Greetings!
This week at work passed by quickly. I’m really pleased that my weekend felt full.
Here’s my reading highlight:
Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard
4 stars
The premise felt a little like Red Rising – those in power are called silvers and have silver blood, while those oppressed are called reds and have red blood. The silvers have magic power, and while I did enjoy the magic element, I’m not thrilled about the magical system. There doesn’t seem to be much logic. However, I’ll be reading the rest of the series. I’m keen on discovering what happens, and this series (already completed) seems more optimistic/hopeful than Red Rising.
One Day in December by Josie Silver
3 stars
The author seems to strongly believe people have more than one soulmate.
I liked how I never knew where the plot would turn, but I was irritated by the lack of courage from the two main characters. It felt like they took many turns to get where they were always heading.
