It was not what I was expecting, but it was the perfect book for this time of the year with its gloomy, mysterious and slightly scary atmosphere. The book can be read very quickly and still Il leaves you thinking about some important matters. Solid 4 stars for me

Illustrations 5/5
Story 3/5

The book is a wonderful visual work of art, however, I was expecting so much more from the story.

3.25 stars. It took me almost a year to finish this book and I kept falling in and out of love with it. At this point I keep reading this story just for the love of Anne Rice's writing style and not for the story itself that leaves me more than unsatisfied.

The more the story continues the more difficult it gets to understand what direction the author envisions for the characters and the general plot.

I liked this one more than the 1st volume, however I struggle to consider this poetry. For me it's a collection of sentences with too many spaces between words.
It deals with a very important and dramatic topic and I really enjoyed some pieces. I will probably try and film a video about it.

This book should actually be compulsory at school. It's simple and powerful, relevant and memorable. It's fiction but at the same time it is as true and real life-like as it can be.

The author is a magician. She is able to make you feel relaxed, engaged and happy at the same time. Her stories are like cozy cute blankets that wrap you in a chill autumn day.
The story is one of four untold tales about Fairy Oak and it really feels like coming back home.

3.5 stars
Simple and lovely as the rest of the series, however the ending was a bit rushed and anticlimactic. Still a very nice Manga to read during a slump

3.25 stars
A book with only unlikable characters is always something good to read once in a while. I hoped to see a little bit more of India, but the story was focused on the journey more than on the visited country.
Ironic, critical about society and deeply true in some bits. Quite a quick read, perfect for a travel.

3.5 stars. It took me an eternity to finish this book, but it was worth it. It's raw, unpleasant, sarcastic, unapologetic, rude and absolutely not politically correct. At some points, I didn't want to pick up the book for weeks, however at the end for me, it was worth it.
I understood a bit more about Iceland and how it changed in the last century, I followed the perilous life of an imaginary old woman and got lost in some deep thoughts every now and then. This book is not and will never be everybody's cup of tea, but it is worth trying.

Such a lovely yet at the same time raw and melancholic read. This illustrated edition is wonderful for all Manga lovers.

4.75, but I decided to give it a 5 stars rating because it's such a unique and important read. Loved it! Just hoped for a different kind of closure, but that's a minor thing. Recommend to all kind of (adult or ya) readers.

It is evident that modern poetry is not my thing. I can not consider it poetic or deep even if it touches some very important topics. It just looks like something we all used to write in our statuses on MSN, but of course it is only a strictly personal point of view and preference

4th read for Booktube-a-thon 2018!
My very first time completing a whole shakespearian play and I liked it very much. I wish there was more about each and every character's background, but of course being it a play it was impossible. I really disliked the way Oberon treated Titania, but except for that it was a lovely read!

3.5 stars
First book for Booktube-a-thon 2018 done! Nice read, lovely and simple, without many plot twists

Second read for Booktubathon 2018 done! The main characters are just so cute and lovely in this one ^_^

Third read for BooktubeAthon 2018. Such a lovely graphic novel, with a nice message and a beautiful design

4.5 stars

Such a lovely and quick read. There was a bit too much religion for my personal taste, but overall the story has an important message and enjoyable characters. So glad that I picked up this book!
By the way the manga illustrations were perfect and made the story even more enjoyable ^_^

4.5 stars
Such an easy and entertaining read! It's a lovely middle grade about family bonds and discovery of what really matters, while crazy comic magic happens throughout the whole story :D I would have loved it as a child!

3.25 stars
It wasn't exactly the ending I was hoping for...There were too many elements in certain parts and others were rushed too much.
It's a fantasy YA in its purest “first decade of 2000” style with all of the consequent pros and cons

An easy and quick read, an interesting start of the story and at the same time it leaves you the possibility to stop reading at the end of the 1st book quite as if it is a standalone.

I have to admit it.. The ending left me a bit confused. I hoped for something more, but still it was an entertaining series to read!

Finally after years I read a full book in French (translated of course) and I liked it ^^ cute, with minimum to no angst and with some positive messages. Can't say that it's my new favorite, but definitely recommend as a summer read

That ending O_O I need to read the last one!

3.75 stars
Until almost the very end of the book it felt as a book created only for the purpose of being a prequel with no depth of the main characters. However it was still interesting and now I will read “Practical Magic” as soon as possible.

3.75...let's see how the last one will solve all the loose ends
