The story itself has a lot of promise for future books, with a mystery that hasn't been solved by the end. As one would say: There's always a bigger fish.
It got something for everyone - those seeking sweet moments, hot moments, those who also wants action in their books and those who're just here for the romance.
I really hope for a second book that follows the dramatics of this one!
Holy macaroni.
You can read this book even if you haven't played any of the KOTOR games. You just wouldn't know many of the characters (unless you've played SWTOR).
We're introduced to some of our KOTOR gang again and they embark on a new adventure to figure out what Revan is dreaming about.
The ending had my brain in shambles, and you have to read it to understand why.
If you're into light humour and romanced mixed in, then go for it!
My first book by Mia Pride and probably not the last. A sweet, fun book about learning to trust and love. And then it's a historical romance - just up my alley!
Love me a good cliffhanger.
The issue with this book was the... I think term is sexual innuendos between minors, even if they're not doing them. It's just wrong.. if that was the way the author wanted to go they should've made them teenagers from the beginning, not near the end.
3.5 stars.
I can't figure out if I really enjoyed the book or not...
It was interesting enough, but at the same time it dragged out..
Read this in a day and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Our protagonist is Bianca, a 24 year old woman who hasn't had much luck in the action department. We follow her and her lovers from inexperienced to experienced
I was so ecstatic to find out a manga was being made for one of my favourite JRPGs out there. But what happened to the manga is the same thing, that happens to books being made into movies.. It's just reversed here. As someone who's played the game before I read this, I know a lot of things have been put aside for it to be able to be a manga. So the story in the manga is way more fast-paced than in the game itself.
Even so, if you're looking for a manga/story with a kick-ass heroine and a good storyline, give it a go and if you enjoyed the manga, but feel like you're missing plotholes etc. give the game a go. It's such a masterwork, from music to story and scenery.

I was so close to DNFing this book, but ended up skipping the parts that made me feel like DNFing.
Romance was meh, characters were a bit bland.
Jeg blev positiv overrasket over at komme tilbage i Pini's fantasy verden.
Eleverfolket hiver dig med i spænding fra side et til den sidste side. Tegningerne er pæne, handlingen hænger sammen og man kan lide karaktererne.
Just like the previous manga in the series, it's very fast paced than the game itself. For whatever reason, I found this manga a bit longer and harder to get through than it's predecessor.
Very mixed feelings. Action were spot on through the whole book but the romance was lackluster.
3.5 stars. Mainly due to the leave-return-leave between Marissa and Butch. Got annoying after a while. Like c'mon, your boyfriend is with the brotherhood, what did you expect?
DNF @ 17%
I suppose these insecure girl who got crush on childhood friend in a band-cliche is not for me.
“Safta always says, the Holocaust didn't start with actions - it started with words, and I have seen how dangerous such words can be.”
A book with good promise, but somewhat bad executed.
It dragged out too much and when the two protagonists finally meet, its boring and not worth the build-up.
This book tugged at my heartstrings. I still remember the day I found out Tim died. It was the first time I cried over a celebrities death. I played his music that whole evening, and to this day his music has a dear space in my heart.
“Tim Bergling's death shocked the music world. His musical courage, the playful way in which he brought together different styles and elements, was praised in the press. At the same time, millions of fans testified to the importance of his music in their lives. Tim's melodies and lyrics, characterised by light and hopefulness, were a strengthening force when life was tough.”
This biography tells the story of a young Swedish boy from being unknown, to being famous. His struggles with addiction. How hard it is for mental health to be in that world, and mental health in general.
Ending this review with saying it's okay to get help, it's okay not to be okay. Keep your eyes open on your surroundings, if you might suspect someone might be going through tough times.
Thank you Måns Mosesson for bringing his struggles to the light and thank you Tim, for your fantastic music. Rest in peace.
If you're in for a fun, short, somewhat spicy fantasy read, then you might need to give this book a go.
3.5 stars.
I was pretty close to DMFing this book when I was around 40% in. Nothing interesting didn't really happen... But the tide turns around 50 - 60% in and it got pretty interesting. It was a bit of a let down considering I read the two first books fairly quick.
The book can be read as a stand-alone, but start with the first.
