Book Review: Death Sworn

Death Sworn, I could have sworn that the 5 star rating is almost within your grasp. You could have rendered me on my knees. You could have made me suffer a terrible hangover. But sadly, you let your laziness get the best of you. Let me enumerate the things that I liked and disliked about you, alright? The things that made my inner bibliophile happy: The Characters- Ileni is a kick-ass heroine despite the fact that her magical powers are almost drained. Her realism and cockiness really made me a happy reader. Not to mention that she definitely know what…

Book Review: Captivate

Captivate frustrated me so much that I was tempted to give it a zero star rating. Except for the interesting premise, everything about it was off. Not to mention that I was angry at myself for not really checking it out. I thought that it’s going to be a mermaid book but it’s not. In actuality, it’s about an underwater kingdom of humans.

So, here I am writing this review. I guess that a lot of you already know what A Game of Thrones is all about, what with the popularity of the TV show. But for the sake of those who…

Book Review: Cruel Beauty

Before I start my rant and exultations for Cruel Beauty, let it be known that it has nothing to do with Graceling. I really don’t know what’s gotten into the mind of the marketers of this book to say that it’s a sweeping fantasy where Graceling meets Beauty and the Beast. Seriously? Now that we’re clear about that, my second advice is to take this book with zero expectations. Don’t overanalyse it or somewhat because if you do, you might end up hating it. Cruel Beauty might have gotten a 4-star rating from me, but it doesn’t mean that it’s…
