〘 find other reviews on my blog 〙I picked up this book with a mad feeling of hope. The premise promised me an entry to what I now consider to be my favorite genre: novels that initiate their readers into a secret society, hidden from everyone else the way an oyster conceals the pearl at its heart, which is probably what every good novel should do. I couldn’t imagine anyone in a better position to deliver this story than the author I believe to be one of the finest in her field.But what a sli...
4.25/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 me: *seeing the whole anarchy this book has created* I wonder if I too can ruin my lifeOh, behold the majestic weird shit that I am, reading my first Leigh Bardugo book ever! YES. You may laugh at me and judge me and all that, but honestly, this book has created some serious anarchy after publication, a type of anarchy that made me stop and think: “If this book makes people feel so intense, then it is a make it or break it for me for sure”...
Yesssss! I finished this book in one hour and got all references at one time. I turned into most intelligent book reading machine and started to turn two pages at a time (because my mind can already feel what’s written at the next page, unbelievable, isn’t it?) I didn’t get bored. I didn’t yawn or complain about my heavy eyelids because I was so alert and concentrated. And of course, I loved those characters so much, I never had an urge to slap one of them or hate any of them. They were memorabl...
TOTO, WE’RE NOT IN YA FANTASY ANYMORE.Can you believe that of all the eras we could have been born in, we are all blessed to live in the one in which Leigh Bardugo is publishing books?!I have often felt like Leigh is able to sneak into my brain and write exactly what I need. (I am calling her by her first name because if she is, in fact, a presence inside my mind then it’s a given that we’d be on that level of familiarity.)For example: I love heists and ragtag groups of friends and slow burn rom...
CONGRATULATIONS-Goodreads Choice Awards Adult Fantasy Winner!"I am a daughter of Lethe, and the wolves are at the door."Hello friends, and good evening. Do me a favor will you? Could you all please stand up? Thank you. Now, if you're a fan of dark fantasy/horror and stories involving occult magic, please remain standing; everyone else can sit down. Remain standing if you also retain the ability to push through a read that has a slew of triggers, such as sexual assault, graphic rape of a 12 year
DNF - pg 146.I actually cannot do it. I can't finish it. I wanted to like this book so bad, and then I just wanted to finish it so bad, but it's sending me into a serious book slump. I'm giving up.After struggling through the first 100 pages, I decided to take a break, read something else, and then come back to it. Sometimes it's the timing, you know? So I went and read a good portion of Isaacson's The Innovators, got myself neck-deep in some quantum computing, because after reading that, some m...
4.5 loved
This book is just fabulous. It has excellent worldbuilding; deep, dark mystery; fascinating characters that you root for even when you don't like their choices; a twisty, original and unexpected plot that had me guessing all the way until the end. Highly, highly recommend.
This was honestly…. really disappointing.I enjoyed the beginning, the world, the school setting and the magic seemed interesting but it went downhill fast. Soon it was clear that Darlington was the only thing interesting and he wasn’t there for most of the book so… bleh.Generous 2 star. So much potential but did not care for the story at all and frankly the last 3 hours of the audiobook could have simply not existed :/
Review to come!
why couldn’t the whole book be like the last 100 pages??
yall wanna play another round of guess that rating?
