Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated The Rose Society in Books
Jan 23, 2020
GUYS. GUYS. GUYSSS. Fair warning.
This book. Is dark. Like really dark. It is not disturbing. It is just plain and downright darker than the pits of Hell and it can only get darker by the time the third book comes out.
Strangely, though, I really liked the sequel to The Young Elites – much better than the first one, though now I’m wondering if I would have liked it a lot more if I read the book rather than listening to the audio version. (I’ve always had a fondness for Adelina because helloooo. She is a villain. Villains are up my alley. The librarian spoke the truth.)

Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated Fifty Shades Darker in Books
Jan 12, 2020
I found myself having a really hard time getting through this novel! Having seen the movies and knowing what happens in this section of the trilogy, I still was fighting myself to finish. I read this and it's counterpart "Darker" at the same time to give myself a more comprehensive view of the story and that definitely helped - being able to know what Ana was doing when she was away from Christian and vice versa, but also being in both of their heads when they were together, having sex, fighting, whatever the situation may be. I still found "Darker" to be more compelling. I think Ana's strongest moment as a character, thus far in the series, is in this novel during her run-in with Hyde. I also greatly appreciated his character development from the beginning of the novel to the end. The excerpt given at the end of this novel is what makes reading "Fifty Shades Freed" so intriguing.
I said it in my review of "Darker" but I'm still angry that there isn't a third Christian point of view to match "Freed" but I'm still eager to round out this series and move on. I can't say I'll ever read them again, but I don't regret starting them, that's for sure.

A bit darker and more creepy
Still more awesome 80's vibe
Better than the first series
I finally got round to finishing the series, not much of a binge watcher. I really enjoyed it. The story and sub plots were very good. Great trip down memory lane to the 80's. Along with plenty of humour it's a great series.

Cool locations (2 more)
Very good cast
A bit darker and more gritty than the first two films
3rd times a charm
A great story and with a very talented cast make this very interesting. Throw in some good action scenes, stunning locations, cool gadgets and it has almost a Bond feel to it. My favourite in the series along with @mission impossible: Rogue Nation.

Starts to get darker/more adult themes (1 more)
The characterisation is good
This book is like the start of the end in a way - the ending is quite intense and gets the ball rolling for the main storyline in the final books. Definitely one of my favourites from the series. You can see the characters' personalities begin to develop properly as they grow up.
