Review:I would love to know how the story ends! Fun read, same interesting characters. Feels a little "drawn out" at times, but I'm sure all the new characters will play their role. Getting a little far-fetched, but I have already agreed to suspend my belief for Ms. Stiefvater in this series so I'm ready to just go with it. Read more
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
Review:The Scorpio Races is an absolutely breathtaking book. Puck and Sean are both incredibly alive; I never felt like they were just characters on a page. Every background character had that sense of life.
I’m pretty sure we’re all familiar with the magic of Maggie Stiefvater’s writing; The Scorpio Races is no exception. Every part of this book, especially Thisby, the island Puck and Sean live on, breathes with every page turn.
I LOVED The Scorpio Races. Much like The Raven Cycle, it re... Read more
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
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
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
Review:This book brings The Seeker and Mother Confessor back together after the prophecies kept them moving in different directions. There is lots of action and fast paced storytelling going on here. I highly recommend this book. Read more
Review:A good experiance. We ordered used books and they were obviously used but in plenty good enough condition. Communication with the seller was good and the books arrived in good time. We are pleased with the transaction. Read more
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
Review:First off, I was a huge fan of Goodkind with his first four books. Then Soul of the Fire and Faith of the Fallen came out and they were okay, but since then, with emphasis on the two most recent, he has turned to an author that I merely read because I have invested so much time and money into it already.
Three things: One, does he really need to wax philosophically every time a character opens his/her mouth? On the same note, how is it possible that every character is an expert in ever... Read more
