Crimson MehAfter reading some of its raving reviews, seeing the purdy cover and reading the prologue, I was syperhyped about Crimson Bound. The previous three or four books I've read weren't the best picks, so you can imagine my excitement on finally starting something awesome again. Alas...it turne...

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale. This is an excellent retelling that mashes it with the Psyche myth and Tam Lin. So very enjoyable.

A variation of the Beauty and the Beast story. I enjoyed it. I liked Nyx. She is not flattered or cowed by what is happening to her. She reads people very well. She's confused with Ignifex and why he doesn't kill her. She has to stay on her toes with him but they are a good match. At times I was not...

**Skim read from page 120+** I know I missed a lot of plot stuff due to the skimming, but I don't really care. But if something I say below is truly amiss, feel free to let me know.I'm not sure what to say about this one. I wanted so very much for it to be a favorite, even though I knew it was impro...

But she was also reckless— straying from the forest path in search of a way to free her world from the threat of eternal darkness. After an illicit meeting goes dreadfully wrong, Ra...

Die Menschen leben nun unter einem Himmel aus Pergament, von dem ein gemalte...

Rosamund Hodge is most certainly a brilliant writer. I loved her Cruel Beauty, and this one I loved too, although not quite as much. There were actually a couple of times while reading when I wasn't so crazy about this book, but by the time I got to the end and all the pieces were in place I couldn'...

I loved Rosamund Hodge’s debut, Cruel Beauty. It was a Beauty and the Beast retelling with enough twists to make it interesting. And I loved the subsequent novella that was released last spring as well. And I looked forward to Crimson Bound because that blurb. Wow, just wow. It didn’t work for...

Firstly, our heroine, Rachelle is a total and complete bad ass. Seriously, she gets an A+ in bad assery. She's awesome. She is tough and brave and self-sacrificing, but she's also got this softer, vulnerable side that we see with Armand and Erec both. She definitely feels guilty about what she did t...

I've been reading Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge and I'm about 150 pages (out of roughly 450) in and I just can't seem to get through it. Its a retelling/mash-up of Little Red Riding Hood and Girl with No Hands- its an interesting mashup and concept so in theory it would be an interesting book. Not...
