Fairy Disappointing

Fairy Sight by Patricia Bossano is not an YA/Adult fairytale like it claims to be. 

I had to DNF at 25% in and most of it I skipped because holy hellmatoes was it hard deciphering what visuals the author wanted the readers to take away. The words were super flowery and long winded to the point I was getting a headache by the time the sentence ended.

There is also one point where the author must have copy and pasted because it was the exact same description for the fairyland as it was in the beginning. Also, it lies she is not seventeen but eighteen years old as well as eleven and fifteen. I kind of wish the book had started with her being whatever age she is supposed to be 17 or 18 and went from there.

I got so bored that I found myself taking multiple breaks to the point where I started to read other books just so I would not have to torture myself with this book. I wanted to be dragged in because I love fairy tales or anything with fairies and human princesses/princes.

Maybe one day I will continue to read it, but during these times it is not quite the escape I was looking for in a book.

2 out of 5 stars.

If it was for middle grade or younger it would be 4 out of 5 because it reads that way.

The Redpoint Crux: Giselle or Phantom of the Opera?

The Redpoint Crux by Morgan Shamy is interesting. I thought that when it said "dying girls" that the girls would be the ones dying, not the men. My main issue with the book is that it should have stuck with Giselle or The Phantom of the Opera, not both. And I found the reason for why the girls were dying a little far fetched. And I have so many questions the more I sat on the book and thought about it. Believe it or not I read this book over a month ago, and I am struggling to come to terms with the book. I bought a kindle edition hoping the formatting would not be so weird on that one, and maybe the book will make sense.

I liked Red and Liam, for me they were the most believable characters and I could see a love interest between them, but I could not see it for the characters that do wind up getting together. It felt false to me, but that could just be me.

It was not a "oh wow where has this book been all my life" story for me, and for that reason I am giving it a 3.5 star rating.
