Switched: Trylle Trilogy 1
Switched: Trylle Trilogy 1 | Amanda Hocking
29 posts | 131 read | 30 to read
When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. It isn't until eleven years later that Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. With the help of Finn Holmes, Wendy finds herself in a world she never knew existed - a world both beautiful and frightening - and Wendy's not sure she wants to be a part of it. This is the first in Amanda Hocking's stunning series, the Trylle Trilogy.

Happy Tuesday! Here are the #Two4Tuesday questions for today. As always, thanks to all that played last week!

My answers:
📚 Yes! I have read some great books by indie authors.
📚 Amanda Hocking, who self published her trilogy but later St. Martin's picked her up once she achieved amazing sales numbers.

I mean... it was fun. Mostly because I didn't take it too seriously. But eh. Another YA book where the heroine is 90% passive (until the very end--I did like the ending), has to be saved by men (most of whom are madly in love with her) all the time, and doesn't understand what's going on around her because the people who know won't bother to explain it to her.

I am still finding this book mildly enjoyable, but the writing… 🤣🤣🤣 (Finn is not, in fact, a robot.)

Started this today for #bookspin. The plot is pretty cliche and the writing is, um… But it‘s kind of fun so I‘ll give it a few more chapters at least.

My favorite color is red! What‘s yours?

dariazeoli I always say black, but I think blue is rising up. Most of my device cases are light blue! 6y
That-Bookish-Hiker Forest Green is my favorite color. I loved the Trylle Trilogy but the ending! Gah it still makes me mad every time I think about it. 6y
abookishbutterfly @That-Bookish-Hiker I haven‘t read any of them yet. I have this and the second one. I found them at thrift stores. But my TBR pile is ridiculous! Forest green was my favorite during my teen years! 6y

Clare-Dragonfly Pink! But it was red when I was a kid and I love wearing red. 6y
abookishbutterfly @Clare-Dragonfly That‘s funny because pink was my favorite as a kid! 6y
SaturnDoo Purple has been my favorite color since I was old enough to pick a color. Yellow and red are also faves 😁 6y

I have a real day off today, and actually have enough time to sit and read for a while! I haven‘t read this trilogy in a while, but I remember loving it when I read it in high school 📚

This one is right on the line between so-so and a pick for me. It was pretty good. The romance between Wendy and Finn was fun. I really like Rhys the “brother”.
But the writing did seem a bit amateurish. And I‘m not sure if the storyline is compelling enough or characters are endearing enough for me to want to read the next in the series.

Just starting this now. Not sure if I‘ll like it or not. Guess I‘ll have to continue on reading.

Melissa_J I went into reading this series with very low expectations and ended up enjoying it. 6y
KristinaRay I have it on hold right now. I look forward to hearing what you think. 6y
Cailey_Mac I ended up liking more than I thought; I bought a bind up of all the books in one in 2015; it does pull you in 6y

Fast, fun, light weight read for those of you who like fantasy. Wait....I enjoyed it even though I don‘t read sci fi/fantasy.

Started a new book this morning and already can‘t put it down, even though it is definitely not my genre. This one‘s for you @TiaQueso and @FeatherV

TiaQueso Did you finish it? Good all the way through? 7y
Mshookquilts Yes. I was going to put that up today. Back pain & work kept me from it yesterday. I plan to read the other 2 in the trilogy. In fact, that may be one Heather read earlier in the month. Finished in a couple days despite heavy schedule. 7y

Mehso-so

I was mostly disappointed with this book. I felt extremely disconnected from the characters, so I didn‘t really care what happened to them. I didn‘t feel the romance aspect of the book because I just didn‘t see the spark between them. I did enjoy the ending, because that is where things started to pick up a little...

Everything you ever thought it knew about trolls is shaken up and tossed aside in this wonderful story. A little cliched and predictable at times this is still a good start to the trilogy.

nicki THIS COVER IS SOOO NICE! 8y

I know nothing about these books besides the fact that they're about trolls and the author was recognized from writing on her online blog. BUT who can pass up a series that is literally only a $1 a book?? Thank you peddlers mall. 👌🏼 I'll just add these to my collection.

IndiaTungate I can't wait to read your thoughts on the series. If they're good I'll be adding to my reading list 👍🏻😀. 9y
