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.

Good concept, somewhat boring execution. Wanted more murder and drama and less pinning.

This book was different than what I usually read. The book starts off with a main character that has little to no idea what is happening to her or the people around her. The book doesn't start to reveal what is happening until almost the end. This leaves the plot confusing and ultimately somewhat hard to understand what is happening at times. The narrator was very unreliable and the other characters were kind of shallow. I wished that there were multiple POVs that way the reader had a better understanding of the plot. That said, I will say the book had me on the edge of my seat most of the time and it was a quick read. I'd say it read like a suspense/mystery/thriller novel for 75% of the book and the other 25% is dystopian and Sci-Fi. It wasn't a book I would read again but I enjoyed it for the short book it was.

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 love books by J.L. Armentrout. Her writing can sometimes be cringeworthy but for the most part her world building is good and her characters are super likeable. I'm particularly in love with Roth. He's the perfect bad boy love interest for this series. The trope of "He doesn't like anyone but me" is one of my favorites. Cheesy but oh well! I have already read the spinoff series from this one. I think this series might be a little bit better so far but it could just be the fact that now I've got some blanks filled in (my fault for reading them out of order). These books remind me of moms romance novels but in a good way. I would definitely love to finish the series.

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!

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!

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

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