Reviewing the things I like (and some I don't).
Mary Hades: Beginnings by Sarah Dalton My rating: 2 of 5 stars I got this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I think a 2.5 rating would be more accurate for this collection. On the whole, I liked the story. It was very well told, was entertaining, and I liked the subject,... Continue Reading →
The Death Cure by James Dashner My rating: 1 of 5 stars And then no one asked the right questions and the explanations we did get made no sense (well, they made sense, they were just silly). The End. What do you mean there's more books? I thought this was a trilogy? 😦 I'll pass,... Continue Reading →
Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, and like it, it doesn't fail to deliver it's funny moments. The setting is slightly different, however, as it reminds you more of something just out of 1001 Nights. There's even appearances of... Continue Reading →
Contamination by Jamie Thornton My rating: 2 of 5 stars A free copy of this book was received in exchange for an honest opinion. I read the first book in this series and it was a pretty decent book. This second one has a lot going for it as well: the take on the 'zombie'... Continue Reading →
Germination by Jamie Thornton My rating: 3 of 5 stars I won Germination at a giveaway in exchange for a review. I liked it. I'm not much of a fan of neither first person nor diary/blog posts/etc kind of stories, but the bits of 'posts' were only the start of chapters, so it wasn't such... Continue Reading →
Deeper by Roderick Gordon My rating: 2.5 of 5 stars Both the first book and this one suffer from the same issue: It's a very interesting concept, but kinda slow and boring in execution. I guess it's because I'm a bit too old for these books, I surely would've loved it as a kid, for it has... Continue Reading →
Fire by Kristin Cashore My rating: 2 of 5 stars I found it rather disappointing, the end felt a bit rushed and the addition of the one "bad guy" made no sense (as in, I felt the story would've worked just the same without it, and it was pointless and forgotten for more than half the... Continue Reading →
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman My rating: 4 of 5 stars This review contains slight spoilers. The book was a bit too long (it dragged slightly in some places), and I wasn't happy with the ending, and it wasn't even because they couldn't end up together, seeing as I didn't much care for Lyra and Will's relationship;... Continue Reading →
Legacy by Cayla Kluver My rating: 2 of 5 stars Un libro relativamente bueno para haber sido escrito por alguien tan joven, pero nada fuera de lo normal ni espectacular. Quizás si lo hubiese leído siendo yo también más joven, me hubiese gustado mucho más. Pero no fué así y realmente no me gustó. Si... Continue Reading →
Graceling by Kristin Cashore My rating: 4 of 5 stars A great fantasy read. I truly enjoyed reading this book, it definitely went over my expectations for it. The pacing was a little slow on a couple points, but hardly found it to be a bother for the overall reading, I wasn't very fond of... Continue Reading →
