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 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! […]

While I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as I enjoyed Paranormalcy, it was still a cute and fun read. There wasn’t really much happening plot-wise, but the humor made up for it. There was one span of about 20 pages where I was constantly smiling or giggling (coincidentally, that was when I was reading in public…). I love a book that can make me laugh, and humor earns major brownie points for me. I had a hard time […]

This makes twice that I’ve read this one, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time! I re-read it because I wanted to read Endlessly and it’s been so long since I read the first two that I forgot basically everything. But as I was reading, I found it all coming back to me. It kept me from being surprised in many places, because I knew what was going to happen; but I think as a new reader, […]

I love mythology. A lot. And although I haven’t read up on the Persephone myth all that much, it fascinates me. I was sure I was going to love this. So sure. Perhaps I set my expectations sky high, or perhaps there was too much hype for this book, but I was extremely disappointed. My main problem? Kate. I couldn’t stand her. She was alright in the first half or so, average and nothing special to speak of…but not necessarily irritating, […]
