4.5 stars — I actually was a bit wary of this book and Violet and Nico’s love story, but after reading it I have decided that all my trust shall be placed in this author! In the previous two books, these characters have such a contentious relationship, and I wasn’t sure what the past was […]
3.5 stars — I read this in a boxed set, so didn’t have the updated 10th anniversary editions. I will admit that I found the story to read a bit jumbled, especially in the beginning. It feels like we’re thrown in, and then plot things just keep happening and happening, but we haven’t really had […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heck of a lot of fun and goodness!! Lots of great chemistry, a super fun world, great supporting cast, and an adorable couple to root for! Evie was absolutely adorable. I loved her absolute verve for life, how easily she showed her love and excitement for things. […]
4 stars — OK, this is going to be another terrible review because I did a terrible job writing down my thoughts…woops, sorry! Still hilarious. The banter, the witty writing, loving it. Dephne is a delightfully sassy and sarcastic witch. Annette is hilarious. Still a bit repetitive at times and feels like not a lot […]
3.5 stars — Strangely, there was actually a lot to love in this book. But if I’m being honest, I wasn’t as compelled by the story as I wanted to be. It’s my first book by Ms. Stiefvater, and I have a feeling I might have enjoyed it more if I’d read it a decade […]
4.5 stars — I’ll explain in too much detail at the end, but the start was super slow for me, and I set this book aside *twice*. But once I got over that initial hump, I just kept getting more and more into it, until I was racing to the finish. So definitely give it […]
4 stars — Well, that was entirely unexpected!! I actually started off listening to the audiobook for this one, and while I was really enjoying Ms. Nankani’s narration, all of the online chatting made for a tedious listening experience (because she had to read off EVERYTHING). And confusing on occasion. So I switched to the […]
3.5 stars — There were definitely a lot of fun elements, and I enjoyed the world (even though I may not have always understood what exactly Trinity is…perhaps I should have read book 1 first?). I will admit that the writing was a bit more basic than what I typically enjoy. Definitely not bad, but…I […]
3.5 stars — This book was definitely entertaining, but it was missing just…something to make it a true hit for me. I’m still having problems concentrating, so maybe I *gasp* need to take a break from reading. *sigh* Honestly? I actually really loved Alexei. I don’t know if he’ll be many people’s favourites, but he […]
3 stars — I was actually *really* looking forward to this book (despite the fact that I am 2 years late in my review). But…something just didn’t quite work for me in this one, so Mark’s book remains my favourite. (and please note that I don’t think you can read it without reading the first […]
