When I first saw this book in the store, I picked it up immediately hoping to buy it. Not only was I intrigued by the cover art, but the synopsis also sounded amazing and my kind of book. Unfortuantly I didn't buy it right then, but I guess that's also a good thing because I got it for free.I was so...
Guys this book. Really guys. This book wins all the awards for it’s title, first off. Then it went ahead and began with a quote from Dr. Faustus and The Tempest (and to show how much I love those plays, the man who can quote those two plays to me I’ll just marry on the spot, let’s be real here). It ...
From my blog http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-book-of-blood-and-shadow-by-robin.htmlAt 3% I was already in love with the "razor-sharp wit" of the characters. This is the kind of language and characters that I like and, when I find them, I just don't want to the book to end.Amongst so many zo...
I have mixed feelings about this book. It was interesting in parts and in others it really dragged. I will say that the reviews that say this is a ya version of The DaVinci Code are fairly accurate. The story revolves around Nora who is somewhat underwhelming as a character. A tragedy causes her ...
This book was different than I had expected. I came across it in my public library by accident, and I wouldn't have picked it up if it were for the way that everywhere I turned, I ended up seeing this book. It was like it loved to taunt me. It begged me to read it. I saw its reviews everywhere; on e...
My first impression of this book was that the author read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and thought to herself, "Gosh, I can write something like this! Only I'll water it down, dump the vampire angle, and insert some kind of vaguely described device that someone could maybe use to communicate w...
The Page SageA lot of bloggers said this book was The Da Vinci Code of Young Adult literature, and I definitely agree. There's murder, suspense, questions on God, betrayal, and so on. It was a book, that if I had had time, I would have read in one sitting. Nora is a narrator reminiscent of Mara Dyer...
I just finished my first book for the 168 hour challenge: The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman. It’s a longish read–432 pages–but it also goes by quickly. The story is told from Nora Kane’s point of view and she’s a fantastic narrator. The mystery aspect was well done. I did guess a coupl...
This was like reading The Da Vinci Code if teens could be brilliant Latin-reading, code-cracking explorers. And also if there were many arguments about god this and god that and whether god exists. It was just a little too much when, you know, they should be concerned with more urgent things like ho...
