My Thoughts: When I heard the synopsis for To Kill A Kingdom, I knew that it was something I needed to read ASAP! It has all the elements I look for in a fantasy: an original and innovative retelling of The Little Mermaid, a unique fantasy world (sirens!) and pirate-y elements. I wasn’t wrong in how quickly this one drew me in! Lira is the daughter of the Sea Queen and a siren – a vicious, dangerous siren and yet, there […]
Why Did I Read? Vlad the Impaler story with a badass female lead? Historical fiction? I was so in. My Thoughts: I have really complicated feelings about this book. I really liked most parts of it but some parts really dragged and left me feeling underwhelmed. The book starts off with our main character Lada as a young child growing up — we see that from a young age she is already fierce, strong and determined. She has a will […]
The Sound: I really liked the audio narrators! I always like when there are two narrators for a dual POV book and I thought both did such a great job. They definitely fit how I pictured the characters to sound — for example, Luna is a bit naive and the narrator for her definitely sounded young and innocent. The Story: I had been really excited for this fantasy and I have to say… it fell a bit short for me. […]
The Sound: Similar to my thoughts on The Selection audio, I liked the narrator, I thought she suited America well. However, the different voies would blend The Story: Alright. I really enjoyed The Selection. I liked the world, I liked Maxon, I had no problems with America, I was eager for more! But ohhhh the triangle drove me absolutely NUTS in this one. The Selection has now been narrowed to the Elite — six final girls. What’s next?? Well. America literally waffles […]
The Sound: The narrator was pretty good, I had no complaints. Sometimes the different voices blended together a bit but nothing too bad. The Story: You know, this series garners such passionate reactions from both ends of the spectrum! Honestly, the mixed reviews had me so hesitant to pick this up. But Kelly convinced me that it was worth it to check it out! And I’m glad I did! See, I love the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. It’s my guilty […]
