Jennifer Donnelly's first part, "The Tea Rose" was the one I really enjoyed. Both Part II and III are good, but nothing exceptional.The story is dragging in parts. I could not decide if I like the charactrs or not. I could not even identify myself with any of them.The whole subject of the German ...
2.5 Stars.Deep Blue was an interesting read, but it just didn't capture my attention and send me into gushing episodes whilst I was reading. The first hundred pages was very good, I enjoyed it, even though it took a long time just to get to one key plot point, but I liked what was developing. I t...
Overall, I'd give this one 3 1/2 stars. This was a 4, almost 5, star book at times but the ending made it fall flat. There's still one plot twist that was so groan-worthy I can't believe it was in there. Ugh. Loved The Tea Rose, liked The Winter Rose, and was glad I read this one. Still, I'm sort...
#3 in this series. A very entertaining book. Set in 1914 in London women are campaigning for the vote. War intercedes and main characters in this final book in the series go to many different countries, Willa's adventures take her far afield and she goes where usually women are not allowed. W...
This book is a beautifully designed hardback.I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I loved that the story was about mermaids because i havent really read any books about mermaid.I loved the main six mermaids and their different personalities. I love the merman Blu i just wish he was in i...
Δεν έχω λόγια για να εκφράσω πόσο πολύ μου άρεσε και με συγκίνησε αυτό το βιβλίο.Όταν το ξεκίνησα ήμουν κάπως καχύποπτη καθώς το πρώτο βιβλίο της Ντόνελι, οι Επαναστατημένες ζωές δεν με είχε ενθουσιάσει τόσο.Το «Βόρειο σέλας» όμως, παρόλο που από τους περισσότερους θεωρείται το λιγότερο καλό βιβλ...
Είναι εξαιρετικά σπάνιο στις μέρες μας να πέσει στα χέρια σου κάποιο βιβλίο, τόσο καλογραμμένο που να σου φέρνει στο νου βιβλία και συγγραφείς κάποιας άλλης εποχής. Kαι όμως, με χαρά και έκπληξη θα διαπιστώσει κανείς πως η κυρία Donnelly και τα βιβλία της, έχουν αυτή τη μαγική ικανότητα. Να σου μ...
Chi ama il romanzo storico ama Jennifer Donnelly.L’affermazione può sembrare forte, ma in questo caso è più che giustificata. Chi già conosce questa scrittrice sa benissimo di cosa si sta parlando, chi ancora non ha avuto il piacere di incontrarla colga la prima occasione per farlo.Dopo aver deli...
I pick up my pace, and five minutes later, I’m bounding up the stairs to the loft.“Andi? Is that you?” she shouts from the kitchen as I open the door. “I’m so glad you are here! Turn on the TV, will you? Channel four. G just called. He and Lewis are about to be on Agenda. Lewis is in the Paris st...
Eddie said through gritted teeth. Jo, peeking through a pair of red velvet curtains trimmed with gold fringe, didn’t even hear him. They were in a small parlor inside the residence of Esther Arinovsky, on East Twenty-Fifth Street in the Tenderloin. ...
“Stop, Zhen,” a lazy voice drawled. “Why? You searching the cart tonight?” the driver asked. “Not me. We got orders not to touch any fever bodies.” Ling, who’d been rigid with fear, relaxed. The guards were no longer searchin...
Both of you. No, actually, tube worms doesn’t do you justice. Lumpsuckers would be better,” Neela hissed. “Jackwrasses. Mollusks. Total guppies.” “Shh!” Empress Ahadi said. “Sit still and be quiet!” Neela was quiet for all of two seconds, then she p...
It was less than a week, but it seemed like an eternity. Five days of enduring Lucia’s smile, her touch, her kisses. Of listening to the boring gossip and cruel jokes of her friends. Five days of dancing attendance on Portia. Of listening to Vallerio’s plans to raid more villages, enslave more ci...
