Icons by Margaret Stohl was a bit disappointing in my opinion. I expected a little more action and suspense, compared to her Beautiful Creatures series. Icons is a dystopian tale that was still enjoyable, but was disjointed and rough, writing wise. The beginning was pretty good, but in the middle it...

2.5-3/5It’s the last quarter of ICONS that is its saving grace. But dear lord! Getting to that bit was difficult. Now, let me lay things out as simply as I can: There’s Dol and there’s Ro. We don’t quite know who they are or what they are to each other, but neither is it clear to them (to Dol espec...

This was an interesting mix of genre. It was primarily dystopian but with a sci-fi flair. It's also written in a way you get hints of the immediate future but was also supposed to throw you off of any conclusions. I enjoyed the world, but I admit the parts ment to throw me actually helped me piece t...

The writing was amazing. The world felt unimaginative and disjointed. The book doesn't have a definitive ending like each book in a series should.

More reviews on Maji BookshelfICONS started off in a weird way, but it still kept me interested. I just felt like a person who was dropped in the middle of a story, someone's life, without any clue on what the hell is going on. See, this could go both ways, either it makes the readers excited and wa...

I was lucky enough to win a copy of this from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and once again it was through a Shelf Awareness Giveaway! The premise at first didn't "grab" me, but I knew that as I had loved Beautiful Creatures by both Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia, I would probably love this...

Short and Sweet:I really disliked this book. I was confused and/or bored 90% of the time. I hate to give such a poor review, but I'd also hate for anyone else to waste time and energy on this book.To Elaborate....I wanted to love this one. I really did. When it showed up in my mailbox I literally ju...

Icons grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let me go. It was one of those reads where you sit breathless, waiting to know what happens next, wishing you could read faster.
