Why Book Heroines Sometimes SUCK
I can’t be the only one who has ever come across a book whose interesting concept was overshadowed, mutilated, destroyed, and buried three meters below ground by the female lead. In the YA genre, most of the time there is a female heroine, so I’m going to rant talk about that now.
We generally write them off as Mary Sues. But, since this will be a little more detailed than that, I’m gonna delve deeper into what comprises a Mary Sueish character, and why it is so dang annoying.
So, why do book h...

Review: Rebel Wing, by Tracy Banghart
The Dominion of Atalanta is at war.

Then her boyfriend, Calix, is drafted into the Military, and the nightmare becomes a dangerous reality.
Left behind, Aris has nothing to fill her days. Even flying her wingjet—the thing she loves most, aside from Calix—feels meaningless without him by her side. So when she’s recruited to be a...

Review: Darkness Becomes Her, by Kelly Keaton
Ari can’t help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can’t be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.
Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it’s impossible to protect herself when she doesn’t know what she’s running from or...

Of Beast and Beauty, by Stacey Jay
One of my favorites! It’s mind-blowing how this story takes everything you know about the Beauty and the Beast and twists it so it stays true to the tale, but at the same time it’s fresh. The whole review, here.
