Had a few lines I really liked, but I read this so quickly it felt like a half-written book that left me wanting more substance and less pages with only two lines on them.

I do love Amanda Lovelace's poetry! Her words are always so inspiring and empowering. I'm always wanting to share every page, sometimes with everyone, sometimes with specific people that I think of as I read. I often feel that I'm reading my own thoughts, feelings, myself in her words. Her poetry is relatable and powerful, I don't think I'll ever tire of reading them. I also just love the art in her collections. I definitely recommend giving her works, including this latest one, a read.

This book was just fine. I had no problems with it I don't know I just felt more disconnected from it than I have any of Lovelace's other works. This also felt different from her other works and I don't know if that was just a me thing. Overall I just felt fine about the book, I liked some of the poems and some really stuck out to me but there was just something about it that wasn't for me.

I loved her first series so much, this one is a bit of a let down.

Lots of 'big sister says' poems in this one. Reads like good advice.
Focus on growth.

“The only one stopping you from holding the moon in your own two hands, is you”

Shine Your Ice Crown is a story about not letting society dictate the limits of your potential. It’s time to take back your power & realize that you don’t need a king in order to be a queen.

When I saw this book available on NetGalley I immediately started to read it. I am a huge fan of Amanda Lovelace´s work. Like most of Amanda Lovelance´s work I adored this poetry collection. The author is starting to become one of my favorites. The poetry isn’t groundbreaking or a masterpiece but it makes me feel things no other poetry has ever been able to do. It makes me reflect and appreciate everything that surround me, including myself.

Every time I read Lovelace´s work I feel good and this was no exception. This poetry collection makes me feel like I matter and even though this is Lovelance´s story I feel seen and represented. These are words you need to hear no matter at what point in your life you are. I can see why some people see this as a Twitter/ Tumblr post, and maybe it is, but even a Twitter / Tumblr post can be beautiful and inspiring.

What made this collection extra special for me was the different points of view on different topics, one from the younger sister and the older from the older sister. The poetry is empowering and promotes self-love above all. I truly recommend you read it.

I had to take one star not because this collection wasn’t great but because compared to other collections by the author and especially comparing it to the first collection in this series I believe this one felt a little short.

Overall it was an amazing poetry collection, the poems are raw and promote self-love which I think is crucial. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a short, powerful poetry book that is easy to read and will definitely make you love yourself a little bit more.

Finally, please read the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

terrible. de todo corazón creo que este libro debió haberse quedado en los borradores de tumblr donde seguramente fue ideado. y cuando digo los borradores de tumblr no me refiero a tumblr del 2014 con el aesthetic de halsey y de the 1975, no, estoy hablando de tumblr antes de que lo comprara yahoo. todos los poemas parecían frases motivacionales clichés sin mayor esencia o trasfondo. se nota que 0 esfuerzo fue puesto en este libro. nisiquiera seguía el tema de los cuentos de hadas, no entiendo cual era el propósito de escribirlo.
