emotional inspiring sad fast-paced

4.0

Trista Mateer was again has written an amazing piece of poetry based Greek mythology. 
It's wonderful, powerful, and both dark and inspiring. I love that poetry was accomplanied with illustrations throughout the book. They are just as beautiful as Trista Mateer's writing.

The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski

Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.
Just not vibing with this book. 
The writing is leaning towards purple prose and I'm disappointed. I'm 5 chapters in and the world hasn't been explained, like what is a Kith? Half Kith? Middling? Is it a social class or what? 
Honestly, I'm so confused.

Atalanta by Jennifer Saint

Go to review page

slow-paced

2.5

I didn't really enjoy this book. Nowhere near as much as I enjoyed JS's other books. It was just too slow and not that much happened. I think it could've been shorter tbh.
I liked Atalanta herself, but I don't think that her her story needed to be over 300 pages. I think maybe I would've enjoyed this better if it had been a novella.
