Not the Girls You’re Looking For is way more hard hitting than I had expected. Based on the synopsis I thought it’d be a fun, fluffy high school read with a dash of drama. Sure, there’s drama and the prose is typical of that sort of book but it is a whole lot more intense.
RENEGADES by Marissa Meyer
Explorations of good versus evil that are firmly cemented in the grey zone often give rise to the best works of fiction. They also are the types of books I live for! So when I learnt that Marissa Meyer decided to venture there with her latest series, of course I was intrigued. Renegades has much to offer and despite some flaws that made me raise an eyebrow, is a promising start to the series.
WINTER by Marissa Meyer
Winter’s release was postponed by many months, leading to lots of sadness all around. As consolation, we received Fairest (#3.5) earlier this year to ease the waiting. Now the question is, was it worth waiting so long for Winter? I say, definitely! For one, it takes a lot of time to write 824 pages. It also takes a very long time to edit these pages to perfection.
FAIREST (The Lunar Chronicles #3.5) by Marissa Meyer
Winter is coming! In the lead-up to its release I realized that I hadn’t posted my review of Cress and Fairest yet. So, here we go with my thoughts on Fairest, which I enjoyed a lot. The focus on Queen Levant added a fresh perspective to the series since she’s the villain in The Lunar Chronicles.
