>> CURRENTLY READING <<
The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson (PBK)
The Left Behinds by David Potter (ARC)
I just finished The Accident Season last night and my shredded reading feels weren't clear what they wanted to read so I grabbed these two. An amazing fantasy may be just what I need to pull me out of the contemporary mire, but a historic and comical middle grade may be more my brain's speed right now...
The Girl of Fire & Thorns by Rae Carson (ARC)
4 Stars. An engrossing read with a realistic main character, vivid description, diverse world, and intense religion, even if the magic was rather weird. SO glad I have the entire series on hand to binge! Review to come.
The Accident Season by Moira Fowley-Doyle (ARC)
3 Stars. This was not my kind of read. I like my stories light, not heavy, and this was most definitely a heavy story. The longer I read it the heavier I felt, like it was slowly piling bricks on my chest. If this hadn't been a review book I wouldn't have made myself finish it, and unlike the few other contemporaries I've read I didn't get anything out of it except a slightly depressed week. But while it was heavy and depressing, it was also highly imaginative and rather beautiful, and I think it will prove a rather breathtaking read for those who enjoy this kind of story. Review to come.
Sakura Hime vol. 3 by Arisa Tanemura (PBK)
Volume 2 wasn't quite as good as Volume 1, but I'm up to continue the series.
So what are you reading this week?
