Reviews

Here you can find links to my book reviews and books I've reviewed!
A short introduction (as always), so you know what you're looking at: My reviews work on a heart system, but not the way other sites do it. I've chosen the five attributes most important to me and I'll give either one heart for measuring up to my personal, subjective opinion on the attribute, or none if it didn't. I also won't publish a review for a book I didn't like at all, so if you see a review, I've read the book in its whole and liked it enough to share it, even if it got zero hearts. I don't think that will happen, but I still wanted to make that clear!
These are the categories I'm looking at:

💗 Style and wording
Meaning it was easy to read and follow, well edited, well paced and I liked the writing style.

💗 Protagonists and main characters
The main characters of this book are relatable, well-drawn, not annoying or cliché in a bad way.

💗 Antagonists and problems
The hardships the protagonists have to overcome are well-chosen and fit the plot, no senseless attention-seeking crazyness, no plot-jumps that leave stuff open.

💗 Inventive plot
This story surprised me, either by choosing a plot and players I haven't seen anywhere else before, or by putting a new twist on an old theme that warmed me to it all over.

💗 Standalone
This story doesn't require you to have read any other books to understand and enjoy it.

🖤 Placeholder
This is the black heart of doom. I add this whenever a heart hasn't been fulfilled, so you'll know what is what.

A full rating may look like this: 💗💗💗🖤🖤 (hearts for Style, Protagonists, Antagonists, but not for Plot or Standalone)

Or like this: 🖤💗🖤🖤🖤 (heart for Protagonists, but none for Style, Antagonists, Plot or Standalone)


Well, you get the point. Let's get to the...
