I have had this book on mt 'list' for awhile. It was worth the wait. It mixed two of my favorite genres of dystopian and lesbian fiction together. It was well researched and written. The characters were realistic and for the most part likable(there were a few you wanted to slap). The ending could have been better or another book could be written to continue the story. It just left me wanting more which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Who says picture books are just for kids? This is just the cutest thing ever. I have so many more questions festering in my head, some maybe not for young'uns, like how did Octi's parents <i>really</i> meet? Are they still together? How does their home work if one lives in water and the other on land? What does a family reunion look like? If Octi had a sibling, how would he/she look? OMG, I need a sequel!

After an attempt at reading another Margaret Moore book, I'm rather surprised at how much I enjoyed this! The two leads were very well-written and enjoyable together. I especially liked how Becca wasn't your typical run-of-the-mill heroine, and was plain and crippled, but she was also spirited, kind, and smart. The storyline was interesting and fast, and I didn't know it took place during the time of the Plantagenets, which I find extremely interesting whenever I come across it.
Not quite the story I was expecting - the book actually feels like bits of different stories have been randomly pieces together, often meaning things get a bit confusing.
As the story flows along, I also found myself liking the two main characters less and less, to the point of indifference, which makes the twist ending fall a bit flat.
There are some gripping moments along the way and the book is easy to read, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed overall.

I love this series so much. In this book there is so many unexpected twists and an unexpected ending. Spoiler warning: I wasn't expecting Rixon to be the bad guy and Marcie's father to be his vassal. I love the love story between Patch and Nora as well but, when they broke up and the thing's Patch did pissed me off. I was so happy when they got back together in the end.
Would I recommend? Yes, this book had me in aww

This is the first book in the series and what a fab start it is. This is a good easy read you'll wanting to get your teeth into. The story is about two people finding their happy ever after whether it be together or separate. The story doesn't have many hot and steamy scenes but still a fab story. This book has a fab ending. I cant wait to read more from
this author in the future.

Unorthodox Problem Solving
Weird use of teeth
Representation and a caste system that is broken. Crows are at the bottom but without them the world would die of disease.
Characters are represented subtlety and you almost miss it. It is woven so seamlessly into the plot.
The Princess Bride meets Six of Crows and together they burn the world down.
If you enjoy the As You Wish of Princess Bride than this needs to be on the top of your list.

Wow.. I love how this one brought everything together... the sisters... the guys.. the magic.. and owen's amazing yet totally crazy mother. lol All of it makes sense through this book. Only thing I don't like is that it left it where I want one more to see where they are all at in a few years lol. Especially with what happened at the end (no spoilers here). Amazing series and I'm so glad I got to read and review it.

Puzzles aren't super challenging
I really enjoyed this game, though it wasn't especially challenging. The atmosphere is super creepy, however I scare easily so other people might not find it spooky enough.
I loved how things n the environment would change randomly, which unnerved me even more. I thought the storyline was really intriguing, and enjoyed piecing it together bit by bit. The game had PT vibes.

Josh has been bugging me all year that it’s about time that we played this game again, and since we got together this past weekend for a ‘Lad & Dad’ gaming weekend, it seemed like the ideal opportunity to get it back on the table, and in doing so we rediscovered just how great a game it is.
