You know what’s worse than intense dislike for a book? Intense apathy. I’m a weak reader for rebels and revolution, but unfortunately Gilded Cage fall under the “miss” category for me. With all those high ratings and wonderful feedback, I hope my review will share a bit of information that you won’t find in the […]
Pandemonium, that’s what. Mimosa has grown up surrounded by plants and aromas – basic components of aromateurs, who use their heightened sense of smell to direct the way of people falling in love. However, with that power comes rules that Mim will see inevitably broken throughout the course of this book. From the very beginning, […]
So I think I know what this author was going for when writing the book. I mean, come on, people spontaneously combusting? Sounds like a wild ride with plenty of character introspection and growth. When I started Spontaneous, I was ready to find an underrated gem that not many people know of. What I got […]
I didn’t finish this book, but not because it was bad! It wasn’t particularly annoying, frustrating, or frightening. Hear me out! One of the biggest reasons is my mood, and I guess my propensity against these kind of books. When I first read the blurb, I thought it would be a fun thrill or mystery, […]
Gorgeous writing with characters that make your heart ache and a lush storyline exploring humility, empathy, and love, Anne-Marie McLemore yet again writes a book that just tugged on my heartstrings. I really adored her previous book The Weight of Feathers, and this one was just as good. When the Moon Was Ours blends magical […]
I’m so glad I decided to pick this book up! The plot really kept me on my toes, and the characters were such a delight to read about. For me, the characters of a story are what makes or breaks the book, and the ones in this book were just fantabulous. Written in alternating first […]
After my terrible experience with this author’s book Beautiful Disaster (in which I DNF’d before getting to the halfway mark), I decided to give this one a try. I went into it trying not to dislike it, and the beginning turned out alright. The more I read it, however, the more I began to want […]
Anddd we have another Snow White retelling to add to our shelves! I’d recommend to read this with a fresh, open mind, considering the multiplicity of fairy tale retellings set in science fiction settings. This one still remains highly original and has characters and plots that are unique to itself, despite the seemingly similar backgrounds […]
The premise of this book, which is a YA retelling of A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens, features the conflicting sides of light versus dark. The winning factor of it all, in my opinion, is my YAWN, which is ultimately why I could not go on with this book. I’ve sectioned out the main factors […]
