Wonderland Academy: Year One by Melanie Karsak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hide Alice Hide. After the death of her boyfriend, Lacey Crane gets a restart on love and life after she enters Wonderland academy. There's only one rule for her: Let no one know her real name is Alice. I blew right through this one!! You get alive and all the wonderful elements of wonderland, but more cohesive and with darker undertones. Tea is used for battle and spells Jaberwakeys are friends Cheshire cats are plotting Rebellion is brewing And being a little mad is, if course normal. The narrator for this audiobook was ASTOUNDING. Really really good. Lots of different voices and emotions from her. I especially her Cheshire cat voice and Una's voice. Those two, particularly, really took the cake! View all my reviews
Throne of Winter: The Dark Court by Sophie Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars Recieved the audiobook from the author in exchange for review The whole book just had me pulled in beginning to end!! I admit I was confused at the beginning, but I see, by the end why Davis started the story the way she did, and I think any reader will too. Davis weaves a tail of royalty-romance, class-feuds, and espionage. Oh and there's fae. take those factors along with the good writing, and mean I don't really know what else any YA lover could possibly want in a story. Is it cliche? Yes. Do we know where the ending is going with Bree's decision to tell a certain someone about her certain activities? Also, yes. But that doesn't stop me from wanting book 2 RIGHT. NOW. I'm telling you, this series is addicting, and the narrator has such a pleasant. voice! While her range could have been wider for differentiating different characters, she still managed to give each line, each thought the appropriate emotion. Her voice is a pleasant and low rasp that doesn't grate on the ears. you can easily listen for multiple hours! Those traits go a long way in my book! (yes, pun). View all my reviews |
