See more of my reviews at On The Nightstand! I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.In a kingdom called Rurik lives the Princess Ailsbet, daughter of the cruel King Haikor. Haikor has decreed that taweyr, the magic of men, war and death, is more important than the magic of ...
3.75ishThere's an interesting thing that happens with me and Mette Ivie Harrison's writing, in that I tend to have one big problem with something (often something hard to pin down or explain), and I find myself dwelling on it, even when I like the book/story/character/ideas or whatever else I may re...
*****FINAL RATING: 4.90 STARS*****CATCHALLHonestly, I had no idea what to expect going into this book. I picked it up because the cover was pink and pretty and I'd been craving a fantasy. I barely even skimmed over the blurb. I was as surprised as anyone else when I ended up completely falling in l...
This book was interesting, but kind of confusing (but that may be my fault, since I read it on a 3-hours-of-sleep brain in a bouncy car.) I'll have to take some time to think about it. Full review to come...
What felt like a really classic romance fairy tale. I really felt like it was old times, where mysterious things are possible and love comes true no matter the difficulties. With classic romances though comes foreshadowing that is way too obvious.Although, I like the twist that she put on the Beauty...
I do not get these books. In the least. They are pedantic and boring and have no adventure. No humor. No magic. No spark. But they sure sound good on paper...The writing is fine, but there is nothing after that to maintain interest or engage one's mind nor emotions.
Firstly, I’ll applaud Harrison for her accuracy, in part, to the original epic of Tristan. As an Arthurian fan/snob/geek, I really appreciated that. However, I wish so desperately that this book had been better than it was, considering how I adore the story of Tristan and Isolde for very much. I wen...
Although the book starts out quite okay and ends with a reasonably interesting chapter, the middle chapters are either too long or too short, constantly switch from narrative to semi-mathematical and back, and are often confusing. The author seems to have difficulties finding a balance between a mat...
2.5 starsI really liked the idea, but not the characters. The world, but not the execution. It was not a book I'd reread.Read in original year of publication.
I did not enjoy this book at all. The premise sounded intriguing and the cover was pretty, but the story itself was boring with flat, undeveloped characters, poorly written dialogue, and a romance that made me roll my eyes more times than I can count. It’s a pretty short book at under 300 pages, but...
