Marissa Meyer is quickly becoming one of my favorite YA authors. Her fusion of Young Adult romance and science fiction with personal touches to well known fairy tales makes for a unique read. I love how she's also added a few subtle pieces from the wildly popular Sailor Moon anime without really giving it away. I didn't really pick up on the Sailor Moon influences until I was trying to convince a friend she should read The Lunar Chronicles, but maybe that's only because I'm not a huge fan of anime.. If you have not read Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, Book 1), I would ... Continue Reading...
Review: Nirvana
I'm not usually a fan of fiction that features virtual worlds in any form. I really love the idea of Virtual Reality in real life, but on paper it tends to lose my interest. I like my fiction and VR separate, I guess. Nirvana did a great job in separating itself from the current speculative fiction genre. The VR aspects are super important to the story which readers learn later on, but it isn't the VR mysteries that kept my interest. The world struggles to go on after a mysterious illness kills all the bees which caused ecological devastation. No one knows why the ... Continue Reading...
Review: Shattered Blue
I'm not usually one for novels about Fae because faeries have never really interested me. I took a risk reading Shattered Blue and I was pleasantly surprised! Horowitz is an extremely lyrical writer with a gift for beautiful poetry. Noa's poems are actually my favourite part of this book because they are so well written. Horowitz's poems actually reminded of the poems I was taught to memorize in grade school: simple, colorful and concise with deep meaning through imagery. Nomad girls are Lost Ones too, with leaves at foot and crown; they too seek shelter in the ... Continue Reading...
Review: The Thirteenth World
The Thirteenth World is the second novel of The Corridor Series. Stel Alaster was just a normal girl until the door way between worlds, The Corridor, imploded and mysteriously gifted her with the power to move between multiverses at will. She's been hunted and tortured because of her gift. She's lost those closest to her and yet she may have to sacrifice more before her tale is told because The Corridor is failing and the barriers between the twelve worlds is disappearing. Yet, out of the darkness of space-time a thirteenth world appears with secrets that will ... Continue Reading...
Review: Cinder
Why did I put Cinder off for so long?! I remember reading the synopsis and being really unexcited but I kept hearing SUCH GOOD THINGS. I kept thinking "I'll probably like it, but I have all these other books that kind of seem more interesting so I'll read those instead." Time went on. I didn't read Cinder. Seriously, I regret that decision now because I loved Cinder to bits. It's unique, exciting and you don't see the twists coming. I read Cinder as part of The Lunar Chronicles Read Along hosted by @bookaddictsguide! The whole event is about reading the Lunar ... Continue Reading...
