Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || Pinterest I've been feeling nostalgic for Labyrinth and David Bowie, and as if my subconscious mind registered that on some level, I've read three books about goblins over the past few months. One of them, the obvious - WINTER SONG - was a glaring disappointment. The other two (including this one) were okay. It's hard to compete against David Bowie in a mullet. (I bet you never thought you would see those words in print, huh?)THE BROKEN ONES is t
*This review can also be found on YA Books Central! Huge thanks to the author & publisher for the review copy in exchange of my honest opinion.**Tries to contain tears* In our life, I believe there are certain books/series that will resonate the strongest in each step we take, for each stage we reach. In my childhood, the Harry Potter books were the series that made me believe in magic, the books that turned me into a reader. When I became a teen, The Iron Fey series brought back that need to de...
If there is one thing that I took away from this book, is that I need to jump back into the world of The Malediction trilogy. I missed these characters and this plot in a way I didn’t even realize. I now want to drop everything and go read the rest of this series. That’s how good this was.Admittedly, I didn’t like this book as much as I did Stolen Songbird, the first book in the series, but I do love the world. I love the intrigue, and the schemes, and evil plots. I love the magic and the messed...
Advanced copy received via NetGalley in exchange for honest review.As you can see I gave this five stars so I think that kind of speaks for itself. It was everything I wanted it to be. It was a story in itself and not just an introduction to the Malediction trilogy. It had mystery and intrigue, action and romance. It was heartfelt and heartrending, especially that epilogue. Jensen’s writing is great, its beautiful but also easy to read and she writes her characters so flawlessly. That’s not to s...
I knew what I was getting in this book, it's a prequel, so we know how this was going to wrap up and still I went into it with open arms.Do not read this if you haven't read the original trilogy! Also if you have read the originals right away maybe give yourself some time to grieve before diving into this cause it will break you all over again.Marc and Penelope were all I dreamed they would be, and their love was so perfect, this catalyst for pushing the change that Marc was certain might never
Rating: 3.75/5Review to come!
“The Broken Ones” is a prequel to the Malediction Trilogy. I’ll admit that I have not read the trilogy, but since this was a prequel, I was hoping it wouldn’t matter. The world-building is lacking, however, in this prequel, and for that reason, I would say it is mainly intended for people who have already read the trilogy. This one seems to provide a backstory for a few key characters in the trilogy (further research led me to their roles in the trilogy as well as information about the world). H...
This wasn't as bad as the last book (that was a real let down!) but it was still pretty meh. I enjoyed learning some history about the characters and meeting Penelope, but the story was a little flat to me and everyone was pretty annoying. If Danielle Jensen releases more works I'll gladly read them, but I'm happy that Malediction is over.
I was so happy when Danielle announced that she was writing a prequel and it would be the story of Marc and Penelope! I knew the story was heartbreaking but it also gives us so much insight about the characters we meet in the Malediction Trilogy and really helps us understand them better too!Reading from both Marc and Penelope's POV was the perfect way to see their friendship and love emerge, even if they both thought it was one-sided in the beginning. I had wanted to know more about Penelope an...
I knew going into this that it was a Romeo and Juliet story. I didn't know it was the beginning of a series. I would read this one first. It was interesting to have this perspective of all the characters before reading the first book. I was hoping against hope for a happy ending....... Romeo and Juliet retellings are not endings I am fond of. This was a teen read. Sex before marriage. Some kisses but fade to black so you don't get details. This is a violent story but it is all done behind closed...
We are back in Trollus, but this time before the Songbird’s entrance. This is the story of Marc and Penelope and provides us with an explanation for Marc’s character in the The Malediction Trilogy.I always liked Marc and was looking forward to reading more about him through his point of view, which also gives a different perspective on Tristan. Sadly, I wasn’t a fan of Penelope. I understood where she came from and that her life was not the greatest, yet I sensed a character trait that I didn’t
