What to say about this one?

I hate to post bad reviews, but I really didn't like this one much! There are too many characters! It got very hard to keep track of who is loyal to who, who is sleeping with who...etc...

I think the author tried to introduce every character & species in the first book of the series and overloaded it a bit!

2 stars...I may read the second one...I don't know yet!

I wanted to like Stohl's version of Carol Danvers... Wanted being key. This book (and the 'Mighty Captain Marvel' series) skews to a younger demographic, that I'm just not part of anymore. I know they want to get young readers, so it does accomplish that, I think.
Yet another rehash of a story that's been told over and over. How many times does Carol have to lose control of her damn powers? Nothing new here, move along.

Sad to be at the end
I have been fully invested in this series, even though it started with the most heart breaking of books. Many thought book two was unnecessary but I didn’t. STILL ME made me laugh, smile, bitch, sigh and scream and I loved each audio minute. I’m so glad I walked with Louisa to the end.

The narration was perfect and Louisa’s character was captured beautifully. Other accents and characters were also well portrayed.
  
I love the 4 books in this series each one i read was a great page turner and made me want to read more, I am reading Vampire Diaries THE RETURN: Shadow Souls. I do admit I didn't get grabbed first of but I did go back to it once I refreshed my head with another book I brought. I do admit I more prefer the first 3 but I will continue to check them out.
  
I received a copy of The Girl the Sea Gave back from Wednesday Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. It's the second in the series but I honestly didn't feel I missed anything by not reading the first one.

I loved the short flashback to Halvard and Tova's pasts.

I saw in some reviews that people thought there was too much romance but honestly I didn't get that at all.

A short non-fiction ebook that draws comparisons from the magic written by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series to the historical myths and folklore from which it's based. Invisiability, transforming into a creature, and warding off evil are just a few of the topics you'll find in this book.

I found this to be a fascinating read and would recommend it to any fans of Harry Potter who are interested in Mythology and Folklore.

It was a well written book series, I did enjoy reading it as there is adventure, love interest, suspense and cliff hangers throughout however it is not on my favourite shelf as it didn’t hook me in as other books that I have read. I crave the books that I cannot put down and end up reading until 3am. Sadly, this was not one of those but don’t get me wrong, it was still enjoyable to read.
