Just One Reader's Opinion!
Overall, while I didn’t fall in love with this book, I liked the setting and the story, and would recommend it to fans of historical fiction with some YA, fantasy elements mixed in.
At times I found the book a bit slow – the book probably could have been a bit shorter – but overall, I enjoyed this book.
I appreciate that the author was doing something different, but it all left me wanting more.
I recommend this book if the plot appeals to you, but I think it’s also a good idea to be aware of the book’s criticisms. I am still planning on reading the sequel when it comes out, but I will likely read it with a more critical eye than I did this book.
I recommend this book, because Morgenstern’s writing really did create a vivid world for me that I liked reading about, even if I couldn’t quite connect with the characters inhabiting that world.
This is a great YA novel combining elements of historical fiction with a good mix of fantasy and romance thrown in. If that appeals to you, I highly recommend this book!
If you like urban fantasy and/or YA romance, this may be a book (and series) for you.
I liked this book. There were a lot of twists and turns and Big Secrets revealed in this book, and while some of it was predictable, it was still fun to read.
Despite my misgivings, I would recommend this book, if you are interested in urban fantasy and not put off by the writing style.
I recommend this if you like fantasy novels – it took some time for me to really get into it, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the twist on the familiar story, and thought it was well-written.
