pickHuh. I actually liked it better this time! Still not a full 4 stars (because when I rate a book I always compare it to other books I have rated similarly ?) but enough over 3 stars that it's a "pick" and not a "so-so". Interesting circumstances, both with a rare real-life disease which is quite peculiar on its own, and then gets more so with strange occurrences. There is some romance but it's steeped in strangeness and tension so it's not sappy.
This was my review for this book when I first read it last year... but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and when I saw the sequel, I decided to give this another go 😅
so-soAnother free iBooks read. Interesting premise but not my style.
Book 1 of a quadrilogy. Bryn Reyes has Klein-Levin Syndrome, having episodes of prolonged sleep in which she is neither comatose nor catatonic. Her state is more like lucid dreaming based on her memories but in an alternate reality. Sweet story. KLS is a real thing, but the rest is fiction. On to book 2!
so-soOh, pffft ??
The story that had sounded so intriguing was just coasting along, feeling a bit dispersed and unfocused, and then just when it started feeling like it kind of found a direction, just when I was building up to something... it ended. And it had me saying "oh, come ON!" out loud ?I know the cliff hanger is a traditional manipulation tool, but it was not right here IMO. Interesting premise, so-so execution.
pan2.5⭐ If you read the plot description and find it interesting, don't mind lack of depth and engaging writing, and want an easy read, then this book would be a solid pick, otherwise, pass on it. I received this book free through the Kindle First program, but it did not affect my review. See my full review on Goodreads or Amazon.
The story sounds interesting in theory, but so far it's just kind of chugging along and it has failed to make me feel much other than sad. A bit boring; and confusing but not in that suspenseful way that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Just a bit all over the place. I hope it gets better.
Was feeling kind of blah and uninspired and couldn't decide what to read. After picking up a book and then putting it back, then repeating the same several times, I decided to browse through my vast Kindle TBR shelf, and settled on this. So far, so good.
What do you reach for when nothing sounds good?
