Spindle Fire

Everything was good at first, but then it got kinda dull and the writing made it hard to understand sometimes, especially when it came to the faeries point of view.

I loved the relationship Isbe and Aurora had with each other. I loved that they communicate using taps. Also the twist on the sleeping beauty story. Aurora mute and can't feel anything touch-wise and Isbe is blind and the half sister of Aurora.


Although I loved the relationship between Isbe and Gilbert, I couldn't stand when Heath kept touching Aurora and saying things like, “I need you” while looking deep into her eyes. You barley even know her! It was creepy and VERY annoying!

I haven't read a Sleeping Beauty retelling yet so I had to snag this duology. It's been on my shelf for a bit and I finally grabbed it to read...and I'm glad I did.

I loved the fast-paced and rhythmic writing and especially the story of Aurora and her sister Isabelle. Their sisterly bond made me a tad jealous

Alhoewel dit boek ook wel wat van de typische YA-tropen bevat, was dit toch een verbazingwekkend originele interpretatie van de schone slaapster.
Ik hield enorm van de benamingen, het idee van de tienden en de echo van de zusterlijke banden.
Eindigt wel met een cliffhanger, dus meteen boek twee besteld.

yo 2 out of the 2 YA fantasy novels i've read recently set up love triangles and then end, like please write a complete story thanks

I've given this book almost 50% and not a single thing has held my attention. So, alas, to the DNF pile it goes.
