This book reminds me why I love to read. To experience what the characters are experiencing. To feel what the characters are feeling. For it to actually seem like I'm not reading in bed at all, I'm with the characters in their world instead.
I had so many emotions running through me while reading this. I laughed. I cried. I squealed. I swooned. I screamed. I yelled. This book was just pure *magic*
Of course, I did not like some parts: The three different POVs when all I wanted to do was read with Lazlo's POV, those long and tiresome scenes with Thyon Nero, and (view spoiler)[how I still feel like I need to know how Minya's feeling now with the aftermath of all that - I thought we needed a bit more conclusion in Minya's POV (hide spoiler)] But I will read this again and again and I will never get tired. The writing is gorgeous. The world magical. The characters worth dying for, and the plot absolutely thrilling. I loved this so so much and just can't write a constructive review right now. Aghghghgh I just love this so damn much! 💕📚...more
Well, this was something. I'll be honest, I wasn't going to pick this one up (it wasn't even on my tbr) but I found it at the library and thought, why not? I thought the concept of this book was original but other reviewers don't so thats something to keep in mind. The protagonist, Jules, was an interesting character, brave, in her own way. She was full of emotion but wasn't whiny, she saw what she has to do and tried her best to do it. (I do wish she would have thought the whole thing through before she did something though)... yeah, she isn't the cleverest girl on the field... I wasn't a fan of Roan. He lacked emotion and was half-expecting him to be revealed as the antagonist. A bit disappointed that he didn't, to be honest. (view spoiler)[But I'm glad I was right about Liam hehehehe... (hide spoiler)]. I was hoping for a bit more action throughout the book, it didn't seem that there was that much going on until the last 100 pages or so. But hey, it was a fast, fun read....more

It started out promising; intriguing, dark and creepy, just what I wanted. Then, about halfway, it switched to a direction I wasn't expecting, nor wanting. Ugh, from there I just plodded through. The characters didn't cut it for me, they were too plain and boring. And I was expecting fantasy but it's set in our world (but does that ever clarify?) with lots of weird stuff that I didn't feel was thoroughly explained (it definitely wasn't clear anyhow) Anyway: Please point me in the direction of the good books of 2018....more
