“But books are curious objects. They have the power to trap, transport, and even transform you if you are lucky.” Start Date : October 11, 2016 End Date: October 15, 2016 Actual Rating : 4.3/5 Sefia lives in a world wherein stories are passed from mouth to mouth from mothers to daughters and people don't read. There are very few readers, and readers have powers. "There is nothing on this Earth that can make you feel as invincible or as vulnerable as love can" Start Date : October 3, 2016 End Date: October 3, 2016 Actual Rating : 4.5/5 *** I was given a given this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. Tegan is a romantic and loves her family fiercely, but does not believe in finding love for herself. She helps her family run their home-converted-getaway. She has sacrificed much for their home but she wouldn't have it any other way. That summer everything in her world changed with the coming of a VIP guest. With this guest, Tegan's world become chaotic but with it brings new life and color into her. "When you spend so long trapped in darkness, you find that the darkness begins to stare back." Start Date : August 3, 2016 End Date : August 10, 2016 Actual Rating : 4.3 / 5 After defeating Amarantha and becoming a faerie, she feels lost and does not know herself. She cannot accept all the things she have done Under The Mountain. She still fears the dark and has not fully adjusted to her new body. Although she seems she have everything, wealth, health, love and peace... she is troubled and has feels a gaping hole in herself. I am a fan of Sarah J. Maas. Although I prefer the Throne of Glass series more, this book endeared me to the series more. During the visit of SJM to the Philippines last March, she alteady revealed that this is a retelling of the story of Persephone. I adore Greek mythology so I was excited. |
