Overall, I enjoyed Ballad. Nice twisty faerie story with cleverness and at least one likeable asshole character, which I think is a strength of Stiefvater's. I did like Lament a little bit more, and as with all of Stiefvater's books, there's a feeling of emotional distance and kind of a complicated ...
Well, I'll say this right now. I did not enjoy this book as much as I did Lament. I know this is not the best series out there, but I was a little disappointed in how it was executed. The writing was still decent and easy to get into, but the story wasn't anything mind-blowing and normally that does...
Oh, James.I'm happy sighing all over the place. James gets the attention he deserves in this sequel to Lament, as for me he was the most appealing character in the first book, and now I adore this cocky, empathetic, lovelorn boy all the more. This book is simple yet multifaceted, beautiful and eer...
Way to make my really dislike Dee when I loved her in the first book.But James was fabulous in this, and I loved Nuala. the story had great pacing, the end didn't feel rushed this time. Great story.
Nothing much to add after first book. Still the same thing. Story itself is not bad. It's interesting and maybe even childish but still you can enjoy it. My problem is with writing, this is not something that I expected. Even though James is maybe better narrator than Dee, still this book didn't man...
This is incredibly boring until almost halfway through then the action picks up and the story starts to make sense. Lament is Deirdre's introduction to the fae and now it's her best friend James's turn. I really like Nuala though Deirdre really got on my nerves in this one which is really saying so...
Yes, I never read the first book and I don't think I'll bother with it. The prose is as mesmerizing as always but not as developed as it has been in the author's newer books. I liked the idea, the main character, and very nice execution at the end. Overall it was interesting, worth my time, nice fae...
