Extended Hiatus--Sort of

Apologies again for the lack of new reviews. I'm making an effort to get one up sometime this week. This is what happens when you pick a book that's not only long but has pacing issues and takes way too much time to get us invested in its protagonists (dammit, Terry Brooks, I really wanted to like you!). There are a few shorter books on my list that I'll try to get through this week. If nothing else, those reviews will start popping up over the next few weeks.

A COURT OF MIST AND FURY, Sarah J. Maas

You think Maas is going to go through the whole color spectrum? First ACOTAR in red, then ACOMAF in blue—maybe green next time? Or yellow? Or purple? Ooh, if she’s going with the thesis-antithesis-synthesis model, then I’m predicting purple. Hegelian dialectic, bitches!

What the heck am I talking about? Just how A Court of Mist and Fury basically flips so many things from A Court of Thorns and Roses 180 degrees! Some fans of the first book will like it; others will hate it with all the passion that only shippers can feel. My disclaimer for this review may put off Tamlin/Feyre lovers (do they have an official name? Tumblr, enlighten me!), but I must be honest: I liked Feyre and Tamlin in as much that he made her happy, or at least could be romantic with her to a nauseating degree. He brought light and love into her life—so it’s a shame their relationship takes a bleak turn that only worsens over the course of the book, for various reasons.

NOTICE: Tiny Hiatus

Due to sickness and other distractions, I've gotten a little behind on my reading. On top of that, New York Comic Con is coming this weekend. I'll be attending Friday through Sunday. While sitting in lines will provide ample opportunity for catch-up reading, my energy reserves for writing will be depleted. I'll post a review today, then the next two weeks from now.

If you're interested in revisiting older reviews and seeing some extra content (reblogged from other people), you can check out my Tumblr platform: keepscrollingreviews.tumblr.com. I'm still experimenting a bit with the format, so any feedback would be appreciated. Happy reading!
