By far not my favourite of this series :p
I thought it was boring, sorry not sorry.
I am curious for Queen of Shadows though :3
Last book in the PJO series! Ahh, this is always such a ride! It was an emotional rollercoaster. I felt joy, I felt anger, I felt misunderstood, I felt alone, I felt sad and I felt like I was a hero!
This book, this series, will always have a special place in my heart! I grew up with these stories and I love them to pieces!
This book is action packed and so fast paced! It literally sucks you in and it won't let you go until after you've finished the book (or not ...)! They grew up, so so fast!
Can't wait to reread the Heroes of Olympus series!
3,5. It was a decent read! Very fast read in my opinion!
I did enjoy it, it was fun to learn more about the mystery and what has happened, but I do feel like this series could've been written in one, maybe two books.
However, when the next book releases, I'm still going to read it xD
I really like Stevie, and I know lots of people think she is annoying. She kind of is, but I still like her! The school setting and just the decor in general is amazing. It's visually written, so it's easy to imagine how it all looks!
I did enjoy it, it wasn't my favourite so far, but I do recommend it! :)
I feel so bad for not liking this, but ugh this was way too cheesy. (And the story itself had a weird obsession with grilled cheese, so it was EXTRA EXTRA cheesy ;-;)
Not a book for me. I disliked all the characters,didn't have any connection with them. The story was confusing and boring.
I will not continue with the series.
4.5 stars! I loved this.
The art is beautiful, the story is great, the characters are AMAZING. Such a good graphic novel <3
It was really good. For once, I loved the main characters. It's rare for me to like the main characters, especially from SJM's books, since I hate Feyre, Celaena, etc.
Overall I enjoyed the story. It was fast paced!
I do feel like the story could be a bit shorter, it was a bit too long at some parts of the book.
It is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than any other book she has ever written, so I do recommend it!
I was quite bored throughout the story. It had beautiful sentences though, but it was just an okay read for me.
I loooooooved it! Four stars because the disability rep could have been written better imo
It was fun, but Mia is kinda annoying in this installment, but she is a great embodiment of what a (young) teen is all about with the thoughts about love and stuff (and all that whilst dealing with her parental issues, aka being a princess).
This was a great book! I loved the atmosphere so so much. The ending was beautiful!
It's a very easy-to-read book in my opinion! Lots of stuff happening and you just want the answer to the mystery
Well, this series has such a special place in my heart and I don't think I will ever stop loving it!! ❤️
It was SO good! It was action packed and fast written. I really didn't want to put it down, only if I had to (and that was hard).
Reread July 2021: I decided to reread this book. It has been five years. I still like book one.
Rtc this week
I'm so sad I didn't like this one since I really really enjoyed The Night Circus. This was just boring and I wasn't convinced about the story at all. :c
Let's look back on my 2019 reading year! I used an older end of the year book tag, so it will be less chaotic. :pWithout further ado, let's begin. 2019 WRAP-UPBest book I read in 2019?I have to go with [b:Skyward 36642458 Skyward (Skyward, #1) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1531845177l/36642458.SY75.jpg 58411143] by Brandon Sanderson. It was my first time reading something by Sanderson and this one was on my shelves since it was released. I finally picked it up last year and I fell in love with his writing style and the characters he created inside Skyward. (Deffo picking up Starsight this year).Book I was excited about and thought I was going to love more, but I didn't?[b:Wildcard 29386918 Wildcard (Warcross, #2) Marie Lu https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1526376554l/29386918.SX50.jpg 49635633] by Marie Lu. I really really thought I would love the sequel, since I ADORED Warcross, but alas, I really disliked book two. It was boring in my opinion and I didn't care about the characters anymore. It felt like the book had a drastic cast change which wasn't great. Most surprising (in a bad or good way) book I read?One book immediatly came to my mind when I was thinking of a book that surprised me in a bad way .. UNPOPULAR OPINION COMING, BEWARE. I'm talking about [b:The Cruel Prince 26032825 The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1) Holly Black https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1574535986l/26032825.SY75.jpg 45959123] by Holly Black. In my opinion this book was very troublesome. As a reader you're introduced to some very toxic characters, like Cardan. Cardan acted like such a little child. Can't stand him at all. For over 75% of The cruel prince nothing happens. It's just boring. I feel like it's way too hyped ....Book I pushed people to read the most?Defininetly [b:Scythe 28954189 Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1) Neal Shusterman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1456172676l/28954189.SY75.jpg 49179216], [b:Thunderhead 33555224 Thunderhead (Arc of a Scythe, #2) Neal Shusterman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1505658534l/33555224.SY75.jpg 54332060] and [b:The Toll 43822024 The Toll (Arc of a Scythe, #3) Neal Shusterman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1558117336l/43822024.SY75.jpg 59222476] by Neal Shusterman. I LOVED Scythe when I first read it in December 2018. I'm recommending The arc of a Scythe series to so many people when they ask me what to read. One of my best friends has it on his TBR, because I pushed him to read it :'). Best series I read in 2019?The whimiscal [b:Strange the Dreamer 29748925 Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1) Laini Taylor https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1459436163l/29748925.SY75.jpg 48158509] by Laini Taylor. I had Strange the dreamer on my shelf since I got it in my Fairloot in March 2017. So I put it off for TWO years, because it's such a big book and I felt intimidated by it. wasn't an easy read. The writing style is very whimsical and it takes some time getting used to it, but after fifty pages I fell in love with the strange story of Lazlo. Favourite new author I discovered in 2019?Leigh Bardugo! I feel so ashamed to admit that I've read the Grisha trilogy and the Six of Crows duology for the first time in 2019!!! I did love them, great characters and I absolutely adore the setting of the books!Best book from a genre I don't typically read?In 2019 I've read books I had to read for school. I had this literature list I had to follow (35 books), so with some of them I was definitely out of my comfort zone! From my reading list I enjoyed [b:Jij bent van mij 39723057 Jij bent van mij Peter Middendorp https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1522927827l/39723057.SY75.jpg 61402426] by Peter Middendorp. This book follows the perspective of a guy who's a murderer and a rapist, but doesn't think he is. It was such an interesting book to read. It definitely was scaring me, but I highly recommend this one. (Jij bent van mij (You are mine) is only available in Dutch and German).Favourite cover of a book I read in 2019?[bc:Aurora Rising 46026495 Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle, #1) Amie Kaufman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1558982648l/46026495.SY75.jpg 50493990] Most memorable character of 2019?Thomas Cresswell! The character in the Stalking Jack the Ripper series who stole my heart from book one. I do have to say that he was even more fabulous in [b:Hunting Prince Dracula 33784373 Hunting Prince Dracula (Stalking Jack the Ripper, #2) Kerri Maniscalco https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1489420853l/33784373.SX50.jpg 50890346]. He's for sure the character that stayed with me. Book that shocked me the most? [b:The Wave 481743 The Wave Todd Strasser https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320402950l/481743.SY75.jpg 840805] by Todd Strasser. I've seen the movie Die Welle many many times and it scared me so much. The book was amazing. It captivates you from page one and it doesn't let you go long after you've finished the book. I still can't believe this book is based on true events!!!Book that made me (almost) cry?[b:Aurora Rising 46026495 Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle, #1) Amie Kaufman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1558982648l/46026495.SY75.jpg 50493990] by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. Some things happen in this book which made me cry so hard! ;-; (I still love every single bit in this book).Sequel I'm most anticipating in 2020?[b:The Winds of Winter 12111823 The Winds of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire, #6) George R.R. Martin https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1465341854l/12111823.SY75.jpg 6570035] by George R. R. Martin! Probably just some high hopes by me, but I really hope this one is getting published this year!!! ;-;Book I'm most anticipating in 2020?[b:Chain of Gold 17699853 Chain of Gold (The Last Hours, #1) Cassandra Clare https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1571379245l/17699853.SY75.jpg 19212510] by Cassandra Clare! It's about the children of two of my favourite characters from the entire Shadowhunter chronicles, WHAT ELSE DO I WANT?So this was my wrap-up! I've read 103 books in total in 2019, which is the most I've ever read in a year :3. How was your reading year?
God, it's brutal out here. Yes, another unpopular opinion, I'm on a roll! :')
These characters were so boring. Such one dimensional characters imo. I liked the Monster's POV the most, oops. AND THE ROMANCE?! What in the world was that? I never felt like the characters had ANY chemistry with each other ... And yet the MC's seem to be in a poorly (imo) executed ‘love triangle' of some sort.
The last like 40 pages were decent, twist wasn't that shocking though.
I need to learn how to DNF books when I'm not enjoying them. D:
TRIGGER WARNING: aanslag, zelfmoord, negatieve gedachtespiraal, pesten, online daten en de gevaren daarvan.
NUL trigger warnings?????? Aan de cover van dit boek kan men niet zien dat dit boek gaat over zelfmoord etc.
Tevens lijkt het alsof het verhaal zelfmoord verheerlijkt?! Dit kan echt niet. Verpak het in een ‘mooi' verwoord jasje en het is toegestaan? Ik begrijp niet hoe dit door de keuring is gekomen, zonder iets van een warning. Dit boek kan voor mensen een trigger zijn.
Verder wil ik ook nog kwijt dat het verhaal totaal niet origineel was. Een Queen bee en een stil en onzeker meisje met een vervelend verleden dat bij de clique van de populaire meisjes hoort na de verhuizing. Stil, onzeker meisje doet iets fout, Queen bee verstoot de nieuweling uit de groep en maakt het leven van het stille meisje ondraaglijk. Origineel joh, Not.
Vanaf bladzijde één weet je al dat het niet klopt, dus er zat weinig spanning in het verhaal. Tevens werkte de schrijfstijl niet mee. Het was op een zeer onprettige manier geschreven; het verhaal ging ook van de hak op de tak. Dit boek had veel meer potentie kunnen hebben, maar heeft er, helaas (?), niks van gebakken.
De personages zijn erg eenzijdig, nauwelijks uitgewerkt voor mijn gevoel. Jammer, ik had meer redenen willen weten. Meer willen zien van de gedachtes van Queen bee Vic en van Cato. Meerdere pov's zou dit boek al sterker maken. De personages fatsoenlijk uitwerken.
Trouwens, er stonden redelijk wat spelfouten in het boek. #ergernissen
Dit was afschuwelijk.
