4 stars — Fuck me, that ending. It’s both perfect given the genre and style, and drives me fucking mad. Sorry, I needed to get that out. If anyone fan fictions an extra epilogue, please let me know… Just like the first book in this series, this one had a great atmosphere that really got […]
4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!! This was sooooo good! It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written! What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — and maybe part of the reason I rate it so highly is that I wasn’t sure if I would like this book. I had it on my wishlist a long time ago b/c of a giveaway I entered, so by the time it went on sale and I got it […]
3.5 stars — Hmmm…there were a lot of interesting things in this book, and after reading the author’s note at the end, I actually have a more interesting perspective on the book. But, all the same, I found it hard to get into the story at times, the pacing felt…not quite right to me. And […]
4.5 stars — Oh look, another strange disjointed thoughts review…you’re welcome. Very atmospheric. I could imagine the world and the people and the mythology. Loved the whole existence of Gods, but not really present as much anymore. I enjoyed the narrator — found it was one of those rare books that I enjoyed reading and […]
4.5 stars — Oh wow. So apparently I didn’t write my review, I just thought dumped. And you know what? I’m leaving it. Cause it amuses me. You’re welcome internet. Jalal! NOOOO. Did not like. Rahim!! NOOOOO!!! Loved Irsa, especially as a fellow mouse. Was a bit slow at times, but picked up when Khalid […]
3 stars — After reading Sherwood, I was super excited to read another retelling by Ms. Spooner. And as a fan of Beauty and the Beast, I kind of figured this would be a sure thing. But I wonder if being a fan kind of ended up as a hindrance instead, you know? Because I […]
4.5 stars — I was daunted by this book…I don’t know why, I so wanted to read it. But I just kept putting it off. Thank god for buddy reading, it was just the push I needed to get started. I did try the audio first, b/c I wanted to know how to pronounce things…but […]
4 stars — OMG emotionally draining. This book had an ending that was both perfect and slightly unsatisfying…but maybe just for me. It left me feeling very conflicted, b/c the ending fit the story, but I kept wanting something else…but I would have been disappointed if I’d gotten that something else. The narration was fucking […]
