Julie’s Review: Cress is the third Lunar Chronicles book, and now it follows three characters. The first book was only Cinder, the second was both Scarlet and Cinder, and now we have Cress in addition to Scarlet and Cinder. I like how each book builds onto each character’s continuing story, while focusing on the […]
Julie’s Review: Siege and Storm was a lot darker and political than Shadow and Bone was. The exciting and new feeling from the first book with the world building and new characters was replaced with a more ‘what’s gonna happen?’ feeling. Now Alina knows what she is, and she is on the run. Unfortunately, on […]
Julie’s Review: Splintered is kind of hard for me to review because I both found it unique and exciting, but at times a little overwhelming. Maybe that’s why I only rated it 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the premise and thought the idea to have the modern day retelling be centered around the descendants of Alice […]
Julie’s Review: I met the author Leigh Bardugo at the Houston Teen Book Con in 2013. I got the hardback of Shadow and Bone signed then! Unfortunately, I just didn’t get around to reading it. I know, bad me! So I finally decided to buy the audible version so I would finally get to experience […]
Julie’s Review: Let me just start out by saying that blurb is misleading… “Heart stopping?” No. “Thrilling?” No. “Shocking?” No. “Satisfying?” Yes. I loved the first two books in this series. LOVED Juliette and Adam in book 1, and LOVED even more having Warner get redeemed and all the feels of the triangle. But […]
Rose’s Review: This book was unique, which I appreciated. This book was thought provoking and made me ask questions of myself, which I also liked. Starting every day out on a new day, with a new main character? Did NOT like. The story is told from the first person narrative of A. A is […]
Julie’s Review: Reading Enders was a struggle for me. I started out reading the e-galley, but put it down around 20% or so. Then I just didn’t pick it back up for quite a few months. Eventually I decided I have other books with higher priority to read with my limited sit down and read […]
Julie’s Review: Mila 2.0 is really about what it means to be human. Mila is a teenage girl living with her Mom in a small town and is enjoying talking to this great guy that she’s really into, and things seem normal. Well, until she has an accident and finds out that she doesn’t bleed, […]
Julie’s Review: I can’t even begin to gush about how much I enjoy Tahereh Mafi’s writing style in this series. I loved Shatter Me, and really feel the same way about Unravel Me. Like in the first book, the writing was excellent. There are so many good quotables and really unique imagery in this book. […]
