This book took me some time to get into and i wasn't sure what to make of it as first, but I ended up Loving the Characters so much. The writing is what drew me in and made me fall in love with the characters. I really Enjoyed this book. I can definitely say that The Raven Cycle series has the potential of becoming a new favourite of mine.

I just finished the Raven Cycle series and it does not disappoint! I really liked the whole series, I hope you do too!



Six months later is awesome!! I love being so in the narrators mind, you learn as she does! (since you obviously have great taste in books ;-P) What are you planning on reading next?!?



is this series similar to "Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard?
I just finished After You the Me Before You sequel. I didn't enjoy it at all and found it to be a very boring and confusing book. Nothing at all like the first book and in my opinion very disappointing giving the fact that I loved Me Before You.

I wouldn't really say it was :/ it was good anyway, but no magic (so far). The author called it a cross between little women and American ninja warrior so go figure, I guess. The real turn-on for me was Kalliarkos (the guy) and like I said her totally un-damsel-in-distress attitude. :)

me too i read this book (me before you) and then i watched the movie.... which was ok...but the second book not impressed. I think i was too sad over the first book ending




Nice to hear you like it! I got it for Christmas but haven't started reading it yet :)


Carry On blew me out of the water. I loved this book so much, it's probably my new favourite! I loved how there was lgbt romance in this, but the story was not based around that. It was just a fantasy novel about two people-who happen to both be male-falling in love.



Both were enjoyable.
The Forgetting was better written. I thought the very ending was a little neatly wrapped up, but it had good plot, characterization, and world building.
It was nice to see a poc heroine in Spinning Starlight. In fact, one of the few YA fantasy novels that isn't a white-dominant main race. I mean, you'd think since people can basically make up whatever races they want there would be more variety out there than there is, but no.
The book was a little unrealistic in parts. That every single person in her family (8 brothers) was a genius and inventing things by the time they were toddlers, for example. Also, the brothers were not fleshed out at all. They were basically interchangeable.

I love Maria Snyder. Not high lit - she has her flaws. But she does plot well, and you get attached to her flawed but strong characters.

After not finishing this one early this year, I decided to pick it up again. I managed to finish it and gave it a solid 4 stars
