From Goodreads, because I'm lazy and it's mostly a pretty good summary (I will point out the ways in which is it not afterwards): When Rachelle was fifteen, she was good - apprenticed to her aunt and in training to protect her village from dark magic. But she was also reckless - straying from the ...
Initial reaction: I feel about this book the same way I felt about "Cruel Beauty". Wonderful ideas, action, and intriguing characterization, but the execution of it feels a bit flawed. This book dragged for me much longer than I thought it would, sadly, though I liked parts of it.Full review:Full co...
4.5 Stars “..You always have to choose between the path of needles and the path of pins. When a dress is torn, you know, you can just pin it up, or you can take the time to sew it together. That's what it means. The quick and easy way or the painful way that works.” When Rachelle was fifteen she was...
Crimson MehAfter reading some of its raving reviews, seeing the purdy cover and reading the prologue, I was syperhyped about Crimson Bound. The previous three or four books I've read weren't the best picks, so you can imagine my excitement on finally starting something awesome again. Alas...it turne...
**Skim read from page 120+** I know I missed a lot of plot stuff due to the skimming, but I don't really care. But if something I say below is truly amiss, feel free to let me know.I'm not sure what to say about this one. I wanted so very much for it to be a favorite, even though I knew it was impro...
When Rachelle was fifteen she was good—apprenticed to her aunt and in training to protect her village from dark magic. But she was also reckless— straying from the forest path in search of a way to free her world from the threat of eternal darkness. After an illicit meeting goes dreadfully wrong, Ra...
Rosamund Hodge is most certainly a brilliant writer. I loved her Cruel Beauty, and this one I loved too, although not quite as much. There were actually a couple of times while reading when I wasn't so crazy about this book, but by the time I got to the end and all the pieces were in place I couldn'...
I loved Rosamund Hodge’s debut, Cruel Beauty. It was a Beauty and the Beast retelling with enough twists to make it interesting. And I loved the subsequent novella that was released last spring as well. And I looked forward to Crimson Bound because that blurb. Wow, just wow. It didn’t work for...
Firstly, our heroine, Rachelle is a total and complete bad ass. Seriously, she gets an A+ in bad assery. She's awesome. She is tough and brave and self-sacrificing, but she's also got this softer, vulnerable side that we see with Armand and Erec both. She definitely feels guilty about what she did t...
I've been reading Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge and I'm about 150 pages (out of roughly 450) in and I just can't seem to get through it. Its a retelling/mash-up of Little Red Riding Hood and Girl with No Hands- its an interesting mashup and concept so in theory it would be an interesting book. Not...
