Wauw...
Interesting world.
Fascinating.
Magic system is a bit flat (in book one at least).
A good cliffhanger.
A bit predictable, but also a lot of unexpected turns.
I'm looking forward for book 2!!
1st time reading: 3 stars. It was fun, but not breathtaking.
2nd time: 3.5 I was a little more invested with the story. I feel like the plot has great potential, but it just didnt use it. The first 100 pages were good and the last 50 were also good.
I did not know it to be possible, but it was even better than book 1... You think it's going slow, but there is a lot happening. And the end is just... Wauw. There isn't anything else to say. This is my second book by Brandon Sanderson and I am loving his writing style. He keeps you deep into the story, even when nothing is happening. Because you only think nothing is happening. In reality everything is happening. Well if that made any sense, or of that made no sense at all. Go read these books! They are so good.
Since this book seems to be in a lot of reading lists, I wanted to pick it up. But the story was boring and expected. The writing is not very special.
This was my first Terry Pratchett or Neil gaiman book. I didn't enjoy myself whilst reading good omens. The writing style isn't my favorite. When you want to read this book you need to know the basics of the Bible and the apocalypse. I didn't know enough and that ruined the story a bit for me. The humor got better throughout the book. I think I just needed to get used to it. I do think its a good book. I just didn't really like it.
Its an amazingly magical read. I understood everything and at the same time I was utterly confused. It gave me just what I needed, without me knowing I needed it. Would definitely recommend.
Good I between read! The story is not very happy. The writing is good, although not very high end. The story was, for me, original. I really enjoyed the read, but probably won't revisit it. Read it in one day.
Normally I wouldn't read books like this, but I thought why not? It is one of the few books my local library offers as an audiobook. And I liked it!! It entertained me! But if I am being honest, I am getting tired of all the love stories and it is just the second book XD
I really liked this book!! It was something new entirely. It's about a girl in a modern western time. When her father wants to send her away to another town, so she can be some strangers wife with the sole purpose of getting children, she runs away with her best friend.
When I was well over halfway I did began to worry when the action would come. It did become a bit boring and I kinda lost the plot line. But that was all forgotten when the finale did start!!!
I loved it as a stand alone and I would read a part two, if it ever came out. I do reccomend everyone to read it!
At first I didn't understand this book. Then it clicked and I loved it! The writing is confusing (that may be my lack of experience with this kind of book) and beautiful.
It keeps you on the edge of your seat, without anything exciting ever happening.
I listened to the audiobook and I really liked it! It is different from what I normally read, but I am definitely going to read more of it! It is simple and easy to read and I fly through it.
It had a pretty good rating, so i started with enthousiasm. The blur on the back talks about female warriors and a prioress who teaches swordwork. Well it was not about female warriors. It was about a woman, who comes to the abbes and becomes prioress. She changes how things are done and gets different reactions for it. The beginning was okay, but I had to force myself to read it after a 100 pages. There are better books out there.
Wow... I really liked it!!! It is the perfect combination of a love story and bdsm. I am fairly new to the bdsm world, so I really liked the uncertainty of Toby. I definitely recommend it!
