Furyborn by Claire Legrand
Twitter summary: Two queens, one evil and one good… The good: Remy. The bad: Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this book at all and struggled to finish it. Rielle and Eliana’s stories are set 1,000 years apart and it was torture to try to figure out what was happening in each timeline. Favourite aspect ofContinue reading “Furyborn by Claire Legrand”
A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer
Twitter summary: The curse is broken (Book 1) but with the true heir of Emberfall now known, enemy lines are being drawn. The good: I love Grey. That’s all. I have always been more intrigued by Grey’s story than Rhen’s. I was loudly cheering for Lia Mara when she says “I told you I couldContinue reading “A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer”
City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
Twitter summary: Clary, the teenaged girl, continues acting like a child while venturing to Idris against Jace’s wishes. The good: I truly struggled to finish reading this book. I got to chapter 8 and that’s when I rapidly lost interest. Let me move onto the next point because I didn’t enjoy anything about the book.Continue reading “City of Glass by Cassandra Clare”
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
Twitter summary: Sister and brother (and their team) try to escape* from their evil father. The good: Clary’s development – slowly but surely she is shedding her young helpless shell and growing into the protagonist role. She still has miles to go but I’m starting to get on board with her character (with the exceptionContinue reading “City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare”
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
Twitter summary: Sworn enemies meet and must navigate a difficult situation while slowly falling in love. The good: I appreciated how Mahurin revealed each aspect of the plot and character development bit by bit. There wasn’t an overindulgence of superfluous details nor an annoying drawn out love triangle. Lou and Reid’s love story captured myContinue reading “Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin”
Unboxing: House of Earth and Blood Authored Signed
On one Friday at 12pm, I diligently logged onto a website to order my copy House of Earth and Blood that would be virtually signed by the one and only Sarah J. Maas! From my book review posted here, you can read that I was beyond excited to read the book (I purchased the e-bookContinue reading “Unboxing: House of Earth and Blood Authored Signed”
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Twitter summary: Girl goes clubbing, witnesses a murder and is pulled into a fantasy world while trying to save her mother. The good: Another fantasy world commingling all the usual suspects. Clare has done a fabulous job setting up the storyline for the series… The bad: …but I felt the book was lacking the “gripping,Continue reading “City of Bones by Cassandra Clare”
House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas
Twitter summary: Bound by blood. Tempted by desire. Unleashed by destiny. Twitter summary 2 (because I couldn’t stop myself): Through love, all is possible. The good: I don’t know where to begin: the characters, this world, the details, Sarah J. Maas, Bryce, Hunt, Danika, Ruhn, the heart-pounding romance, the forever friendships, kick-ass angels, wings (aContinue reading “House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas”
