4.5 stars — I’m always wary of prequels. Will they live up? Will they fundamentally change the character? This one was spectacular. We got to see a much different Viv, but the fundamentals are still the same. And not only that, we got to see glimmers of her changing into the Viv we meet in […]
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 — Uh oh. This is going to be one of those reviews. I genuinely don’t know how to write this one, because I’m still sitting over hear absorbing it…and recovering from a crying headache, that was probably worse than it should have been but what can I say? I’m on my period. I […]
3.5 stars — This one had some really fun moments, but in the end it was just too long and didn’t maintain a good pace for the whole thing. Faith was an okay heroine — she had some fun sass, and I appreciated how she didn’t treat Aron differently just because he was a God. […]
4.5 stars — Wow. This was everything I didn’t know I was needing. I found myself smiling in absolute delight about a gagillion times in this book, and that was just…perfection. The funny thing is, there wasn’t some epic adventure in this story. It was just this delightful tale of characters trying to be something […]
4 stars — This review is going to be a bit lacklustre and all over the place, but I’m leaving it as I wrote it after reading. Read it while I was sick, might have affected my enjoyment because I couldn’t read it in a short period of time. The pacing felt a little slow […]
4.5 stars — Well wasn’t that all that and a bag of chips! This is technically my 3rd time reading this book, though it has changed over that time. I think this final copy is just about perfect: it has humour, action, suspense, mystery, great friendships, and a splash of romance. Tessana is everything I […]
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 […]
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 stars — Well this was a fun and quirky retelling…not that, I will admit, I know ANYTHING about the story of Thumbelina. I really should look it up. But regardless of knowing very little of the original story, I loved the story that was told in this book. I kind of loved how both […]
