I’m going to be honest, Cress annoyed the crap out of me. Out of all three of the main characters introduced in this series so far, she is by far my least favorite (with my favorite being Scarlet, of course). She was so naive, and annoying, and immature – I mean, I understand she’s been locked away for a long time, but…ugh. I can only handle so much, okay? Her constant daydreams started grating on my nerves. Not so much the […]
Tricked by gorgeous cover yet again. *sighs* With the lovely cover and intriguing synopsis, I was sure this was going to be a “me” book. Sadly, it wasn’t. It ended up just being a major letdown, I’m afraid. Honestly, I’ve already forgotten 90% of this book after a few weeks. Thank goodness I took notes! (I should have reviewed this much sooner, obviously. But still.) It wasn’t memorable at all, and definitely didn’t leave any kind of lasting impression on […]
Thorne reminded me sooo much of Flynn Rider!! (So obviously, I loved him immediately.) Scarlet was so awesome! She is definitely my favorite of the series (I read Cress before writing this review). I loved her snark! She was also fiercely loyal to her friends. I absolutely loved that Scarlet defended Cinder before she met her! The best part of this book was definitely everyone coming together, because it’s what I was waiting for the whole book. The wolf hybrids […]
Oh jeez, this book is going to be very hard to rate. As you can see from my Overall Assessment breakdown, I was very torn on ratings. While the idea, the plot, the world, and the originality were great; the writing style, characters, and feels were not so great. Pretty bad, in fact. In the beginning the book mostly just annoyed me (sometimes straight ticked me off), but it did get better toward the end. My main issue was that […]
Eve and Adam was a bit strange at times, but I loved the writing style because it was quirky and engaging. There was humor at frequent intervals (and some innuendos) and the prose held my interest even when there wasn’t really anything exciting happening. It was fairly short, so it was a quick and easy read. Evening was a solid lead. She was smart and witty and there was nothing she did in the book to annoy me, which is […]
I wanted to finish this one. I really did. Because it’s very similar to Stephen King’s The Mist and I loved that movie (didn’t read the book though). But, the prose was such a train wreck that I couldn’t even focus on what was happening anymore. Be warned, this may get ugly. The beginning started out pretty good, with some (fairly) well done 2nd person. The first paragraph (as seen above in the synopsis) was very catching, with the exception of […]
