Well shit. This sounded dark, unique, and interesting. For the most part it was, kinda. I just had a very hard time getting into it. I liked the world and am disappointed I thought this was just okay. Just not for me I suppose.
Into a world of wild secrets and deadly pleasures comes a girl whose innocence may be her greatest strength. In Ixion music and party are our only beliefs. Darkness is our comfort. We have few rules but they are absolute . . . Retra doesn’t want to go to Ixion, the island of ever-night, ever-youth...
Here’s the thing, you can take an overused trope and put it in an edgy outfit, maybe surround it with a unique setting and add in some Dafuq Am I Reading, but guess what? It’s still a goddamn trope. And this book has a lot of them. There’s the TSTL Mary Sue MC, the bestie who is much cooler and mor...
Partying. Pirates. Hallucinogens. Things that go bump in the night. Lace and leather. Nudity, and sass galore. Not to mention, the mention of baby bats (my little goth heart fluttered in excitement, even if there were some terrible gothy cliches there). I may have received this book at a very chea...
Ein kleiner Hinweis, bevor ich mit der Rezension beginne: ich habe das Buch auf englisch gelesen, der ein oder andere Begriff könnte daher in der deutschen Übersetzung von dem hier benutzten abweichen. Das muss ich direkt loswerden: Ich liebe, liebe, LIEBE dieses Buch! Ich habe es in den frühen Morg...
This book is like when you see one of your gorgeous friends after a drunken night out. Yes she no longer looks perfect; she's a gross and sweaty, her make-up's smudged and you're not sure how she'll ever get her hair looking luscious again, but you still know she's beautiful. That's this book. The e...
Rating: 2 Stars/DNFI feel like I've reached that stage in my life where I need to see a neurologist. Clearly, there is something wrong with my brain because I could have sworn before cracking the spine of this one that I would love it. And, honestly, this is happening a lot. I pick up a book with a ...
I am not sure I can do this book justice with words. I found this book ages ago and put it aside on my shelf to read “later”. The later came 5 months later.The world of Ixion is rather intoxicating. The whole book has this sensual feeling, I am not sure what words you can use to describe it, but I c...
Ummmm, yeah....2.5 starsThis was a weeeeird book. I HATE the Main Character, Retra, with a passion and the first half of the book was absolutely confusing and a major info dump. But then the second half got pretty good, and I mean Lenoir was awesome. Sometimes creepy and scary, and yet I belive he w...
Um....this book was sort of a mess...for me. I don't really like anyone and the world itself was a big WTF? I mean, in theory, I guess I can summarize what this book was about, but the execution wasn't the best, it was sloppy. It was cray. A lot of cray. It was hard to follow. I can't tell you a goo...
