a book i HATED, a book i LOVED, a book in the middle! | rapid fire book reviews

i've read another book by the same author that being not so pure and simple which was so solid and so underrated

the mystery element will absorb you and take you for a spin pun intended yes i am a big cheese ball i'd give spin a 4.5 out of 5 stars

hi yes i did go into this book with a very bad attitude and man am i swallowing my words now because it was so much fun i read this through the audiobook and it was so delightful

i loved everything about this book it is drenched in one of my favorite topics discussed in books death and i'll admit this book was stressful because our main character is in such a sticky situation in this book

i'm kind of in the middle with this book i pretty much spent the entirety of this book trying to figure out what was happening i could not wrap my mind around the plot

i didn't hate it i didn't love it was just okay for me i think the thing that i forgot going in with this book is that with every new fantasy book it takes its time sometimes to get to the actually interesting bits and that's where this one fell

there were a lot of things that i enjoyed about this book and a few things that i wanted a little bit more from it i will say that it was rather underwhelmed by the ending just because it was the climax it was the banger of the book and it kind of fell flat a little bit

i also loved the mending of the father-daughter connection within this book they have this estranged relationship zumi knows nothing about her father but it's wholesome as we watch them try to mend the gap and become closer i give this book all of the stars all of them 5 out of 5 stars i loved it

this was a no it's marketed as a young adult book but it reads like a middle grade book which would have been fine had this book been marketed as middle grade but it's not it's young adult the writing was very immature and overly repetitive to the point of me just wanting to chuck the book across the room

i personally really enjoyed what it brought to the table and i would give it like a 4 out of 5 stars
