I originally picked this book up based on the cover and the idea of two juxtaposed characters. They are sisters? One is a redhead, one is a pale blonde? One sister is a queen and one has powers? Sounds kind of like Frozen! I loved the idea of this book but the characters made it hard to love. They were very flawed and constantly questioned themselves and their “power.” I typically enjoy the theme of “coming into ones powers” but these characters struggled to ever do that. They also were consistently thwarted by older people and listened to their elders for most of the novel instead of standing by their own decision making. In the end it was a good story and I will most likely read a sequel if they have it but I wish the characters were a little better. Maybe in the next book!

Fun plot line and very enjoyable characters but the ending was predictable.

I loved this book. The best part was the giant spider. I love spiders.

I loved the first book and I loved this sequel. This is one of those books that makes me want to finish it in one sitting, but I force myself to savour it knowing how much more enjoyable it will be to make it last. I love Ben and Arthur. Their friends are incredible. Everyone has grown since the first book, yet still have so much growing up to do. At the end of the day, everyone is just trying to do their best. This book made me laugh, melt from heartwarming moments, and gasp at unexpected and difficult situations. Silvera and Albertalli delivered yet another LGBT classic!

V.E. Schwab has been on my TBR list ever since This Savage Song was released, but I hadn't gotten around to reading anything by her yet (so many books, so little time). I picked up the Extraordinary graphic novel, and really liked the storyline. It reminded me a little of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman mixed with the Harper Connolly series by Charlaine Harris. I love fantasy/dystopian, and this story made me want to move Schwab's novels up on my reading list.

I really liked this book for a few reasons. It was great seeing a good range of characters. We had some in their 40s, some in their 20s and some ancient. I liked it better than some YA where there are only people in their late teens or early 20s. I didn’t like how many POVs there were. I do like how they left the POV of the “evil” character and we got to kind of see her “descent into evil.” I don’t like the premise of “what waits” or basically the devil. It seems kind of weird and like it doesn’t fit. Aveyard could have just made the main character the one who is “evil” for the sake of being evil. I also love Dom but wish he had more depth. I will probably read the next book in the series.

As an adult I am sad to say I had never read this book before. I loved this book it is quit riveting a real page turner. I just had to know what happened next. For the time period it is set in the caricatures are very unique. They are all very interesting and have so much depth you almost feel as if you are with them. This book made me laugh, cry, and even gasp at some points because there were unexpected things.

Love

Adored this graphic novel & moving on to the rest of the series. :)
