Throne of Glass Review!

Trono de cristal (Throne of Glass, #1)

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Time for the unpopular opinion: I did not like this book... don't get me wrong, I didn't hate it but wow, I do not think it deserves the hype that it has.

Well, Throne of Glass is the story of Celaena Sardothien, the greatest killer in Endovier, who goes to a competition to be the next royal assassin, in return she'll gain her freedom.

Celaena is a character who is described as very good in what she does but I feel that througout the book all our characters do is describe her as perfect, in my opinion this makes her less relatable and you don't engage as well with the story. Apart from this I think the other characters Sarah J. Maas developes are great! (pls protect Chaol i love him so much, thank u).

Now, the story for me was too slow, so much that I put a "hold" on this book for about a month and only now I'm finishing it. I think the story is dragged for so long that we could have had a 250 pages book with the exact same story. Everything was super repetitive and predictable.

 The writing is good, I don't think it's perfect (as I said she is very repetitive lol) and it's a bit childish in my opinion. Also as I was reading, I thought some things weren't right like the author had said something different or was incoherent with its prevoius ideas. 

 So to finish this review, I do think the book is over hyped and a part of me regrets reading it but I'll maybe check the other books because people say they get better and also Chaol <3.

Turtles All the Way Down Review

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green My rating: 4 of 5 stars   (or more of a 3.5 shhh) "But you give your thoughts too much power, Aza. Thoughts are only thoughts. They are not you. You do belong to yourself, even when your thoughts don't" My hopes for this book weren't (at all) high and well, this really didn't amazed me that much but it was a good read; what really got to me was the anxiety rep. So here we have Aza, who's our main character and is going through life with OCD and anxiety and suddenly she finds herself with her bestfriend trying to solve a mystery of a person dissapearing and she reconnects with a guy from her past, and really sums up the book. Something I got to point out was the "mystery", I kind of enjoy John Green's books but I think he repeated himself here and went for the same thing as in "Paper Towns" and that did not set well with me, I'm just tired of that narrative; honestly the &q

A YEAR-A-THON TBR

A Year-a-thon it's a series of readathons that happen throughout the year each one with a theme. This month's theme is: "Classics" and it's happening from April 3 - 9. As there is so little time I'm making my TBR as short as possible so this time I'm planning to read, first, " Lolita " which it's gonna be my priority, and then if I have time I'm planning to read " A Clockwork Orange ".  Links: Goodreads group: #AYEARATHON Twitter: @AYearAThon

March(ito) wrap up!*

Hi guys, this are the books I read in March and well, they are four, yeah... not a good month, maybe is was a break from reading so much before??? idk. BUT I have to say that there were some goooood books  The first book I read was a re-read but a pretty old one, I read this book when I first got into reading and well, I loved it because it was different, but now I'm older and wiser (not) so yeah, btw the book is " The Perks of Being a Wallflower " lol, such a mystery there.  But yeah, when I first read this book I didn't understand it well, I even remember being confused about Charlie and his aunt. Now, I'm at college studying psychology so yeah, a big change in my point of view, actually it was a pretty interesting read so I would recommend it to people who want a mental health book. Upon re-read, I gave it 3 stars but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoyed it (which is a theme throu this wrap-up lol) Next up, I read " Little F
