This one dragged a bit in the beginning for me, but around page 100 or so – when Bryn opens her mind to the pack – it really picked up and from then on, the rest of the book flew by. Bryn was only 15, but had a mature voice. I felt as if it was a bit too mature at times – and really, what kind of 15-year-old uses words like obfuscation, eschewed, and impertinent? I don’t mind big […]
I’ve been wanting to read this series for a while…and this isn’t the first time I’ve read Witchling. But, it was a loooong time ago and I had pretty much forgotten everything – except that I enjoyed it – so it was almost like reading it again for the first time. It’s a world I love to live in; exciting and magical, filled with all sorts of fantasy creatures imaginable! That was my favorite part: Meeting all of the vamps, […]
The hardest reviews to write are for books that didn’t inspire much of anything in me either way – love or hate. This was one of those. It was good, but not great. It was a quick and light read and I don’t regret reading it, but I don’t think I would read it again. I had mixed feelings about Dana. She was an alright lead, but she annoyed me at times. First of all, she was selfish. She ran […]
Remember what I said about CoFA? How the plot was more of teen angst and relationship drama than danger and action? Well, the same goes for CoLS, except throw in a little sexual tension. That seemed to be all that the first half of the book was about. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Mortal Instruments. Still do. But it has gone downhill since City of Glass. I still enjoyed this book, but found myself a bit bored at […]
This review is a lot harder to write than the previous three. I will always love the world of the Shadowhunters, but in a way, I felt like this series would have been perfect if it could have just been left as a trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, I still thoroughly enjoyed CoFA. Although, I think I enjoyed it more the first time I read it. The second time through, it was much more obvious that there wasn’t much of […]
Did I mention I love this series? Being the second time through, I’m amazed it can still affect me like it does. The world of the Mortal Instruments is SO ADDICTING. When I wasn’t reading it, I wanted to be. And it’s the kind of book that you just can’t help but think about – it’s been the main thing occupying my thoughts this past week. I’ve been reading the series consecutively, not reading anything else in between to break […]
