I enjoyed this entry much more in this series than the last book. I understand the point of the last book. When we are hurt, we need to get our pain out, but I wasn’t in that space. This is the healing book. Here, there are again good men in the world, and still there are one’s that hurt. Amanda’s writing style is the same and being the 3rd book, the poetry is becoming a little stale. This is the last of the series and I think that’s probably a good thing. I did find some interesting poems in he...

4/5 ★★★★☆“most stories don’t have a clear, defined message. they aren’t supposed to. we must take the good with the bad with the grey & decide what we want to do with it all.”I felt more connected to this one than to the others. It seemed more real to me, which made it magical and special. I really liked it 🥳

An absolutely fitting way to end the women are some kind of magic series.

i'm convinced that the poetry will sing to you only when your soul is on the verge of falling apart. dare i say, i didn't feel anything now because my soul is kinda being cheery to the extent i hate it?

Thank you Netgalley and Andrew McMeel Publishing for sending a review copy in exchange for an honest reviewThe final book to join Amanda Lovelace’s collection Women Are Some Kind of Magic. I’ve read the previous two books and if I’m being honest I didnt enjoy them as much as I wanted to. This one on the other hand I liked more. I love how she includes trigger warnings in the beginning of her books, and I really appreciate how she deals with different themes. I loved the guest poems that she had

A powerful conclusion to this beautiful poetry collection series. I totally would not mind if Lovelace decided to continue these books, I adore them so much. I know this type of poetry is not everyone's cup of tea but I have come to love it and it's all thanks to Amanda Lovelace and her words. ____My reviews for:#1 The princess saves herself in thi

This is the last in the poetry series and I quite liked reading them altogether and seeing how they fit and complimented each other. I do feel the 1st one was my fave. This one was very raw and heartbreaking and my heart goes out to all the contributors. The writing felt a little disconnected to me (perhaps because it wasn't a sole author this time?) but like 🙌🏻 go people being vulnerable and the #metoo movement.

This is the third poetry collection in this authors “women are some kind of magic” series and this one was good, but nothing really stood out to me. Poetry is so subjective and my favorite poetry collection from her is still the first collection about the princess. Her poetry is very whimsical and fairy-tale inspired, and she talks a lot about the abuse the experienced and how she overcame that abuse. This collection is good, but it’s not my favorite. This was the second poetry collection I fini...

women aresome kind of magicbut amanda lovelace surely isn't some kind of poet.- honest review.Enough with the self-pity already!! Stop throwing in words like princess, crown, castle, queen, then strike a few and label it POETRY.It's not. It's just a pathetic attempt at writing cheesy tumblr-like posts that not even a 14-year-old would reblog. God. I am so done with the so-called writers/poets milking the issues around feminism, domestic violence, depression and what not like it's a cash cow.The

I received an e-ARC of this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I give this book 3.5 stars which rounds up to 4.This book is really similar to the other two books in this series. So if you liked those, then you’ll probably like this one. That being said, I still think her first book is the strongest. The subject matter of the book is very timely. A large majority of the poems center on the Me Too movement. The theme of this book is mermaids/The Little Mermaid story. Ho...

read this because i saw Anya Taylor-Joy (aka the love of my life, the woman i would absolutely give everything in the world to and so much more) read this but unfortunately this left me very disappointed. i love when the style and the content of a book are directly correlated and make sense with each other however, in this book, the way the "verses" are formed don't serve the meaning of the poems at all, they make everything so complicated to read and it's just wasting so much paper it's crazy.

Review also on my blog • Twitter • BookstagramYou know that disappointed underwhelming feeling after reading a really lacklustre book? That’s how I felt about The Mermaids Voice. It was a lacklustre disappointment.I personally really loved The Princess Saves Herself and I also enjoyed the followup The Witch Doesn’t Burn.Maybe I saw this disappointment coming after To Make Monsters Out of Girls. I genuinely like modern poetry, however I find the Lovelace’s work feels extremely… repetitive. The Me...

I read most of this book while listening to Tiny Moving Parts and Taylor Swift's new album in a hipstery coffeeshop in DC and it was such a beautiful time. I'm quite sad to have finished this series. I wanted to read it for so long and now that it's over, I'm left with such a sense of longing. I want to be friends with the poet, to drink wine together as we realize that we don't need anyone else but ourselves in order to feel whole. I had two encounters this week. In the first one, I met a guy a...

2 stars It's really weird that I didn't like this book because I am absolutely gaga over the first two books in this series. Both were 5 star reads. But while those felt powerful and deeply moving, this one was repetitive to me and I found myself rolling my eyes.Maybe this book caught me in a bitchy time, but this third book felt convoluted and fake to me. Maybe I'll reread it in the future and see if I just have a case of the crankies or something....Follow me on ♥ Facebook ♥ Blog ♥ Instagram

A third one? Yes, SIGN ME UP, please!

Big thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing for sending me an early copy!! For some background, I love Amanda Lovelace's books. This series starts with Princess and next is Witch and Mermaid is the finale (These are obviously short forms of the titles just an FYI). The previous two books are some of my favorite poetry collections ever. I have given them both high ratings and I love the messages in them. These collections do have a significant amount of intense content and messages in them

Me, pretending to be a mermaid:FYI: This is the final installment to Amanda Lovelace's Women Are Some Kind of Magic series, and I freaking loved it. The author poured her heart and soul and her voice into this one! I don't know about you guys, but I *always* used to pretend that I was a mermaid when I was younger - whether it was in the pool, at the beach, bath time, the living room floor (wait, I might of been doing the worm). Anyways. Somewhere along the way many of us lost or had our voices w...
