4.5 stars — This book actually delighted me in quite a few ways. And I’m giving it a half star bump for great hockey depiction. I’m not an expert, but as someone who watches hockey quite a bit, it rang truer than most hockey books do. I was surprised by all that was lying in Josh’s […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — Bummer. This one started off really strong and I stayed up late reading it the first night. But then I got tired of the schtik of the plot, and I just wanted things to be cleared up. Ah well. This had a bit of a Cyrano de Bergerac retelling feel to it […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — Well, I went into this one with low expectations and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I mean, still not a huge Hannah fan, and that’s not just because of the voice and inflection that Ms. Munroe uses to narrate her. But I guess because I […]
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. […]
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 — Brooke was super thirsty!! I mean, it’s good that she’s not afraid of her own desires, but holy wow. There were plenty of moments where I was hesitant about Brooke’s actions, especially given Solin’s cryptic responses, and the appearance of the situation with Sophia. But then Brooke would get a conscience, and back […]
4.5 stars — Wow. It’s weird, I took longer to read this book than I expected…I kept coming back for tidbits. But now that I’m done, I’m sad I won’t be in this world with these characters anymore. Hence the bump up by half a star. Looks like I’m going to have to get the […]
