bryanhoardsbooks 's review for:
shine your icy crown
by Amanda Lovelace
"the only one stopping you
from holding the moon
in your own two hands
is you."
3.5 STARS (rounded off to 4)! I have always love Amanda's works and this is not an exception. In the second installment of the You Are Your Own Fairytale series, she explores the magic of sisterhood. Coupled with her usual theme about writing based off of her experiences, this collection is as impactful as her previous ones.
I think the only reason why I rated it 3.5 (lower than the previous ones) is because the poems in this collection didn't resonate with as much as her previous works. But don't get me wrong, this was beautifully written. The illustrations were also amazing. I just wasn't able to connect that much. It's the it's-not-the-book-it's-me situation again, but please give this poetry collection a chance.
Shine your Icy Crown releases on January 26th, worldwide. Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel publishing for giving me a chance to read this in advance!
