Amera’s Reviews > Because You Love to Hate Me: 13 Tales of Villainy > Status Update

Sera by : Nicola Yoon 5 freaking stars .. this one was EPIC.. the writing style and the very dark atmosphere and characters ... at first i thought it’s about doomsday or the anticrhrist but then when it came to Steph and Kat commentary i found that it’s a gender flipped God of War..
*their commentary: i don’t know what to feel . I actually expected it will be about villainy among gods, but it turned out to that.

Indigo and Shade by: April Genevieve Tucholke: 4.5 stars .. this is the second short story I read by this author and I can tell that she can easily become a favorite of mine .. this one is a beauty and the beast retelling .. I loved it and love how dark and not happy it ended..
Whitney’s commentary: a quick dive in villain’s mentality ( expectations vs reality ). It was so good I loved it.

Julian Breaks Every Rule by Andrew Smith
3 stars ..
I really enjoyed the narrative of this one . Jillian was a really fun character .. he’s a typical teenager, a little psychotic yes .. but I feel what we used to see or read in psychotic characters is flattened out here with Julian. Maybe he’s just starting his murderous career , I don’t know. But I enjoyed him nonetheless..
Raeleen commentary: meh.

You,You,It’s all about you by Adam Silvera:
3 stars .. it was really nice but i didn’t like how it was narrated ... it has comical super villain vibes all over it..
Catriona’s comment : okey ..

Marigold.. 5 stars .. loved it so much ..
Regan’s commentary was the best commentary i read so far .. i enjoyed reading every line .

_Death Knell (Victoria Schwab): 5stars. This one was freaking good . I loves stories that introduce death as a character ..
*Jesse’s part: not bad , lil personal , i didn’t hate it bu didn’t LOVE it either

-Beautiful Venom by: Cindy Pon: I really don’t know.I feel she didn’t add anything to the original myth,or changed anything as I remember of it.Just the asian feel to it..but it was very nicely written..I think 3 stars.I may change it later though.
*Benjamin‘s part: straight forward and nice opining discussion about how societies treat victims of rape or any other violent acts really,specially women..liked it a lot.

- Sea Witch by:Marissa Meyer => 3.5 it was really nice i liked it a lot.
*Zoe Herdt part: meh 🤷🏻‍♀️ the first part of it was nice to read but that last lil quiz i didn’t like 🤷🏻‍♀️.

The Blessing of Little Wants by Sarah Enni : 3 stars .. it was nice but the ending left me confused .. and the characters were not very vibrant to me ..
Sophia Lee ‘s part : i liked it .. nice commentary on the main character ..

-Shirley and Jim : 5 stars .. loved it
-Sasha’s part : i have no idea why it’s even included
