Saving Francesca was such a powerful read. I love the way that Melina Marchetta writes her characters. They all have amazing depth, even the supporting characters, and great characterization makes such a difference to a book. I could really connect with Francesca, how she felt, and how she had to gr...

I've seen bloggers I love give the author of this book rave reviews, as I needed something for the Forgotten Friday square for Spring Book Bingo I had a look through the Great Imaginations blog website and came across this one, and figured, yes, okay, I'd give this one a try. I was not all that b...
I did like this book. I have to give it to her, Melina Marchetta is great at writing wonderful, in depth characters. There is a lot of info dumb in the beginning of the book, and Evanjalin did annoy me with her meddling ways. But I enjoyed the concept of the Lumatere people in exile, there are a lot...
Everybody loves this book. I have absolutely no idea why. It annoyed me so much I feared for the health of my poor e-reader, as it was close to being hurled across the room several times. This was at least twice as long as it needed to be, it was freaking obvious who all the grown-ups in Taylor's ...
4.5 stars This is my first Melina Marchetta's book and probably won't be the last one. That alone makes you guess that I liked the book, add the four stars and the answers are given. I really enjoyed reading this book, I didn't fall in love with it nor did my feels go up and down, but its tenderne...
This was a fitting ending to the Lumatere series. I really enjoyed this series as a whole, the writing is incredible, the characters are rich and layered, and the world is both tragic and beautiful. Quintana of Charyn was a little bit different from the other books, it was most noticeably the e...
(Wouldn't trade a minute of it though) Why is it that when something is annoying or drives you mad it is so easy to find a million words to say about it? But when you find something you incredible, nay, so AMAZING, that you can't seem to find the words to say how you feel about it. I am here n...
First things first. One thing i know after reading this book is the desperate need to have more ginger heroes. I mean look at them bumps. LOOK AT THEM!!! The story was unique, with a hard theme of war and suffering, intertwined with the severity of duty and obligation viewed trough two young mind...
This is the first of Melina Marchetta's books I've read, although I have seen 'Looking for Alibrandi' and I quite enjoyed it. Finnikin of the Rock was not special. It was cookie-cutter fantasy, with nothing new. It left me feeling flat, bored and rather underwhelmed. I enjoyed the world building, bu...
