At times, this book was very hard to swallow. It has a Lord of the Flies feel, children having to fend for themselves because the adult world has abandoned them – with all the destructive tendencies and crowd mentality that brings out. The whole conc ...more

An extremely absorbing read; I was greatly invested in following Nora in her search for the perfect life. To be honest, the first few attempts ended up so depressing I would have abandoned the book if I hadn't already read it and known it got better. ...more

Actual rating: 3.5 stars, but rounded it down due to the too many nice characters dying. NOT a fan. That aside, it was an interesting premise with an intriguing magic system. And an only slightly irritating MC. I enjoyed the contest up to a point, but ...more

Actual rating: 3.5 stars, or even 3 for the first 2/3 of the book. This one really felt like a "middle" book to me, nothing much happening. Maybe because this was my second reading and I already knew the answer to the big mystery. Still, I expected to ...more

Десислава Сивилова and 12 other people liked Genoveva Dimova's review of The Raven Scholar (Eternal Path Trilogy, #1): "This is how epic fantasy should be done. I adored every page (all 700+ of them): it was so meticilously plotted, so carefully built, so funny, and the characters! I could spend seven thousand pages with them, not seven hundred. The plot in brief: Neem" Read more of this review »

It was a little slow to start, but the atmosphere was deliciously ominous. The moment we got the second POV, the plot suddenly both thickened and fastened – and oh what a wild ride it was. I very much enjoyed the 180-degree turns on all the character ...more

That was delicious. As a die-hard Jane Austen fan with a soft spot for the supernatural, I found this novel simply delightful. It mirrors Austen's quick wit, planting vampires, werewolves and ghosts dead center into Victorian London. If you enjoy navi ...more

Десислава’s Quotes

“Когато си на дъното на пъкъла,
когато си най-тъжен, най-злочест,
от парещите въглени на мъката
си направи сам стълба и излез.

Когато от безпътица премазан си
и си зазидан в четири стени,
от всички свои пътища прерязани
нов път си направи и пак тръгни.

Светът когато мръкне пред очите ти
и притъмнява в тези две очи,
сам слънце си създай и от лъчите му
с последния до него се качи.

Трънлив и сляп е на живота ребусът,
на кръст разпъва нашите души.
Загубил всичко, не загубвай себе си –
единствено така ще го решиш!”
― Дамян Дамянов
