Hmm... It was sort of okay, but at the same time... I just couldn't stand Aza's narrative, and Jason got on my nerves as well after a while. The first 20% or so had a "Fault in Our Stars" feeling (snarky teenager who's dying beautifully of some incurable illness, so of course she has to think and be...
I’m not a huge fan of this book. It has great reviews on Goodreads, so maybe this is a case of “It’s not you, it’s me.” Aza has spent her entire life struggling to breathe. No doctor has been able to help her, and nobody can explain how she is still alive. A few days before her sixteenth birthday,...
Ugh. There is nothing more disappointing than having your very big book expectations fall flat. Magonia was, sadly, just that. Disappointing and really weird. Drawn by the beautiful cover and the blurb, I thought I was in for a much more different experience than what I got. This book had way more...
I read Magonia in one day… and that is not because I couldn’t put it down. It was because I wanted to put it down but I also wanted to see how it ended so I skimmed a few pages here and there to get to the ending faster.

Like this is my destiny.”I have so much respect for writers like Maria Dahvana Headley who are so immensely creative that they can create an entire world. There’...
Let a felon into your house, and you'll get your dead son back! Then again, I didn't understand like any of this book. It was good and creepy and this mashup of all these ideas, but I don't understand. Five stars for me loving the writing, though. This was beautiful and built up tension nic...
I had mixed feelings about reading this one, but when Kara from Great Imaginations read it and loved it, I thought I needed to give it a try. Her tastes usually align to be pretty similar to me, and I was already intrigued…. So yeah. I read it. Thoughts: Ummmm This one really surprised...
I expected a bit more for all the hype. This book was really weird. I almost gave up on it about halfway through. There was too much inner dialogue and rambling factoids and my attention span was practically non-existent. I told myself to give it twenty pages more before giving up. Finally things b...
