Actual rating: ARC provided by Strange Chemistry through Netgalley I hate writing bad reviews, so I'm going to try to keep this short...The first problem with this book is the blurb. It promises a heroine who rose to the rank of Legion General and is the right hand of the Prince. This is YA so,...

Prince Cale is dying, and the only one who could find his lost brother is seventeen-year-old Riven, a high-ranked officer of the army. She could take anyone down with a blink of an eye, but what she's not ready for is meeting Caden. Caden whose green eyes throw her off. Caden who doesn't know a thin...

Arc provided by Netgalley DNF at 43% I once read that when writing a less than positive review, one should always start by pointing out the positives of said story. Okay the positive of this story is: The synopsis As you can see, and read, it seems amazing! The problem? ...

Initial reaction: Yeah, I have a few things to talk about later on when I'm feeling up to reflecting on this story. In sum, though? Probably one of the more mediocre sci-fi stories I've come across. The worldbuilding was sketchy, the characters were typical, the twists were manufactured and convenie...

How do I put this gently? Riven, the female MC in this book, whose name actually means to tear apart, who is such a narcissist, who claims to be all deadly and powerful, is actually a vain, conceited bitch? Why do I say such a rude thing about a supposedly strong MC who has kickass fighting skills? ...

“Why’d you name me Riven? It’s so horrible,” I was wailing. “It’s not even pretty. It’s ugly, like me.” You are Riven! Like your deadly (and ugly, remember?) name, you are an assassin! A deadly Legion General, one of the highest ranking officers in your world. You are smart, tactically brilliant! ...

Seventeen-year-old Riven is as tough as they come. Coming from a world ravaged by a devastating android war, she has to be. There’s no room for softness, no room for emotion, no room for mistakes. A Legion General, she is the right hand of the young Prince of Neospes, a parallel universe to Earth. [...

Review also posted at Ja čitam, a ti?Recently almost all dystopian novels that I've read had something in common. That is the reality of the story which at the same time thrills me because of all the ideas and scares the hell out of me because of the possibility of these ideas coming true. This one ...

More Reviews:**I received this as an eARC through Netgalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. In no way does that effect the thoughts and opinions expressed here. I did not get reimbursed in any way for writing this review.**REVIEWI feel like the summary of the book gives you a ...

This was up down up for me. So my feelings for this are in the middle. Or may be not? I liked some of it, but (and I’m sorry) I found the bulk of it old hat. Sci-fi world of jumping here to there and back again plus missions being accomplished plus plot twist one then plot twist two then plot twist ...
