What an unexpected and unique take on the story of Rumpelstiltskin! A lot of the aspects of this book followed the clichés of the genre, but sometimes you just need to read a book like that, and it can even be comforting!
REVIEW: TRULY DEVIOUS BY MAUREEN JOHNSON
Ugh.. I wanted this book to work for me, but sadly it missed the mark.
REVIEW: WE WERE LIARS BY E. LOCKHART
I actually ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would. There was a lull in the first half where I had to remind myself there was some supposed twist coming, but the rest of the book sucked me right in.
REVIEW: THE SHADOWS BETWEEN US BY TRICIA LEVENSELLER
This book had me hooked from the first chapter; I knew right away that I was going to love Alessandra.
REVIEW: IN AN ABSENT DREAM BY SEANAN MCGUIRE
I enjoy Seanan McGuire’s writing style very much- it’s probably one of my favorite things about her novels.
REVIEW: THE QUEEN OF SORROW BY SARAH BETH DURST
This author is definitely talented at keeping up a constant tension and making the reader wonder what will happen next. After the events that occurred earlier in the series, I honestly didn’t feel like any character was safe, and was ready for anything to happen.
REVIEW: AND I DARKEN BY KIERSTEN WHITE
I decided to give this book a second shot, partially because I couldn’t really remember what I didn’t enjoy about it the first time around, and also because the second and third books in the series have very high ratings
REVIEW: THE RELUCTANT QUEEN BY SARAH BETH DURST
This series feels like a breath of fresh air in a genre where you’re often given much of the same.
REVIEW: THE QUEEN OF BLOOD BY SARAH BETH DURST
This book was such a pleasant surprise! I didn’t go into this expecting to like it as much as it did. There was nothing that bothered me at all, and a few unique things that made the story that much more enjoyable.
REVIEW: AN ENCHANTMENT OF RAVENS BY MARGARET ROGERSON
This novel fell somewhere in the middle for me. A lot of this book is taken up by a journey the two main characters make, and the story is filled with descriptions of the landscapes they traverse along the way.
