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 story was so twisted! Which usually I would like, but I couldn’t bring myself to care about Selene. I didn’t really like her much, either. She claims to love Bartie and she’s pining for him, but as soon as Luthor comes around, she forgets about Bartie pretty quickly. She kisses Luthor even though she barely knows him. I feel like things were rushed, but that was probably only because this is such a short novella. I do like that […]
It was very interesting to see things from Ben’s POV! I loved him already, but being in his head made me love him even more. At just about every significant moment in my life, she was there. Whether she knew it or not. The way Ben sees Janelle was incredible. He’s actually quite obsessed with her, but for some reason it was endearing rather than creepy. He changes his schedule so he can be in class with her, stands up […]
These Broken Stars is kinda like Shades of Earth meets Titanic, and it’s unlike anything else I’ve read. The world building was by far my favorite part of this book! I loved the feel of the story, and the planet’s energy-based life forms. Their abilities were fascinating! This is a hell I’ve never imagined. And I think I’m going to die here. I didn’t care much for Lilac in the beginning. She’s a spoiled rich brat who’s lived a frilly life without […]
Each time he saw his reflection as of late, he no longer recognized the moth in the mirror. He was incomplete, broken; and he despised it. First of all, I love Morpheus. It’s no secret that he’s one of my favorite book boyfriends (only second to Warner of course). So of course I was going to love this one. I’m surprised by how much I did love it, though, because I’m not usually a fan of novellas. I loved being […]
