Book Review: Red Queen

This one’s a disappointment. Instead of a book hangover, Red Queen left me questioning myself whether its positive points are worth the pain that I have to go through while reading the whole thing. It’s not essentially a bad book but I just can’t connect with the story, with the characters, and the whole love quadrangle. The premise, while not that original, was I think one of the reasons why I picked up this book. Got to admit that I wasn’t over the whole Red Rising craze and I thought that the Red Queen would fill the gap left by…

Book Review: House of Ivy and Sorrow

On the contrary, she’s the dragon who needs to be slain by your knight in shining armor. And the most disturbing thing is that she has a very disturbing view about morality. Kit’s first rule in life is: There’s no right or wrong.…

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…
