All the Crooked Saints
All the Crooked Saints

Review:(My rating is really 3.5 stars, this is the only time I’ve wanted half stars on Amazon!) I’ve loved everything I’ve read by Stiefvater, so I was really looking forward to this. The writing was magnificent, as usual, but I just didn’t feel very invested in the story until the last third of the book. Definitely worth a shot, but not quite my thing! Read more

The Wicked Deep

Review:“The knowing of what’s coming, the death that creeps up over the town like fate clawing at the door of every shop and home. I can feel it in the air, in the spray of the sea, in the hollow spaces between raindrops. The sisters are coming.”

This book took me forever to read. Honestly, it was less than a week, but it felt like forever. And my trend of becoming more disinterested as I read continued here unfortunately. The Wicked Deep showcases how small town secrets and a little bit of dang... Read more

The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle)

Review:This book has the lowest rating (by me) so far in this series. Well, relatively speaking of-course, because 4 is still a pretty good rating in my world. And really there is only one reason for the lower rating - according to me, this book goes overboard with its focus on Ronan, to the detriment of everyone else, and also takes a detour from the main plot line.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ronan. I actually like him - a lot, and this wasn't an irrelevant detour either. It does add t... Read more

Iron Gold: A Red Rising Novel (Red Rising Series)

Review:This book was a disappointment. I enjoyed the first three quite a bit. The protagonist's story was compelling and the author is talented. But this one changes Darrow's first-person narrative to multiple points of view from new characters that should not have been introduced so late in the series. It's still good writing, but the author should have started a new series or spin-off rather than leading us to believe this fourth installment would be similar to the first three. I am reluctant to... Read more

A Novel (Winternight Trilogy) - The Bear and the Nightingale

Review:I’m not a huge fan of fairytale retellings so this one was a gamble for me. Vasya was a relatable main character but by the end I found myself so distant from the story I didn’t care like I wanted too. Over all I enjoyed the story and finished it rather quickly but I don’t think I’ll pick up the sequel. The world is beautifully written but I hate the cold so I never would actually want to visit. Maybe I’d have enjoyed it more in spring... Read more

Faith of the Fallen (Sword of Truth, Book 6)

Review:Those of you who have read Stone of Tears will think this new novel sounds vaguely familiar. In my opinion, it is a copy of Stone of Tears. First, Richard and Kahlan are together and happy, then a Sister comes along and forces Richard to come with her. Sound familiar? Then, she takes him back to the Old World while Kahlan joins up with a Midlands army and leads a battle against the Imperial Order(again, familiar?) I don't want to spoil key events and the end for those of you who wish to read... Read more
