Now, this isn't undying literature--but it's hardly shoddy either. But I admit, for personal reasons, this is my crack. Partly this is because of one character in the book that so strongly reminds me of a favorite character in a certain famous fantasy series. I won't name him, since a great deal of ...
For my next book, I think I need to intentionally choose something from my to-be-read list that I expect to be slow-paced! I’ve read several great books in a row and I haven’t been getting much else done beyond the bare necessities required to maintain my “Responsible Adult” title. This book made me...
I'm very conflicted about this book. I had heard great things about it, and when I started it, it was immediately clear why so many readers sing its praises. It's beautifully written, and the Wood is the most chilling, most disturbing, and most imaginative villain I've ever encountered in literature...
I definitely enjoyed this more than not. But I'm feeling a bit conflicted. There were parts I really really liked. Then there were times I felt a bit bored and wished the story had almost been cut in half. It's over 400 pages. The people of Polyna are used to young girls getting taken by the drago...
UPROOTED by Naomi Novik is a standalone young adult fantasy novel. The novel is heavily influenced by fairy tales and tells the story of Agnieszka who lives in a small village that is protected by the Dragon. Next to this village is the Wood, which casts a dark shadow. The book begins just before Dr...
Initial reaction: "Uprooted" is not only my first read from Naomi Novik, but it's also my second read of 2016. I have conflicted thoughts about this novel - not just taking the overarching TCO tone of the entire narrative into account. Sometimes that kind of narrative works for me, sometimes it does...
FINALLY FINISHED! I can't believe it took a month for me to get through it but between finals and traveling back and forth, I can see why it took so long.So yes, one of the most recommended books of this waning year and I... did not like it that much. It was incredibly underwhelming. For one, it is ...
I’m the type of reader who usually fall in love with the book cover and I must admit the covers of this book were not really my type (at first), then it grew on me, I mean the goldish/yellow cover with the girl photo. The longer I stare at that cover the more I fell in love with it.The title though,...
I absolutely adore this book! I really do. I kept hearing pretty negative reviews about this book for a while now and, after I've read it, I think they were being too harsh with the book. It's not the worst book ever written! It's actually quite fun and I think that's the whole point to this book. T...
