Book Review: These Broken S..

I’ve never disliked two main characters more than in These Broken Stars. Lilac was a bit stuck up and a little too concerned with how her father would react the whole time (even when surviving on an unknown planet) which I guess we find out she has a good reason for. Tarver is just kind of boring and bland – too chivalrous – too perfect – rather annoying. The whole premise also is weird and funky with a deserted planet but not … it’s seemingly haunted yet not. It’s an odd plot and the ending wraps it up yet there’s […]

Book Review: This Shattered..

Taking place shortly after the events of These Broken Stars, This Shattered World introduces us to a new world and a new set of characters. I had pretty high hopes for This Shattered World going into it. I knew this time around there would be little to no Lilac and Tarver, which was fine with me. But I was really curious to see how everything would tie together from These Broken Stars. This Shattered World starts off, pacing wise, just like These Broken Stars. The plot begins by heavily focusing on our characters. Their individual stories told via dual POVs. […]

Book Review: These Broken S..

At first glance, These Broken Stars looked to be just another space romance. A retelling of Titanic even. However, despite the less than stellar feelings this summary was giving me, These Broken Stars had one advantage that I knew would make me read this book no matter what… Meagan Spooner. I am not the type of person who will always read everything and anything as long as it is by X author. However, Meagan Spooner has proven to me how incredibly talented she is, and I knew that even if the book was a glorified retelling of Titanic, there would […]

Book Review: Shadowlark

Last year, Skylark took me by storm. In a time where dystopians have begun to feel oversaturated as a topic, Skylark was exactly what I was needing to believe that there are still amazing dystopian tales to be told. Just the right amount of romance. Plenty of creativity and originality. A twist, I never, ever saw coming. Skylark was a read that I was happy to sing praises about. The same can be almost said for Shadowlark. Shadowlark was an easy sequel to slip back into. However, I did have a bit of an issue with the beginning since there […]

Book Review: Skylark

Lately, I have been down in the dumps about reading. Books that normally would get me out of my funk have done nothing to help. Picking up Skylark, I thought, 'Hmm, something so familiar yet different. Let's see what this book can do.' And oh, boy, was it an adventure. Skylark is one of those reads that you really cannot put your finger on. Dystopian, magical, and science fiction elements all tossing and turning together to create this new type of read. It was new… fresh… exciting exploring the world that Spooner created. But, and this may be a big […]
