“You don’t have to be good. You just have to be better than the bad you’ve done.” So, I really thought (and hoped) that I would love this book more. It wasn’t bad or anything, I just found it overall mediocre and was expecting a lot more. I actually started this book on audio – my preferred format – and for some reason I could NOT focus on it to save my life. I kept zoning out and having to […]
While this book didn’t necessarily stick with me, the concept was awesome! DRAGONADORS!! Like matadors, but with dragons! Fucking awesome, dude. It was unlike anything I’ve ever read before! I adored the dragon parts of this story and appreciated the Spanish culture, but the emotion was just not there for me. I would have liked to have connected to the characters and the story much more than I did. Especially considering there were dragons! The romance didn’t do it for […]
This is not typically something I would actively choose to pick up, as I am not a big fan of Historical Fiction; but the reviews are so good and everyone raves about it, so I thought I’d give it a try. I wanted so badly to love this one like everyone else did. However, despite the heartbreaking content of this book, the emotion was just not there for me. And it absolutely should have been. I found the writing and characters […]
This story was BEAUTIFUL!! This is probably one of the most unique books I’ve read in some time. I absolutely loved the world – I wanted to crawl into the pages and live there, it’s so magical! The cover is stunning and the story inside absolutely matches the cover. The fast pacing makes this book a quick and easy read, and the enchanting quality of the story keeps you turning pages. I gobbled this story up! You don’t know very […]
For me this is one of those books that you enjoy for the most part while reading, but don’t ever think about again after you finish. It was good, not great (just like her Lunar Chronicles were for me personally). Honestly, it kind of felt like a rip off of both The Boys and Steelheart. It didn’t particularly have anything super unique as far as superheroes & villains go to bring to the table. I also didn’t care much for […]
Despite feeling rather apathetic about Daughter of the Pirate King, I had high hopes for this one. Vikings!! Norse mythology!!! But sadly, it didn’t work for me much at all. Just like DotPK, I found the writing style to be very juvenile, and it just grated on my nerves. Plot-wise it feels generic and shallow, just like DotPK. I think maybe Tricia Levenseller is just not for me. :( I loved the concept and the world, didn’t give a crap […]
