Good ending to the series! Definitely has its flaws but loved it none the less. I recommend this to everyone that is into YA fantasy.

Strange the Dreamer | Laini Taylor
Bailedbailed

Unbelievably slow. Cliché characters and an average plot. "Don't judge a book by its cover" sums up this book perfectly. Taylor's writing can be hard to understand at points, and there are pages and pages of back-to-back world building to the point where you forget what the story is even about. If you like a book that just explains an average fantasy world, this book is your dream. If you want plot and good character, avoid at all costs.

This book isn't anything special - like it's the kind of thing you'd pick up in an airport when your flight is delayed and never think of again.

Such a fab book!! YA sci-focus rarely something to get excited for, but this book was worth all the hype!

Othello | William Shakespeare

🌟Another classic piece of literature read for school, but my first piece of Shakespeare that I've disliked. So boring. So pointless. The Elizabethan version of The Real Housewives.

Wise Blood: A Novel | Flannery O'Connor
Bailedbailed

WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS BOOK??? I had to read it for my english class and didn't make it to the end because literally nothing happens in it. Honestly - if Motes handed me quicklime, I'd take it just so Id never have to look at this book again. Like The Violent Bear It Away, it was a classic for Southern Gothic, but don't try and read this for leisure. Just don't.

🌟🌟for it's genre, it was a classic - but I found myself SO bored and confused at points that I had to push myself to get through it.

so good to be back in this world!! loved every moment, but I'm with the people that thought it would have worked better as a book (in order to better explain some of the ideas) but loved everything else!! (ESP. scorpius)

Endgame 2. Sky Key | James Frey, Nils Johnson-Shelton
Mehso-so

This book wasn't nearly as good as the first one but it's an incredibly fast read that is super action packed. I don't like the writing style much and the ending was a tad anticlimactic but I love the characters and the idea so much that I will definitely be reading the next book whenever it comes out. definitely rec to people who love a lot of action and adventure in their books with less of a focus on character!!

I don't know whether to read this or The Dream Thieves? to be honest, I can't really remember what happened in Endgame since I read it last year but I know I loved it!

🌟🌟🌟🌟 really enjoyed this! wasn't what I was expecting at all. beginning was a bit slow and I found her writing style quite confusing at some points but I loved all of the characters and the plot! I'm glad that there wasn't a barrage of romance either. will definitely be picking up the next book!

Raven Boys | Maggie Stiefvater

so excited to read this since its been sitting on my bookshelf from the year it came out! I tried to read it then, but since I've heard so many great things about it and my reading habits have changed a lot, I thought I would give it another go

BooksTeasAndBookishThings I hope you love it! I know I do!! I just started book 4 and I am already over 25% in, definitely finishing today at this rate and will start the final book tomorrow. So many emotions about finishing this series 😅😄🙃😊🙁😍📚 8y
CaitlinSiem The first book is the slowest, and while I loved it I know some had reservations about continuing (but most found it ultimately worth going on 😄). I look forward to seeing your thoughts! Enjoy!!! 8y
SagaReads @BooksTeasAndBookishThings @CaitlinSiem just finished it today! I agree it was a bit slow in places but I loved it!! will definitely be picking up the next book! 😊👍🏽 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Just noticed I said book 4, when I meant book 3 lol but I am SO glad you liked it!!! I can definitely see why people think it is slow, but I really feel it is true to the characters. In this series, I enjoy the day-to-day. 8y

I LOVED this book!! The characters and plot are both amazing and I can't wait for the next one!! The ending was thrilling and left me wanting more. I will definitely be picking up Bardugo's other series which has been collecting dust on my bookshelf. Couldn't recommend it any more!

SagaReads also if you couldn't tell, I rate this book 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 8y
CaitlinSiem I am so happy you loved it! I felt the same way! Funny enough, I read this and then went back and read her Grisha trilogy (I also really liked that one too, but SoC is hard to beat). 8y
SagaReads @CaitlinSiem I'm so glad you thought it was good because I've had so many mixed reviews of the other series! I can totally see SoC being the highlight of her Grisha universe because I don't think anyone could beat Kaz 😉 8y

I was almost finished this book and I have LOST it and I am now very traumatised because it was amazing!!! Hopefully I'll find it but I have no issues of buying the kindle version to find out what happens 🕵

CaitlinSiem It's like they need tracking devices. Make sure to check the freezer 😜 8y
SagaReads @CaitlinSiem tell me about it!! I'll need to buy a safe just to stop people (including myself) from moving them 😉 8y

Not going to lie, I was SO happy when Victor survived at the end. it would be interesting to see if he still had his power, however, as Sydney revived the other EO and he seemed to have some issues in that department? And if he became "tied" to Sydney like Dol?

CaitlinSiem She definitely leaves enough open to keep me amped up for the sequel. I haven't had my fill of these characters quite yet. It'll be fun to see what becomes of everything. 8y
SagaReads @CaitlinSiem I didn't know there was a sequel until I made a review on Goodreads! I agree with you, it'll be interesting to see what they do next! :) 8y

THIS BOOK WAS SO AMAZING!!! You are truly missing out if you don't read it. It had me completely won over from the first chapter and there isn't one character that I did not appreciate. Schwab's writing style also has this air of effortlessness about it which I loved. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

UGH I know I was kind of raving about this book yesterday but after reading on a bit, it went downhill pretty quick. Maybe it's just me but I felt it became repetitive and the writing style really started to grind on me. Maybe try reading it again some other day, but for right now, I'm leaving it.

CaitlinSiem We studied this book in a writing class in college. He wrote it as NF and Oprah raved about how wonderful it was, then he came out stating it was actually fiction. Quite the scene was made about it. I didn't care for it personally either. 8y
DivineDiana @CaitlinSiem His dishonesty changed my opinion of the book. 8y

half way through this and I would just like to say that I would recommend this to ANYONE especially those who write as well as read. The way Schwab handles antagonists in this novel is by far the best I have ever seen and is a perfect example for how to *properly* write good antagonistic characters!

I'm really enjoying this book right now. I'm 1/5 of the way through it and even though the writing style is a bit strange and there is a bucket of controversy around the author, I'm finding the way he talks about dependency and addiction enlightening

Such an amazing book, definitely one of my favourites. I would recommend it to anyone (with the warning that you will never truly like Holden Caulfield.)

QueenAnne Yes, that's true, Holden is a snotty little kid.. Yet he has some deep thoughts. Like when he talks about the Inuit fishing in a glass case, never changing pose. Hoping some things in life were like this, could stay that way forever. Loved the book ❤️ 8y

Wasn't a fan of the characters; however, the time travel aspect really drags the book upwards for me. I'll be picking up the second book for that reason!

BookFreakOut If you want a time travel brain bender, look up Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card. It's pretty dense, my hubby loves it, I was so-so, but it'll make you work to wrap your mind around it. Could be good depending on what you're looking for. 8y
SagaReads @BookFreakOut Thanks! Will definitely go check it out! :) 8y
