“Morning Star” by Pierce Brown • Book Review
“Forget a man’s name and he’ll forgive you. Remember it, and he’ll defend you forever.”
★★★★ (3.5 / 5 stars) WOW. This book moved a lot slower than the first two in the series, but WHAT AN ENDING. There were still many-a-plot-twist that broke my bloodydamn heart and many characters to mourn.
I highly recommend this Saga overall, and the audiobook narrator is FAN-bloody-TASTIC!
“Red Rising” by Pierce Brown • Book Review
“So much pain. I had thought it would be over, but not all scars heal. Not all sins are forgiven.”
★★★★★ (5 / 5 stars) HO-LY CRAP. I am at a loss for words. If I were talking to you in person, it would just be a nonstop stutter because I don't even know how to form sentences at this point. You're lucky my fingers are even strong enough to be typing this right now. Can we just— I mean— I feel so— Darrow just— my heart...
“Flawed” by Cecelia Ahern • Book Review
“To be courageous is to feel fear within, every step of the way...It takes courage to overcome, but it takes extreme fear to be courageous.”
★★★ (2.8 / 5 stars) Maybe because dystopian novels are my favorite, I'm more critical of them. I am hoping the sequel, Perfect, redeems this duology, but to put it bluntly, Flawed left me bored and disappointed.
Celestine North, our main character and narrator, was hard for me to connect with from the start, and while she suffered traumatically, she did very little for me to like her.
