Review

Plot: So the beginning is really confusing. For the first couple chapters everything is from a different persons point of view and its in a different time. This alone made the book really hard for me to get into because I was constantly confused as to what was going on. It's after a long long time that you actually know who Eliana is! And even then its not really her point of view, its sort of everyone's. The whole plot is really confusing and really hard for me to get into.
Character(s): Eliana - I feel like her character wasn't very developed. One minute she's this strong independant woman, the next she's crying and pouting over silly things. At first she doesn't need anyone than she's relying on the boys to do everything. Honestly I didn't really care about her.
Cover: The cover is probably my favorite part. It's what got me excited in the first place. I love the big dress and the whole theme of the cover. So pretty!
Closing Thoughts: What the author does is she'll just put massive chunks of detail and some of it isn't even important! The way she writes is very annoying to me. I feel mean reviewing this particualr book but at the same time, I couldn't even get through it! It was so annoying I stopped and couldn't continue. I didn't even finish! It's really long as well and just not very interesting. One thing she did do well is that I could tell she really thought out her story. I could tell she had this whole world all laid out, she just put the information in all the wrong places. Why do I need to know the history of the bad guy when we don't even know who he is yet? Why does it matter so much about the mom whose already dead? Maybe if I finished it would have made more sense but it felt like she dwelt so miuch on the little details that the big picture slipped away.

Sweet Daydreams,
Brooke

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books I Want to Reread

TTT is a weekly feature held by the Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic are books that we would love to reread. Here's my list: 1. The Book Thief by Mark Zusak Beautifully written and a different take and perspective on a huge event in our history. This was a school read, but everyone in my class was captivated by it. 2. Got Fangs? by Katie Maxwell It was absolutely hilarious and some of the best kissing scenes I've ever read. I kept up with this series and would love to reread how it all began between Fran and Ben. 3. Beastly by Alex Flinn This is one of the best YA book I've read so far. It's so simple with being based in Brooklyn, but I love the development of the characters and budding romance. 4. The Replacement  by Brenna Yovanoff I tried to read this at first and could not get through it. I wan to read it in the future since I know how well-written it is and what the heck Mackie is. 5. Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce I absolutely love adaptions and th...
