Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake

emrodav's review

5.0

Girl of Nightmares is a really good sequel. I'm always nervous when books aren't really in a series, but a sequel is written after what I thought was a good ending. This book definitely didn't feel like an add-on. Cas's desire to help Anna and the tensions that arise because of that feel like a natural progression from Anna Dressed in Blood. (There isn't as much action as the first book, because there's a lot of build-up to do before Cas can figure out what to do and how. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but it definitely is different from book one.)

I will admit that I felt pretty afraid about the ending, because I couldn't really think of a good way for it to end. But Kendare Blake surprised me and crafted the perfect ending. The end is satisfying and fitting.

I can't recommend Anna Dressed in Blood enough, and I absolutely enjoyed the sequel, Girl of Nightmares

This part was easier to read then the first book, which was a disaster because it was translated.
Ca behaves like he's older then Thomas by centuries. And he doesn't listen to much, and that was one of my problems with him. If you search for a phrase 'with half of my ear' it would be numerous.

These are the sentences that made me chuckle:
Damn him and his points.
Oh. So that’s how it is.

All said by Cas.

It took 25 chapters for Cas and the crew to start looking for Anna. And it ended miserably, but well. It's healthy to grow some new love interests.

Also, there is a Suicide Forest and it is in Japan, not in Scotlandish area.

So Girl of Nightmares wasn't as good as the first book. I found that I wasn't a big fan of Cas in this book because I seriously cannot justify the amount of stupidity he has, especially since most of the plotline revolves around his stubborn decision-making. However, I'm going to bump this book up to 4 stars because the end scenes were awesome and also, BAD-ASS ANNA IS THE BEST.

The ending to this book was amazing everything that needed to happen did, i'm glad it wasn't too happy and still had the melancholic tone to the end. Kendare Blake is one of my new faves, this duology was utterly amazing i have no other words, just simply fantastic

Girl of Nightmares is absolutely fantastic. This book has left me broken hearted with the ending even though it is somewhat near to what I expected. Even though this a Duology, I still hope there'd be more of Cas's adventures.

Umm yeah..... this installment of Anna disappointing me. I don't know what I was exception but.....this was not it.

Carmel, who is my favorite character out of them all, turns her back on the boys.......

Then in the end Cas, who puts every one in danger just lets her go......

WHAT.THE.HELL!?
