Everless is one of the books that I actually listened to on Audible. I’m always a bit apprehensive when I purchase an audiobook because it’s a lot money to waste on something that might have a narrator that you can’t connect with, and won’t be able to listen to for 10 hours. LUCKILY, I really liked the narrator for Everless. She made the story come to life and voiced the characters so well! …
I started the audiobook for Daughter of the Siren Queen straight after I finished the first book because I just couldn’t get enough of Alosa and her adventures. I am SO GLAD that I didn’t have to wait a year in between each book because I don’t know how I would have managed. …
I wasn’t actually EVER going to read this book. I’m not a massive fan of pirates, and I genuinely thought that it was a middle-grade novel. It is DEFINITELY NOT a middle-grade novel, and this novel takes the tropes of a pirate and flips them on their head. …
Hey, look! It’s another graphic novel review! And it’s another graphic novel that I requested from Netgalley! Except this graphic novel is so much different than to what I normally read in graphic novel format, and it definitely has a different artwork style than to what I’m used to. But hey. I like branching out when it comes to graphic novels, so I wanted to give Spectacle a go! …
I had to read this book for my monthly Waterstones book club, and guess what? I didn’t read it in time. I had read 80 pages, and at the book club, I was given spoilers for the rest of the book, but I wasn’t really that bothered. BUT! 1 week later, I finished it, and these are my thoughts… …
Like with Graceling, I listened to Fire on audiobook with Emma Powell narrating it, and after loving Graceling, I was so excited to get round to reading Fire. It was only recently that I actually found out that Fire is actually a spin-off prequel to Graceling and not an immediate sequel. So it follows a completely different character, and a different storyline, but it’s set in the same world… But in a different part of the world. …
“Po,” she said to his back, “where’s your coat?”
“Where’s yours?”
She moved to stand beside him. “I’m warm.”
He tilted his head to her. “If you’re warm and I’m coatless, there’s only one friendly thing for you to do.”
“Go back and get your coat for you?”
– Kristin Cashore, Graceling
I have been meaning to read this series FOR SO LONG! So when my audible account renewed and I got a credit for the month, I used it to buy Graceling on audiobook (even though I had the physical copy – I was going a bit crazy with audiobooks with that month). So as soon as I purchased the audiobook, I started it straight away, and fell into the world of the Gracelings. …
The Passion of New Eve was another book that I had to read for my Gender, Sex and Culture class for university. I’m normally a massive fan of Angela Carter’s writing but TPONE was a story that I just couldn’t wrap my head around.
*spoilers ahead* …
The Damned graphic novel series is actually the first graphic novel series that I have ever requested from Netgalley. I thought that it would be weird reading a graphic novel on my phone/laptop as illustrations are a massive part in the storytelling process. However, it turned out to be not that bad! …
I’m always looking for new graphic novels to read! I love discovering new stories in different formats. After seeing The Damned being advertised on Netgalley, I read the description and it sounded like something that I had never read before, so I decided to give it a go! …
