Its heartbreaking that when someone doesn't look like everyone else they are basically tortured by @$$hole people....August is an incredible character/kid and I was furious with some of the bullies in this book. What a great book but the author did a great job with painting these bullies and how to preserve through situations like august and his friends had to go through. Loved the audiobook.

i loved the art work but the story just wasnt for me. Solidly not continuing this series. It was a quick graphic novel to read. I have found that i need to read more greek mythology first before diving into these different adaptations of it. Just my own thing

So many twists and turns but I have to be honest the 4+ point of views was a bit much. Felt rushed towards the end and predictable. I did enjoy rosalies character but quinn and claudia and nick and robert yeah 1 star to them. Not sure how this book is so overhyped. Im rating it 1.5 stars at least I finished it but have seen better thriller books.

Very dark and intense. they claim its a adult and darker version of harry potter which I can semi agree but some of the things that happen in this book are whoa...kind of depressing, kind of that is beyond disturbing. It was a really good book but some of the content is dark. Have to do at least 4 stars for this one. Some parts were really boring and I almost DNF'd but glad I pushed through it.

This one just wasnt for me. I was bummed cause i love a good book about creating video games etc and the book slay by morris was absolutely fantastic along with ready player one and ready player two. But this one just hit too many real world issues and i really needed an escape from those issues for a hot minute. I am glad there is something to talk about these topics but it was just not great timing for me on this one i suppose

Cute an awww and reminds me a lot of side story quests in dungeons and dragons but in essence its a orc running a coffee shop. loved the characters and it was okay but realized I was starting to lose interest a bit quicker.

So i've read romeo and juliet in high school and have to say this was a pretty good retelling with influences of chinese mythology. definitely was having a hard time sticking with it in some parts since some parts dragged for me but overall was a pretty good retelling and would recommend it out to others.

I realize I'm far too old for this one. I just hated many of the characters for how racist they were and the drama was a typical dance life situation. I can appreciate the authors for the diverse backgrounds of each characters and I felt for Gigi throughout but just not my thing anymore. got through it but will be getting this off my shelf since its done.

Very interesting but the characters were really flat and not interesting. Felt like a john grisham book only with forensic investigations and climate change. I was intrigued with the usage of bioterrorism with climate change secrets but its a one and done read for me.

At first I am going to be honest but was hesitant of even finishing this when the mention of Covid 19 pandemic and locked down was mentioned in the beginning. I have bad PTSD from that whole period . But this was interesting how it unraveled and that twist made it glad that I finished it. The jumping back and forth was very confusing but the audiobook did help keep track. I wish i didn't redeem this from my Book of the month subscription since I don't plan to reread this again. but overall it was suspenseful, twisty and one and done.

Cute bookish vibes all around. Love Viv and just like legends and lattes just a orc going about her day in a bookshop and feeling like a side quest of dungeons and dragons without the battles. was definitely different.
