So...this review is kind of hard to write.The writing was not good. At all. Then I kept reading and the bad writing didn't stand out to me as much. Maybe because I got used to it? Maybe it got better? I honestly can't tell. But eventually it wasn't a problem.The story was slow. Really slow. Then sud...
I had some really high expectations about this book. I thought it was going to be all lovey dovey and it was, but just not in the way I expected it to be. What I like most about this book are the characters. Fresh out this world, the characters are what makes this book. I loved their loyalty, the ...
The beginning of the story starts off well, off. Everything in Izzie's life is too perfect, her relationship with Mark, her happiness with life in general. Not your typical teenager, that's for sure. I don't feel like I'm a part of the story, I feel like the story is being told and I'm watching it h...
The other two had been dark, but this one almost oppressively so. The daughter of the hound and the bear undergoes many trials and sorrows and I'm not sure if the romance made up for it.
The hound continues her adventure with a bear. I didn't like Richon's personality as much as George's, but the fairy tale was strange enough to be interesting if sometimes a bit simplistic about magic and unmagic and love.
This book could have been so many things.It could have been a modern retelling of the myth of Tristan and Isolde, a deeply emotional study on a young woman being torn between the two lovers and the tragedy that ensues.It could have been a hilarious farce about just how many things can wrong when you...
Review originally posted at The Starry-Eyed Revue.Okay, I admit it. I haven’t actually ever read the original story of Tristan and Isolde, but a quick Wikipedia search tells me that, yes, this could be considered a retelling, though I’m not entirely convinced. I’ll still need to read the original ...

More of my reviews at The Cozy Reading CornerI really think this story had a great beginning. It really did, but after that it kind of took a turn for the worst. The idea behind the book was great! The execution, not so much. I really wanted to love this book. Izzie, was an okay character, but there...
