This is one of the most beautiful books I’ve read in a very long time. The story glistened just as much as the lovely setting. The writing was so gorgeous. It made me laugh and made me cry. That’s how amazing it was. The descriptions were so spectacular. I’m amazed by how beautiful Sarah Beth Durst ...
My first introduction to the story of the Polar Bear King and his bride was the 90's Polar Bear Prince, a bizarre movie that anyone over the age of eight suffers through in increasing confusion. Being under eight when I first saw it I thought it was fabulous. Now as an adult I have version of this t...
I was pretty intrigued with the storyline for this. I actually enjoyed about the first half or so of the book, getting to learn the new world and a different kind of paranormal young adult novel. But, unfortunately, that feeling didn't last through the book.About halfway I really struggled to keep r...
Man, that was amazing! I am really taken aback with this book. To be honest, I thought that I was going to find this book a bit dull, not creative, and downright stupid. And for a minute there, I thought I was right except for the boring part (I didn't find the book boring at all). However, now that...
Wow. Just... wow! I went from not really caring about this book, to thinking it was a mixture of annoying and lovely, and then to ending up adoring and enjoying it to the fullest! What a difference at the beginning and the middle, the middle and the end~! This is a book that I'm happy to have been s...
There was a point, about 70 pages in, where I almost gave up on this book. I said (not out loud), "Wait, they're not going to storm the troll castle and rescue her mother? They're just going to hang around the Ice Palace making small talk? What is this, a rip-off of McKinley's Beauty with less inter...
I read this book around the same time last year and fell in love with it. I'm writing this review after reading it for the second time. And I must say that I loved it the second time just as much as the first time.After going through a week of humid 90 degree weather, I was in the mood to read about...
I’ve changed a lot as a reviewer since I started blogging about YA almost a year ago. I’ve matured my writing style, I’ve learned more about the publishing business, I’ve started to ask more questions and I’ve even made a few friends. I don’t regret my snarky sparkly beginnings because I had a lot o...
I’ve been looking for THE re-telling of “East of the Sun, West of the Moon” for awhile now. I’m afraid I’ll have to keep looking. I liked a lot of what Durst did with this story, and Cassie was a really interesting rendition of the heroine. But her journey at the end just lost me completely. [Jan. 2...
