I'll Give You The Sun | Review

I'm disappointed that this book was not as good as everyone keeps saying it is and I don't think I've heard a single bad thing about it, and eventually all this hype made me pick it up.

No, I don't think it's the hype that ruined it for me - I just generally don't think it was as amazing and mind-blowing as everyone keeps claiming. I still enjoyed this book (at some points) and I do feel it's an average story - hence my rating. My biggest problem, though, was that this story is told from two people's perspectives and I did not like one of those people. That means that I didn't really care for half of the book.

There is better books out there, though maybe if I'd had a physical copy rather than the audio book I may have enjoyed it a lot more.

Sabriel by Garth Nix | Review

I was looking forward to this book, only because I've read Garth Nix's Keys To The Kingdom Series (which I have to say is much better than this).

I unfortunately didn't like this book anywhere near as much as I'd hoped. I was let down that there wasn't much character development and none existent world building, making it difficult to read and eventually finish.

I feel like this book dragged a lot and ended up skim reading the majority of the book. I very nearly put this in my DNF shelf and had to force myself to read it.

I can only give this one star, because It let me down too much. I won't be reading the rest of the series. :(
