So this is what a book hangover feels like... Danielle L. Jensen I just want to thank you for putting this into the world! I stumbled upon this book because of Regan from Peruse Project. I added this book to read eight months ago and I've been kicking myself for the last three days for not picking it up sooner. I had to force myself to put this book down a few times in order to savour every piece of it. I could have easily blown through this novel in a day but I just knew the shattered mess II would definitely reread in a heartbeat.Oh, and let me just say Tristan fulfills my sarcastic, hot bad boy quota:You look ridiculous walking around the city carrying an empty wineglass. I don't care to be associated with a drunk. Particularly one who damages glassware.I loved the general plot line: trolls, girl kidnapped against her will and forced to marry hot bad boy prince, political intrigue, and magic. I think my favorite thing besides Tristan was the setting I loved that it was so
"They were toying with me, like a pair of cats with a mouse... But I was no mouse."I'm not sure how it happened. One minute I was reading this in bed and thinking "okay, just one more chapter and then I'll sleep", and the next minute there was sunlight coming in through my window! Oops.So me and this 436-page book just spent a long night together and I feel a little frazzled and emotional - is this what they call book withdrawal symptoms? No, you're right, it's probably called sleep deprivation,
What I loved in Stolen Songbird can be summed up by the sentence above. Indeed, what's better than a book which shows the ability to surprise you? "I think it is our nature to believe evil always has an ugly face, he said, ignoring my question. Beauty is supposed to be good and kind, and to discover it otherwise is like a betrayal of trust. A violation of the nature of things." ✘ What you expect : Regular Trolls✔ What you get : WIN! Absolutely not the ugly and stupid creatures Trolls are
Yes...my new book boyfriend is, in fact, a troll... They aren't ugly...more like beautiful things that have had the misfortune of being broken. I'm that person that reads the blurb for almost every unknown book I see along my feed. Therefore, I do have the talent of recognizing most books and what they are about. Let me tell you...it is very rare I ever come across a book with trolls. No...not trolls as the side characters, or the big scary monster our main characters have to defeat to
After trudging through a glut of mediocre Young Adult fantasies (probably including too many self-published ones), this one hit me, at the time I first read it, like a ton of bricks. I was all, YES! layered personalities! Complex motivations! Non-TSTL (Too Stupid to Live) heroine! 5 stars!!Looking at this novel again, with the benefit of some hindsight, I'm thinking that maybe I had just read too many self-published and freebie paranormal/fantasy romances on my Kindle and it skewed my views.
I cringed, though; for as much as I did not want to marry a troll, I was just as certain the troll didnt want to marry me. Now, THIS was an unputdownable book! Whoo! If I hadnt begun this the night before my first day of the autumn term, I wouldve, without a doubt, finished this in one sitting. Having said that, I did read this during every spare moment in between my classes. Thus, I was already a quarter of the way through Hidden Huntress (aka Book #2) before I even got home! :DIm astounded
