I may have been a bit stingy with the stars on this one. I guess it could be bumped up a bit, but there are some real problems with the book. The story is good. The secrets/mystery are good. The story is nicely resolved at the end. BUT I honestly think the author chose the wrong character to narrate...
Well that was an unexpected ending! sweet though.Part of my speculation is due to the fact I have read a somewhat similar book, well series (The Cal Leandros series, which i adore)These's books have a lot in common - Monster baby brother, big protective brother, messed up mother, intriguing love int...
I liked this book. I think when I read this it was not the best time because I really did not want to get into a new world and that may have effected my enjoyment of the book. I loved the concept of the book but the first book was really a laying the foundation of the series and I am much more inte...
Quotes!!! [spoiler] "Alan," Nick said, and on that name of all the words in the world, his voice cracked and emerged as a guttural, inhuman croak." "Why did you even try? Do you think you actually mean something to it?""I don't know," Alan snapped. "How could I know? That's not the point. He mea...
This is a promising beginning to what seems to be a series--there's a sequel, at least, The Demon's Covenant. It's a YA Urban Fantasy, and first of all I was grateful for what it's not--not the first person account of a teenage girl. Not remotely about vampires. And not set in the United States, for...
So I tried to catch up on ‘Geek and Sundry’ instead of attempting to write a single review as I had planned to do. Luckily, I need the pressure of someone actually wanting to hear my thoughts on a book. Thanks Sam and Kerry for providing that. :) So, here are my unedited ramblings that deal less wit...
So I may not be 100% on board with the Demon's Lexicon Trilogy, but this first book did have some interesting characters, a good background on just what kind of world everybody is living in - and how they should be acting in it - and a few standout great scenes. I'm definitely going to check out t...
I think overall I'll probably give this 3.5 stars. I did enjoy it however it wasn't until the last 100 pages or so that I really started to get invested in the story and characters. I really liked the concept and of course Nick.I probably won't make a video review of this, but I will write one to go...
Originally published at: http://yabooknook.tumblr.com/Sarah Rees Brennan is a genius of cruelty and making my heart hurt while I laugh and enjoy it.I picked up THE DEMON’S LEXICON after reading UNSPOKEN, half to deal with the emotional trauma the absence of UNTOLD was causing and half because the pr...
After reading Unspoken, which I really enjoyed, I was determined to go back and read Sarah Rees Brennan's earlier trilogy, starting with The Demon's Lexicon.The Demon Lexicon is the story of Nick, a sixteen year old boy, who has spent his whole life on the run from the magicians who threaten his mot...
