I'm a massive fan of Kimberly Derting's body finder series so I couldn't wait to pick up the first book in her new dystopian fantasy series The Pledge. I wasn't disappointed and I think if anything I'm going to like this series even more than the body finder books. My main disappointment was the fac...
This one was really fast paced, but is one where I just wanted more relationship development. It almost feels like too many things were happening at once.The world was interesting, but but I would have wanted more on the language as oppression tool - but maybe that's the English major in me talking....
Review: In this dystopian/fantasy world ruled by a tyrant queen, the classes each speak different languages. The language segregation is strictly enforced, but Charlaina is different. She can understand all languages, something that, if discovered, could get her killed. So she keeps this little fact...
What I loved:From the beginning, I was intrigued by the world and the characters Kimberly created. There wasn’t a single familiar thing about them.The story itself is unique and interesting with a world were people are classed and each class has her own language and they’re forbidden from speaking o...
My sister was telling me for weeks that I should read this book and I didn't listen. I'm not sure why. Apparently I need to listen to her a bit more often. (she's going to love that I actually typed that out) Anyway - this was another book I couldn't put down. In Ludania classes are divided by the ...
I tried really, really hard to like this book. It had so many things going for it. The cover is beautiful, almost haunting. Normally, I'm not a fan of covers where you can see the model's face, since I like to imagine what the main character looks like, rather than have the publisher provide a vi...
Full review here: I'm A Book Shark BlogThis novel took at least 150 pages for me to really get sucked in. I read it quickly after that, but it did take a while. I'm certainly glad I read it, and I can't wait until the sequel, but it was a bit of a rough road.I felt like parts of this book were piece...
This book had my attention from the very beginning. It is an interesting world the author has created and castes dictate everything. Charlie is a strong character which I like. She does what she feels is right but thinks about her actions...i appreciate that she doesn't just blindly hope for the b...
I would rather call this a fantasy rather than a dystopia, but everyone else is calling it (and everything else) a dystopia, so I guess I will too. The magic was interesting, and I think there could have been more world building there. The romance was kind of dull. I like Kimberly Derting's other bo...
