Review: Cinder

By on
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“But if there was one thing she knew from years as a mechanic, it was that some stains never came out.”

I can staunchly tell that this book is the best re-telling I have read ever. Note that I read this book a year ago and just adding the review.

So, Cinder is like any other Cinderella with a small difference. She is a cyborg. Yes, you heard me right. Well, I wouldn't say that she is a robot. She is human. She just has some appendages replaced and the cause as to why that happened is quite dark. She has the worst aunts. Not one, but two. Imagine the pain. She is a Lunar Princess, and she doesn't even know that. Her injuries are caused by an aunt she didn't know she had. There are a lot of things she doesn't know. So, her story is that of self-discovery. When she learns the truth, everything changes. I feel that the first and the last book in the series are the best. I don't know if that is some kind of Primary and Recency Bias.

In her book, Meyer develops different worlds, and she does succeed. There are spaceships, bitter step-sisters, a Prince, another planet, and a wanted mechanic Princess. Cinder develops a lot throughout the whole series.

Overall, I loved the series. I would recommend it to the people who don't mind dystopia fantasy with some romance.

Review: The Beholder

By on
The Beholder by Anna Bright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Thank you HaperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. The Beholder is an equal mix of politics and romance intertwingled together just right. As I began the book, I questioned myself what this book would intel since the beginning seems so simplistic. It starts with the dilemma leading Selah to go around the continent to find the one. The plot is set based on so many fairy tales. I thought that it would be something cliche, but I loved the surprise that I got. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I wonder what other books in the series will bring. I had never imagined that The Beholder was a ship, to be honest. The shock that I got at the end was predictable to some extent, however, the degree of it surprised me. I would recommend this book to some who like the mix of fairy tale, romance, and historical fiction. It is comparable to The Selection, but not quite making it a un

Review: Evermore

By on
Evermore by Sara Holland My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thanks to HarperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. 3&1/2 star Oh boy. This book was a very fast read. I personally enjoyed this book, but it was somewhat boring. Plus, I thought that the plot was a little bit rushed creating holes. What I really mean is that I love the whole concept of the Alchemist and the Sorceress. It is definitely unique. As such, I feel as though Holland did not do justice to the book by ending everything so soon. There are books that end sooner than they should while others are stretched beyond purpose. This series is the former kind is all I am saying. In essence, I was satisfied with the ending. The writing quality is good as well. I would recommend this book to some who are just looking for a quick read. View all my reviews

Love & Luck

Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch My rating: 4 of 5 stars "Do you know what I love about humans, pet? Its our dogged stupidity. When it comes to love we never learn. Ever. Even when we know the risks." So, I don't know about you, but I learned this simple fact: Irish four leaf clover= Faith+Luck+Love+Hope mostly love though... Last year, I read Love & Gelato by Welch. I really enjoyed journeying with Lina through the imaginary streets of Italy I created while reading the book. So, when I picked up Love & Luck, I thought that it would be similar to Lina's story, in a way. I was kind of surprised and happy that it was just another unique story. I mean tell me: where will you find a book which will act as your Lady guide while helping you mend your heart? Or, in this case, tear your heart apart to start a new chapter... As you might know from the synopsis, Addie is visiting Ireland for aunt's third wedding? After the wedding, she is supposed to
