| It's a retelling of a fairytale that I always found rather boring - the Twelve Dancing Princesses. But the author takes this tale and adds stuff, for one it's set in Eastern Europe, in the historical time of Vlad the Impaler, and the heroine wants to...more | |

I read the first chapter ages ago and it felt rather bland. I though, 'oh, here we go, vampires, same old, bitchy heroine', yeah. But it has pretty good ratings so I tried again, and surprisingly, it pulled me in.
Ok, I'm not a fan of vampires these...more |

2.5 the second book might be better but I'm not sure I'll read it.
I liked the prequel a lot but the more and more I read this book the more dissapointed I got. You just can't ignore how damn similar it is to Vampire Academy. Secondly, at times th...more |

| It's readable, mostly predictable, typical YA paranormal. Instead of being vampires, it's faery - pixies to be exact. But, wait, there's more, we get shifters too. Unfortunately the worldbuilding is pretty thin and feels very pastede on. With very li...more | |

| I only wanted to sample this book and maybe put it away for later but it drew me in. The pacing is good. All the characters are pretty distinct and interesting. While the plot isn't terribly deep and unpredictable, it's not bad either. Yes, of course...more | |

| It pulled me in right away only to lose me the more and more the main character acted like a brat. I know, I know - there was dark magic at work and confusing dreams and new powers, but it did not make reading through all that a pleasure. I am glad I...more | |

It's hard to believe the heroine is supposed to be almost eighteen. I could buy her being sixteen, but... eh, she's just too naive, immature and unobservant. I generally like Childs' writing style and here it was pretty good too, but the overall...more |

There's supposed to be time travel, I hope there is and soon, because otherwise this is pretty bad.
It's not an easy read- lots of terminology that is supposed to make the protagonist/narrator sound like a professional military guy, but for me is co...more |
