You Are What You Read
Rating: 3 stars This was both better and way way way worse than the first book. I won’t even compare it to the second (yikes) As usual, the pacing was atrocious, with hardly any coherent transitions at all; a lot of the story was just left for me to figure out on my own, I …

I just want to know why her skin is purple. Is she Thanos?? What the heck? Rating: 3 stars “I love you,” he said.”I love you too, Thanos,” Ceres said. “But can’t this wait until we’re clear?”Me at all YA sci-fi / fantasy love plots I’m honestly just getting tired of this series. When it …

Rating: 2 stars “One fine day in the middle of the night […] two dead boys got up to fight. […] Back to back they faced each other, pulled out their swords and shot one another. The deaf cop on the beat heard the noise and came and shot the two dead boys.” So this …

Rating: 3 stars Definitely a downgrade from the last book. It started out really strong, and a select few storylines were pretty solid all throughout, but towards the end, I started to feel that it wasn’t really going anywhere. It felt like half a story and I was left disappointed, expecting more. I also wasn’t …

Rating: 3 stars I wasn’t originally planning on rating this, since I was reading off the omnibus edition released somewhat recently. But oh my goodness, that version changed so much! I’ll go more into that when I review the edition as a whole, but suffice it to say that there was some serious editing that …

Rating: 5 stars So I’m shook but I’ll live. Honestly, this series went from junk food to a tasty snack so insidiously that I’m left here reeling. Besides some repetitive set pieces and the usual level of iffy editing, this was kind of amazing. The characters really shone in this. Like, even the ones who …

Rating: 4 stars Honestly, most of my thoughts from the previous book—Rogue, Warrior, Princess—still remains true with this one. The only things of particular note is that this felt like it was going to be a solid resolution up until the very end, which I suppose is okay, considering there are 8 books in this …

Rating: 1 star I buddy read this with Nana and Aless. Oh boy. I thought my expectations were low, but I guess this managed to get even lower than I thought. I know Morgan Rice’s writing is bad. All of her books that I’ve read so far have felt like a very rough first draft …
Continue reading “(REVIEW) A Throne for Sisters ~ Morgan Rice (A Throne for Sisters #1)”
Rating: 4 stars Does this deserve 4 stars? Definitely not! But I’ve been an angry reader the past few months during my slump and I wanna be a happy reader again. If Air Awakens can get 4 stars from me, so can Morgan Rice lol This felt like a huge improvement from the first book, …
Continue reading “(REVIEW) Rogue, Prisoner, Princess ~ Morgan Rice (Of Crowns and Glory #2)”
Rating: 3 stars Better than the first one but also way worse. I liked some aspects but found them to be rushed and undeveloped. The trials themselves ended too quickly for any satisfying resolution and the main conflict came a little out of nowhere. The big plot twist was obvious from the start to anyone …
