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.

Book Review: House of Ivy and Sorrow

How come you gave this book a 2.5 star rating? Are you a hater on the loose? Me: You sound like I am a convict. Luxa: Damn right! Fangirl has a 4.36 average rating in GR.

Book Review: The School for Good and Evil

This book has just solidified my belief of the saying that “looks can be deceiving.” You know what really makes me hate a book? It’s not the badness nor the prose nor the plotholes. It’s the fact that I went into it with loads of expectation only to be severely disappointed upon arrival at the finish line. And this is what happened to me after reading The School for Good and Evil. Fairy tales are one of my comfort reads. Whenever I’m suffering from a great book hangover, I always crave for something light and entertaining. But I didn’t achieve…
