    The Perilous Sea (The Elemental Trilogy #2) by Sherry Thomas

    The Perilous Sea by Sherry ThomasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars I appreciated the change in narration style for the sequel of The Burning Sky. Although I did not mind the interchanging narration from both Iolanthe and Titus’ view point, this style can become repetitive after a while. Therefore, I was happy that the sequel was written from the third person point-of-view.Having already been introduced to the two main characters, it was interesting to further witness their character development throughout The Perilous Sea. Having said that, I cannot see Iolanthe’s and Titus’ attraction for each other. It is the one point so far that has me shaking me head in…

    Sing Sweet Nightingale (The Dream War Saga #1) by Erica Cameron

    Sing Sweet Nightingale by Erica CameronMy rating: 3 of 5 stars I was given this ARC by NetGalley in return for an honest review.I had a very difficult time formulating a review of this story, because there are plenty of elements that I truly enjoyed while reading it, but then there were also parts that had me roll my eyes in sheer annoyance and caused me to set the book aside time and time again.The story is narrated from two character’s point-of-view, which always provides much more insight into the story and helps the reader get more connected with the plot and characters; however, when one character is a demon-manipulated…

    The Academy Alignment (The Academy #1) by David Davis and Andra St. Ivanyi

    The Academy Alignment by David DavisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars The Academy Alignment (The Academy #1)I was given this ARC by NetGalley in return for an honest review.There are books that are so good I just want to read them in one sitting. And then there are books I just don’t want to end, so I take twice or even three time as long to read them. The Academy Alignment belongs to the latter category. The characters were all very engaging and extremely interesting. With focus primarily on one character, the author chose to write the story from the first-person point-of-view, switching characters to provide a greater sense of…

    The Burning Sky (The Elemental Trilogy #1) by Sherry Thomas

    The Burning Sky by Sherry ThomasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars After almost three weeks I have finally finished reading The Burning Sky. As it turns out a raging high fever can break even this avid reader’s capability to pick up a book and escape into a fantastically created world. I mention this ten-day break from reading to highlight the ease with which I was able to pick up the story again without so much as a backward glance to re-acquaint myself with the story. One thing that really bothered me and I should probably stop doing this from now on is reading the little quotes of praise on the…
