I really enjoyed the side characters of Ferrick, Casem, Vataea, and, for the most part, Bastian (who really is just the literary reincarnate of Hook from Once Upon A Time). Unfortunately I did find this fun magic was set aside for an overly drawn out battle that lasted for over 100 pages (a lot considering this is only 380 pages to begin with). The magic system is fun and I was quite dazzled at first – giving me strong vibes from The Belles and Four Dead Queens. I liked Amora, I thought she was the right combination of strong, spunky, and determined … her headstrong, inability to listen did become a bit grating as she continued to speak down to everyone, but I guess she is a queen so that is to be expected? Were there interesting side characters? For the most part.
Let’s Talk Maybe It’s Me, Maybe It’s You:ĭid it have a likeable, strong heroine? Yes. But somewhere in the middle I really stalled out and it took me well over a week to finish this 300-odd page book. Like I said, the beginning had me hooked with the unique, glittering magical system, the excellent display of inclusivity, intriguing premise, and just the promise of some fun, pirate-y adventures. I’ll start out by mentioning this because after sitting on this review for over a week I still cannot decide if it was outside influences preventing me from fully sinking my teeth into the story or if the story itself bored me a little and I never wanted to sit down and … sink my teeth into it. For whatever reason – the world right now, me, the book itself … the world right now, I really struggled to finish All The Stars And Teeth, after the beginning really captivated me.
