Quicksilver by Callie Hart
2.0
This was so incredibly cringe and wattpad core but it gets points for pure comedy and entertainment value. Listening this at work became a try not to laugh challenge, the dialogue was crazy 💀Unoriginal and bad world building but the writing wasn’t bad and it was so cringe that it was funny. Defo wouldn’t have made it through this if it weren’t an audio book but credits to the narrators they ate.

This is such an inspiring, emotional book whilst being a pretty easy read. Loved the way it empowered the female charecters and did not include hardly any male characters that weren’t evil bastards. i think the writing could’ve been a little more descriptive for me but it was still an amazing book and great message :)

this is twilight for so called intellectuals 😠i think the story line is really promising just didn’t expect it to be so romance based and the plot to get fully lost in that development. the author also seems to be throwing out facts and information to seem clever but just makes this a difficult read, the writing it decently good tho the romance part is just not for me, matthew’s so called protective mood swings make me laugh.

I’m so sorry but this book was so boring in every way 💀 The world buiding was so bad and the characters were so boring. More chemistry between me and my airfryer than those two. No idea why this is rated so high was dissapointed, the lack of a YA tag really got my hopes up 😞

Did not hold up for me, it got a bit samey but i appreciate the dedication to the series. 13 year old me would have probably loved it
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

Read purely bc i loves that crappy movie as a child and wanted to experience joy again. Written better than expected tbh but typical ya dystopian book from the 2000s. enjoyed although that may be for nostalgic reasons.

Eve of Man by Giovanna Fletcher, Tom Fletcher

Honestly I can’t judge this too harshly bc i decided to pick it as an 18 year old. All i can say is that it’s definitely a children’s book.
