![]() ![]() I loved the ending-there were definitely sad elements, but I loved the strength Aria shows and her resolve to work towards a better future. I am such a romantic, and to have this futuristic Romeo and Juliet type of story was just perfect for me. ![]() There were times I wished I could have just jumped into the story to tell her what was really going on! I loved discovering the truth right along with her, although I did suspect what was happening before she did. There had to be more behind her memory loss than how things seemed. I knew something fishy was going on with Aria's memory. The spires full of mystic power were so neat, and as I read I could picture them outside Aria's window. I loved the descriptions of the Aeries and the Depths. The setting and imagery were simply outstanding. With a dash of magic! With all of those elements, the story could have gotten heavy or chaotic, but Lawrence did an awesome job weaving a story that I simply could not put down. ![]() Not only was Mystic City a great dystopian read, it was also a political thriller of sorts, as well as a retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Oh, this was a great read! I confess that I requested it from NetGalley due to the cover alone: I read the summary but it was the cover that hooked me. ![]()
