We are the tide. And we are rising. While I still enjoyed this one – it’s hard not to, with the lovely prose and amazing world – I had the same problem with this one that I did with Golden Son: Yet more politics and war strategy dominating the majority of this book. There was a good chunk in the middle that was downright boring because of that. I think some of that could have been condensed and the story […]
I am a child of hell, and I have spent too long in their heaven. My goodness. This book was SO slow. There was soooo much politics and war strategy throughout 75% of this book, and I was growing severely bored with it. The pace was extremely slow as compared to the first book. I was rather sad that it wasn’t as special as the first book was. Despite that, I was still intrigued by the premise. I love the hierarchy […]
I am right. He is wrong. I am the spark that will set the worlds afire. I am the hammer that cracks the chains. What the slag made me wait so gorydamn long to read this book?! This book was awesome! It totally took me by surprise. I’ve been seeing it around everywhere since it came out, have witnessed many readers raving about how amazing it is, and still I put off reading it. Why? I don’t even know. I guess […]
I’ve had this book forEVER, and I kept putting it off and putting it off…I don’t even know why! I really enjoyed In the After. I was really looking forward to this one. And I ended up enjoying this one almost just as much! I should have read it much sooner! I enjoyed being back in the world of In the After. I forgot how much of a badass Amy was! She didn’t take crap from anyone, and had no […]
I think this book had fabulous potential. The idea of it all was epic – in the future, books and reading are forbidden. How scary is that? I think Ashley Mansour was really onto something great here, because it speaks to the heart of every single one of us readers. A world without books is the worst kind of world we could possibly imagine! The concept really was brilliant. But there were a lot of issues I had with it that […]
I had been wanting to read this for a while, yet at the same time dreading it because while I was intrigued, I was pretty sure it wouldn’t be a me book. Actually, I was quite sure I was going to hate it, but curiosity about the hype eventually won out. Surprisingly, I didn’t hate it like I thought I would, but I wasn’t all that impressed, either. I felt very ‘meh’ about everything. I didn’t care about the characters or the […]
