Plot wise- I don’t hate it, but I do feel with a writing talent like this, it is a shame to write such a short story. I missed depth. A missed action. I missed emotions!
I feel like this author could really get a good and believable story to life, if she just took the time to build up the characters and the emotions. She really got talent here. It was pleasant to read.
Gwen was likeable, but didn’t get a deep connection with her. Kash seemed okay as well. Nothing really fancy there.
It’s insta-love/insta-mating, so I do think it is why I don’t really believe there are genuine in their feelings, but again that is really hard to accomplish.
It was good, but I am not screaming over how amazing this one is.

This book was one long perfect tension full “fight” between my dear Poppy and her Dark One, Prince Cas.
The drama, the tension, the emotions, I am ALLThis book was one long perfect tension full “fight” between my dear Poppy and her Dark One, Prince Cas.
The drama, the tension, the emotions, I am ALL for it. Actually I can’t be more happy. It’s just right up my alley. This is what I mean when I say I want romance with tension. And the amount of questions we got answered in this was just right. I hate it when a MC doesn’t question things. Doesn’t want to learn. But Poppy wanted to learn everything. And I am so glad she did, because I wanted to learn everything there is to know about this dreamy world that Armentrout has created.
Stunning story telling, stunning characters, and just downright stunning sequel.

I found their love cheesy and without any substance. Leo was a sweetheart, but I prefer a “protector”. Lily was not a character I could relate to. I do like the premise of the book, sadly I didn’t enjoy the execution. The dramatic parts just seemed forced, and I won’t even call them that dramatic.

I have seen countless of movies sprung from the tale of “”the journey to the center of the earth” and I thought it was about time to experience the true story.
It was a classic adventure tale that had a bit of a slow start, but wrapped up in glory. Due to the time it was written it was a vastly different language that despite me having a few issues here and there I strangely enjoyed. I can understand why Jules Verne was considered ahead of his time.

The book is a massive. There are hundreds and hundreds of places throughout the world. The book is beautifully crafted together and very easy on the eyes. I really like how it’s just small snippets about everything. Hotels, restaurants, museums, a bit of history etc.
I have already visited a good deal of places in Europe in this book, and it’s so much fun to see.
I will however say, some of the places recommended in the book are quite pricy, but there are plenty of places to see within anyone’s budget if one wishes to.

First time reading McFadden. The story was gripping enough, but not overly complicated. It was very easy to read and follow along with the storyline. I picked a lot of the action up before it was revealed, and for the rest I had suspicions.
The number of characters were also very low, which made it even more simple. I did enjoy it. McFadden got me invested in the story, and I wanted to find out how everyone got where they got. Personally I prefer a lot more depth in a story and characters. And to be honest there was no character development, which also does not help my rating. I could not relate to the characters (which in this case I am quite happy with), but since I couldn’t it did not make the book special to me.
The ending was wicked, and I respect what McFadden did there. That was clever.

The book of the dead tells the story of the journey in the afterlife. It consist of hyms, magical spells, and prayers.
We are shown the papyrus of Ani, one of the most famous and well-known papyrus. There is no doubt in my mind that the papyrus itself deserves a 5 star rating, and this book very simply describe what we saw on the papyrus, and in addition the translated script. The reason I settled on 4 stars was the fact that despite my curiosity of the culture and the old texts, my knowledge of what all these gods, places and ceromonies are very limited. Which translated into me having a hard time connecting the information....more
