This is the kind of book that I would never in a million years expect to work for me. It’s cliche, predictable, generic, and chock full of tropes…but I loved it! No one is more shocked than me to be completely honest. I usually hate the crazy hyped stuff that everyone loves, but this one? Well, there’s a reason for all the hype! The writing is superb! In the beginning when there wasn’t much happening, the writing was enough to keep me […]
I expected so, so much more from this. Here I am again, the black sheep – the ratings for this book on Goodreads are fantastic (seriously, WHERE are the 1 and 2 star reviews?!), and with it being a space book? I was sure I’d love it. Womp, womp. I remember exactly nothing about the plot or what happened in this book. I remember that the writing was super bland and the story was generic AF, like a million other […]
I wish I could simply enjoy the books that everyone else enjoys. *long suffering sigh* I mean, it wasn’t bad, it was just generic AF. Like every single other generic high fantasy book out there. I’ve read the same story a thousand times, and this one didn’t bring anything new to the table. There was literally nothing original in this book and nothing at all to stand out in my mind. The whole thing was entirely forgettable. I was actually enjoying […]
I never reviewed this way back when I read it, but I just discovered a half-assed review draft on the blog and thought I’d transfer it here. Cuz let’s face it, I’m never gonna actually write a real review *shrugs* I really enjoyed the movie, but when I saw it I was thinking to myself, “I read the book but I don’t remember ANY of this???” So I don’t know if they changed a lot or if my memory is […]
When I first saw this one, I passed. When everyone else was reading it, I passed. Why? Because I hate the cover. It’s awful!! Plus, it just doesn’t scream “dystopian” to me. It looks like a espionage-thriller kind of thing (in the vein of Heist Society), so I wasn’t even remotely interested. But, then I saw that book twin Ashley rated it 5 stars, and I actually read the synopsis. Hmm, sounds like a dystopian style Hatfields vs. McCoys story with forbidden love. […]
It took me a while to get into this one. To be honest, I didn’t really like it much at first and wasn’t sure I’d even be able to participate in the tour because I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish it. But I’m glad I did! The book improved vastly as it developed and I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I think this series has great potential. My main issue was the inability to connect. […]
