Fantastically Fierce Fiction

I was not thrilled when I first started this book because although it clearly states it’s not the same as the fairytale we all know, I was still shocked by the many character differences. However, the more I read, the more I just didn’t want to stop reading. I like the different, more realistic family dynamic she’s given Cinderella. It’s not a tale of a wicked step mother and sisters who come to sabotage her life. Her truth is actually quite different, you’ll see, if you so choose. If you sometimes find Disney to be too unrealistic in its princess’s love stories, you’ll love the better character development in this book. Sarah Pinborough paints Cinderella as more than just a nice girl who dreams of going to a ball. This new Cinderella has passion, wants love, likes the thrill of adventure, and is truly a little bit of a spoiled brat at times. Furthermore, I love how she’s woven in a few different fairytales and can’t wait to see what the next book is about and who is involved. Don’t hesitate to read this new take on Cinderella’s tale where a young girl who wants passion and love figures out…

I don’t know if I can truly do this book justice. This series has become a favorite of mine along with this author. I don’t say that lightly, but I find myself coming back to these books over and again. I’ve just finished this particular series of hers for the 3rd time at a minimum. Each time I reread it, I fall in love with the characters all over again and find myself devouring the books every chance I get. I love the story line. I love the character makeup and development. This is a MUST read for those who love books about strong female characters with a little romance thrown in and books about the fae. Throughout the book, we follow Feyre, a young girl who is dependent on no one but herself and finds a way to figure everything out through trial and error and perseverance. She is someone to respect and watch out for, and we see that very early on when she’s hunting alone in the woods at a very young age. Especially when those woods are in such close proximity to Prythian, the faerie lands, and known to have wolves that roam throughout. Yet brave…

This romance novel was a little different for me as it was written by a man. In fact, unintentionally, most of the books I’ve read have been by female authors probably due to my favorite genre including a strong female lead. However, I am hoping to continue to broaden my point of views and genres. This story, primarily about Jordan and Kimberly, has a lot of depth and a lot of real world problems such as childhood bullying that has left scars into adulthood, insecurities, profiling, and unfair judgement to name a few. The author tells the story from both Jordan’s and Kimberly’s points of view giving you an insight into what they are each thinking and feeling. Kimberly’s point of view lets you see how strong, independent, and in control of her life she is. She dresses and acts how she wants and won’t let anyone criticize her for being who she is. It makes you wonder what she’s been through to make her so strong. Jordan’s point of view tells us how he feels about who’s around him and what’s going on in his surroundings. Jordan seems to be always looking at people wondering or worrying about what…

I was intending to post much sooner, but that has been delayed due to the stress of working 2 jobs. This past weekend I finally got some R&R by going to the mountains which is the picture you see for this post. During my R&R I read a new book I have a post for. In fact, I have MANY posts ready to be typed out and uploaded, but I don’t want to overwhelm you guys. I will type them out and have them ready to go and try to publish them once a week to give you new content without giving you all my new content then making you wait again until I’m finished reading another book. There will be different genres coming soon to the blog as I’m participating in a summer reading program through my local library causing me to branch out a little bit and read things I wouldn’t normally pick up such as non-fiction or mystery. If you have a particular genre that interests you, keep a lookout because it may be one of the ones coming soon. I will also be making a list of all the books I have but have not yet…
