I love mythology! To be honest though, I didn’t really know anything about Norse mythology except what I saw in the movie Thor. Sad, I know. But I think that increased my enjoyment of Valkyrie Rising in the long run, because I got to learn a few things about Valkyries! It started off a bit slow, but I didn’t get bored because the mythology was enough to keep me interested. I had a bit of trouble connecting with the story at […]
What a beautiful story! It was desperate and emotional with a lyrical and captivating prose. I liked Eva, and I felt bad for her. All her life she’d been trained to be somebody else, never really getting to just be herself. How awful would that be? Imagine not being about to do anything you want to do. You have to like certain things, do certain things, just because your Other does. If your Other gets a bad haircut, or a […]
Although I don’t read it much, I thoroughly enjoy high fantasy. And my first thought upon opening this book? OHMIGAWD A MAP!! It’s sad how thrilled I was to see it. I just hate reading high fantasy where all those made-up place names are thrown at me and I have no way of getting a visual. So right away this book earned brownie points with me! Celaena was a great lead. She was kick-ass and strong, yet she was still […]
I read almost all of this in one night…not exactly by choice: My Digital Editions copy was expiring, haha. But it was a pretty quick and easy read. Let’s get the things I didn’t like out of the way first. My main issue? The characters. I didn’t connect the way I hoped: In fact, I didn’t connect at all. My major complaint was the switching views. Normally I love it, because you can see different perspectives of the same story. But […]
I still didn’t quite feel the magic that Paranormalcy had, but Endlessly was nonetheless a good ending to a cute and fun trilogy! I didn’t love Evie as much as I did in Paranormalcy, but she didn’t get under my skin like she did in Supernaturally. Even so, I found her rather selfish. Don’t get me wrong, I can understand why she didn’t want to help the paranormals, and I’m sure it would be frustrating to have your decisions made for you. […]
Once you see Them, they’ll never leave you alone. They’ll never let you go. First of all, I absolutely LOVE anything Iron Fey. And while this was technically a different series, it still had all the characters that I fell in love with in the original series. It was so exciting waiting for them all to make an appearance! They didn’t have much of a part, as it is a story primarily about Ethan, but it was enough for me! […]
