Reviewing the 6 books I read in August 📚 Reading Wrap Up

I read Blood Over Bright Haven and loved it. I gave it five stars.

But I still found it enjoyable and I liked the characters and I thought the writing was really nice and I thought the setting was quite vivid and I had a good time while reading it.

I enjoyed reading it. I had a lot of criticisms. I had a lot of nitpicks which you can see in much detail in my read it on Holllet video, but I had a good enough time with it.

The setting was great. The sort of cozy horror fantasy aspect, the found family was fun. World building was basically non-existent and the writing style and the protagonist did not work for me at all.

I thought the writing was gorgeous. It has a amazing sense of place. It was emotional and intense and really well paced even though it's quite a long book.

The characters are so vivid. You really fall in love with them. You get so attached to them.

The Shadow of the Wind, the first book in the series, is fantastic as well.

It had some really interesting ideas. It had some incredibly vivid characters. It had some lovely pockets of writing, but I just felt that the execution was pretty uneven and there were certain characters, certain plot lines, certain aspects of the story that I didn't feel were dealt with in as complex, nuanced, , fully realized a way as I would hope for.
