I loooved Not a Drop to Drink. I gave it 4.5 heartbeats in my review (the link is below if you want to see it). I’m sad to say that this one didn’t quite live up to the first book. But, I did still enjoy it. The pacing was a tad painful at first. I had a lot of trouble getting into it, despite how excited I was to read it. It didn’t start picking up until after 35%, but after that […]
While this one didn’t necessarily wow me, I did really love the concept! That was by far my favorite part. I could picture everything clearly, and I thought the world building was spot on. It was so easy to imagine the world in Elusion. This would make a great movie! I think the characters were the downfall for me in this book. I never really cared much about what was happening to them, and they didn’t feel very realistic. They […]
“Do you love me?”He spoke without hesitation, without the usual line of thought between his eyes. “Infinitely.” What a fabulous end to a unique trilogy! I must confess that the beginning was a little slow for me. I had a little trouble getting into it…then the dragons made an appearance, and I was hooked! I love the world in the Newsoul series. It’s very original, and Jodi does a great job at bringing it to life! It was even better in […]
Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. With all of the hype and the negativity surrounding the final installment of the Divergent series, I was kind of afraid to read it! I can’t really say it lived up to the hype, and I wasn’t blown away by it, but I still enjoyed it. Tris improved greatly in this one. In Insurgent, she pissed me off so badly that I […]
Insurgent. Noun. A person who acts in opposition to the established authority, who is not necessarily regarded as a belligerent. While I still mostly enjoyed this one, it was overall kind of meh for me. Now that I’ve finished it, the book is already fading away. It won’t stick with me or leave a lasting impression. The feeling (or lack thereof) I got from this book probably didn’t deserve a 3 heartbeat rating, but I did enjoy it while I […]
This is not the first time I’ve read this book; I read it back in 2011 when it first came out. I liked it the first time, but it didn’t wow me. I probably would have given it 3-3.5 stars. That was before I started blogging, and I remembered next to nothing, so it was almost like reading it for the first time again. I was never really on the Divergent bandwagon with all of the crazed fans, but with […]
