I think everyone knows by now how much I hate historical. I went into this expecting a fantasy. I knew it had a historical aspect, but I didn’t think it would be overpowering. Let me repeat: I thought this was a fantasy. It is NOT a fantasy. In fact, there’s really nothing fantasy about this book at all aside from Leah’s ability to witch gold. This is a historical all the way. But, surprisingly, that didn’t ruin it for me. […]
What a fabulous concept! I think that was the driving point of this novel for me. I highly enjoyed the world and all of the monsters. I also loved the Hunters and the fact that they had a celebrity status – all of the costumes and colors reminded me a bit of the way the Jaeger pilots were portrayed in the beginning of Pacific Rim! This book was certainly cinematic – it would be awesome as a movie! There was […]
ABOUT TIME, RIGHT?! *coughs* Yeah, it took me long enough, I know. Honestly though, I’d seen all of the movies, so I knew the gist of it (yes, I know, books always have more detail than the movies), so I had no desire to read them. I’ve been meaning to forever, I just…couldn’t bring myself to. Until finally, I drew it from my TBR jar! I’m going to be honest, I had actually tried reading this a couple years ago – […]
I have been putting this book of for ages! And with everyone raving about it, I was afraid I wouldn’t like it. Thankfully I didn’t dislike it, but I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The pacing was terribly slow, and there wasn’t much happening AT ALL. Throughout the entire story. I felt like nothing really happened. While I did kind of love Po (even though his name is pretty lame), I didn’t connect to the characters very well. Katsa […]
I love that Ali and Cole are finally at an understanding in this book. All of the arguing and hot and cold BS they had going in the last book drove me crazy!! They finally look out for each other, and Cole realizes Ali’s strength. He doesn’t hold her back. I loved that they worked together! The shit hit the fan in this book! There was never a dull moment, and I enjoyed the action and danger around every turn. […]
What a satisfying end to an adorable series! It’s been a long time since I read the second book, but I was thrilled to jump back into this magical world. I absolutely LOVE the magic in this book! It seemed like Dusty and Eli’s relationship was always difficult. If it wasn’t one thing getting in between them, it was another. I loved that they still stayed strong despite it all, though! They didn’t give up on each other. I adore […]
