Book review: Shadowspell by Jenna Black




Yeah.

Um.

It's odd.

Not much I can 'review', to be honest.

I actually really enjoyed the first book-- it was a good insight to the story and an introduction to the characters. But this one . . . I'll be honest, here-- I skimmed throughout most of the story and not found myself missing out on much. Dana annoys me: She's snarky, sure, but I found that I couldn't exactly relate to her at all. 

The plot was odd, I thought. I'm not sure how else to describe it. 

Also, the writing was very, very basic. Simple. Nothing special. That was something that I noticed during the first one, but for some reason, I thought that the authors writing would . . . I don't know, pick up? 

Will I read the next book? I think that I will, but I know now not to expect anything special. You never know, it might surprise me.

Book review: Glimmerglass by Jenna Black





I gave this book 2.5 stars out of 5.


Why?


I didn't love it, I didn't hate it.


It was alright-- but hey, don't get me wrong-- it was enjoyable, but it didn't have that 'wow' factor that I was looking for.


The thing that really bothered me so much about this novel was the main character. I'm not sure what it is with main characters, but, sure, Dana had snark--  but that was about it that I actually liked about her. 


I didn't really much like Ethan, either. He was alright at the beginning, but throughout the novel, he began to bug me.


I haven't really got anything to say about this book although it was enjoyable to read that that I will read the next one.
