but I also found myself not really caring about what happened to them, especially Jude. I think the main reason was the lack of connection to the characters and I realised the same thing when reading TWK. I was a little underwhelmed when I re-read TCP earlier this year, especially with all the hype surrounding the series. 3.5 stars for that pre-epilogue ending! And just when I thought that things were turning around and I’d like this newly established alliance, that ending had to go and happen! I’m shook but also angry? But also, I get it too? This seems to have really messed with my feelings (of which I thought I didn’t have many of for this series) □
