Eh.That would be my whole opinion.The narrative style was okay. Not clumsy or excesively descriptive, not trying to use strange words, etc. But the protagonist was a bit of a dork in my perspective, and I kind of disliked her Mom too. I suppose I could understand such sadness after life has beaten y...

I've been stuck on a reading glut lately, I've got 100000 unfinished books on my ebook reader, most of which I've made slight progress, and I've no desire to finish or continue reading any of them. So to ease my boredom, I've been rereading some old familiars that I know are enjoyable.Some series ar...

This was a decent book -not the best written I've ever read, but with one of the best premises. The main character wasn't likeable, but I always *wanted* to like her, kept hoping for the things that made her tough to like would be smoothed out by experience and friendships.This story takes place in ...

The story is gripping, and I love, love, love the idea of a fairy stor...

I didn’t understand the world of this book at first. The usual Faerie books I’ve read would be in a world either during the late centuries of the past or within the present state, since the fair folk are told to be really old. I didn’t expect a post-apocalyptic era so I had a bit of a hard time gras...

I’ll get right into it people. The plot, Bones of Faerie is a dystopian story with elements of fantasy. Sounds interesting, and it is. There is a devastating war between humans and faes. Both sides, each incurring huge losses. By the end of the war human society has lost most of their technologi...

Not the sort of faerie book I'm used to... Pretty dark for my taste. But really picked up toward the end! (more in depth review coming soon!)
