Daughter of Smoke & Bone

Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've read a few books like this lately, but the intensity of this one made it worthy of the 5th star. Loved it.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns

The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked the protagonist, but I thought the plot was really uneven. Everyone says the second one is better, so I will give it a try.

Pivot Point

Pivot Point by Kasie West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The structure of this was similar to the movie Sliding Doors, which I really liked. I also liked that although this is a series (and I plan to read more), I was happy enough with the ending that it could stand alone.

Requiem

Requiem by Lauren Oliver
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Definitely the weakest of the series. I was entertained, but the ending was a major letdown.

Shadow and Bone

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked the bad guy better than the good guy. And I'm hooked.

Grave Mercy

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Had some similarities to Poison Study, which I loved. Compelling world. Look forward to more in this series.
