Couldn't finish

Not apart of the new review collection


I'm attempting to write this review while sitting in my AP Lit class. I just couldn't take it anymore. Lately, reading books hasn't been my top priority. We alllll know that. But. . . . This book took me FOREVER. I seriously wish I could tell you why. I can't. . .

Well, I'll try.

I'm not going to summarize the book. Just read the summary or someone elses review because everyone seemed to love it.

But me.

I quit this book with at least fifty more pages left until I finished. I just feel like this book was incapable of grabbing my attention.

Kay, I lied. A few chapters grabbed my attention but I liked a few of the characters and all the others were just easy to hate.

Kristin Cashore has a tendency to not reeeeally get into a book until about 200 pages in. That's how Graceling was. I gave Graceling a shot, it ended up being one of my most favorite books of alllll time. I hoped that this book would give me the same satisfaction.

It didn't. If you have patience, I would suggest you read this book and see how you like it. If not, I feel it's a waste of time. But, I looooove Cashore. So I'm definitley still going to read Bitterblue.

We'll just have to see what happens with that book. :)
