4.5 stars — Quirky and fun and odd, but maybe a titch drawn out longer than I would have normally liked. This was a new narrator for me, and she was solid. She had a lot of qualities that reminded me of some of my favourite narrators — solid different voices, great pacing and emotions. […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — There wasn’t a single art style that didn’t wow me, I loved how different they all were…though I will admit that I was drawn to some more than others. Some stories were harder for me to get into, and I’m still not used to this medium I suppose. But there were […]
4.5 stars — Well that was hella affecting. The last 2 sections in particular had me crying and crying. What an intriguing way to show how the past can affect future generations, and how we can learn from them even as they are so different from our present. Beautiful artwork. I ached with the Scars […]
3 stars — I know I read in the back that it was based on a play, but I didn’t realize there was also a novel. Perhaps that format would be better. Unfortunately, while the art was wonderful, the story felt short and was lacking emotion and connection. It also read younger than I had […]
4 stars — *snort* I don’t think I realized this was a children’s graphic novel, and then I’m thinking “wow, this is reading really fast.” Not that it matters, I can read children’s books if I want to…it just amused me. I really enjoyed that it told a story that was fraught with a lot […]
3.5 stars — While I was intrigued by the plot and where it would go, in the end I wasn’t particularly attached to the characters, or the romance, which tends to be my bread and butter…and something I need to really push a book over the top. I both listened and read, though I only […]
4 stars — Devi was a fantastic change from the everyday. I loved her nerdy science loving self, and how passionate she was about learning. I both got her reticence with N’dek and didn’t…like, I got that she wanted to protect herself from hurt, but why she held on to the bizarre belief that Bridget was […]
4 stars — Well, that was me stepping WAYYYYYY outside my comfort zone. In multiple ways. First, I am wholeheartedly NOT a non-fiction reader. Like, I don’t gravitate towards it at all, and this might be the first voluntary non-fiction read of mine. It helped that it was also full of humour and satire, so […]
3.5 stars — I will admit I was a little bummed with this one. It was quick to read, as all of them are. It’s been awhile since I read any of the books in this series, so not sure if it’s me or the book — though I think it’s the book, and the […]
4.5 stars — Well this book lived up to the spookiness I was looking for without traumatizing me! Yay! I switched between reading and listening to this one, because while I LOVED Mr. Williams narration, honestly it scared me a bit more listening than reading and I just couldn’t paralyze myself in bed at night.
