DNF Fierce Like a Firestorm

“Fierce like a Firestorm” happens to be the third sequel I’m reading in a row. And I have one more after this. I completely prefer binge reading a series in a row which is why my upcoming trilogy is rapid release in three consecutive days. “Wicked Like a Wildfire” was the first book and whenContinue reading “DNF Fierce Like a Firestorm”

DNF Deep Blue

I love how the interior has colored design. The prologue was a tiny confusing with the poem like chanting and all the different words in another language. I think someone is named Vraja. And there’s a draga. And an Iele. I’m unsure which either were. The sea witches were either trying to free or imprisonContinue reading “DNF Deep Blue”

Hopeless- DNF

Sky’s voice is very appropriately 17 and realistic but I’m just not connecting. Which is okay since I’m 35, lol. I’ve read tons of other Colleen Hoover books but this one isn’t for me since it’s VERY young adult.  It starts out in October 2012, written in first person narrative with such extensive emotion thatContinue reading “Hopeless- DNF”

By the Book- DNF

I didn’t finish this book because the third person narrative wasn’t working for me this time. I didn’t like how there’s a bunch of mini flashbacks that I hadn’t been a part of, such as: “as they had descended into LA, she’d determined that she was going to enjoy this trip, no matter what.” OrContinue reading “By the Book- DNF”

DNF- Only A Monster

I didn’t finish “Only A Monster” despite how awesome the concept seemed. In was too bored in the beginning chapters and nothing grabbed my attention. Also, the writing doesn’t feel natural, but forced. In the first chapter there’s a lot of backstory and telling. I need more intrigue, like in the prologue when it’s obviousContinue reading “DNF- Only A Monster”

DNF

I did not finish “The Witch’s Daughter” by Paula Brackston. I believe there’s a whole series, the sequel might be called “The Return of the Witch.” I learn about Elizabeth’s personality through her journal entries but nothing happens for quite a while. There’s no objective or purpose. There’s also a lot of small talk withContinue reading “DNF”

DNF

I did not finish “The Bone Witch” by Ron Chupeco. It would be a great fantasy read for those who thoroughly enjoy descriptive world building. However, I need more character agency to connect. Here’s my thoughts while reading: The prologue is about a bard who witness a young girl (asha or bone witch) kill aContinue reading “DNF”

Review #311

I’ll give this one a 3.2/5 stars but technically I didn’t finish. 200+ pages is still a good chunk to write a review. Unfortunately at the halfway mark I started skimming ahead. I didn’t find all 3 answers I was looking for, but the ones I did find felt anticlimactic and a little disappointing. IContinue reading “Review #311”

Review #309

I stopped at page 50 for this contemporary romance with a bit of witchy magical fantasy elements. It’s written in first person past tense all in one point of view and the other books are “From Bad to Cursed” and “Back in a Spell” that seem to be set in the same town but withContinue reading “Review #309”
