Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Royal Chase (The Royals of Monterra, #2) in Books

Jul 12, 2018

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first Sariah Wilson novel and I'm glad that the cover caught my eye. I have always loved fairy-tales and any book that has a princess makes me want to read it. The characters in this book were really cute. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the characters and the banter was a lot of fun.

The plot line was a little predictable but I was still able to enjoy it. Ultimately, this was a good read that helped me take my mind off of my every day stresses.

Well that was enlightening - I never knew what any of the words meant - I had seen a video online where individuals label people as what they think they are - and I had no idea what anything meant, this was quite informative - though they now need a book about ALL individuals, because there were some words used in that video I still have no idea what they mean - a guide like this for all genders would be superb. The graphics were cute and the "voices" in it were also well done and thought out. A great GN for those wanting to learn a bit about gender neutrality!

Well well well I'm mightily impressed Mrs Stephens. Mightily impressed. Easily up there on top as one of the best debuts I've read this year. Easily.

Great characters and plot work. A even balance between omg how cute (<i>that</i> chapter and holy shit how EVIL!

Evil being the overruling theme of this book with a great set of bad guys and an even greater set of good guys - let the Dancer's Light be upon you s'all I'm sayin'

Godblind had it's own flair for the dramatic and the quick switching between points of view gave the book it's own edge.

Can I have book 2 now?

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Peppa Pig: Peppa's Magical Unicorn in Books

Nov 14, 2018

My daughter loves both Unicorns and Peppa Pig so I thought this would be a great one to get from the library. It's a great little story and the book itself is just stunning to look at. The front cover is a beautiful blue and is covered in glitter, the artwork is very good and the story itself is cute and well written. My 3 year old does have a bit of a short attention span when it comes to books which are a bit wordy so I might re-visit this one again when she's a bit older. Highly recommended for children who love Unicorns and Peppa Pig.

I didn't know anything about this series before I borrowed the first book from the library. I thought it was probably going to be pretty juvenile, and that I'd return it right away. However, I'm pleasantly surprised. While it is about children, the book is rated for older teens. It's funny, innocent, and cute, and then it quickly starts going in different directions that make it a bit dark, frustrating, a little creepy. The only real negative opinion that I have about it is that it seems to have a bit of a repetitive nature towards this volume's end. I'm looking forward to moving onto book two, though!
