Review: Death Sworn by Leah Cypess

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 22, 2014 | 12 Comments

This is a hard review to write, because this book inspired absolutely nothing for me. No emotion, no interest, nothing. Overall, this book was just ‘meh.’ Maybe even less than that. It’s not that I hated it, but I didn’t really like it either. This book was just….there. It won’t leave a lasting impression and I probably won’t remember anything about it a month down the road. Honestly, it was a struggle to finish it. The characters were flat and I couldn’t […]

Review: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

I wasn’t a big fan of Shadow and Bone. I was the black sheep on that one. I was hoping that Siege and Storm would blow the first book out of the water and I would love it, like everyone else did. Sadly, I was wrong. It was exactly the same for me as Shadow and Bone was: Meh. I did fare a bit better with all of the foreign/made up terms in this one, because there was a map and […]

Review: Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

I loved Throne of Glass, and I must say Crown of Midnight was even better! It was intense and heartbreaking, packed with lies and betrayals and shocks at every turn. “I didn’t really snore, did I?” His face was utterly serious as he said, “Like a bear.” The banter I adored between Calaena and Chaol in the first book was present in the sequel. And Chaol was totally jealous of Archer, it was adorable! I was Team Chaol all the way before, […]

Review: Poison by Bridget Zinn

I had been reeeaaally looking forward to this one. In fact, it was one of my most anticipated spring releases. And after seeing many gushing reviews from friends and blogs I follow, I was sure I’d love it. I’m sad to say that I was highly disappointed. It probably also didn’t help that I had just read it after an amazing book (Eternity Cure). Either way, my expectations were just set far too high. My first issue: The prose. It was […]

Wings of Tavea Blog Tour: Review, Guest Post, & GIVEAWAY

If you didn’t already know, I looove high fantasy. There’s just something about it that pulls me in! So I was pretty sure going in that I was going to enjoy this one. And enjoy it, I did! The world building was what sold me on this one. I want to burrow into Devri’s imagination and live there! (you know, in a totally non-creepy way….) She is fabulous at drawing you in, and it was easy for me to picture […]
