I'm kind of interested in reading This Savage Song but if her style of writing is similar in all of her books then I feel like I'll get bored again. Her books aren't necessarily on my radar, but if one comes my way I think I'll give it a fair chance.paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-80701977041413280652016-09-02T09:03:59.439-04:002016-09-02T09:03:59.439-04:00I'm not sure if I want to read this novel or n...I'm not sure if I want to read this novel or not - I enjoyed The Archived and The Unbound by the author (though, they weren't as magical and exceptional as I expected seeing the hype that surrounds all her works), but I decided to DNF This Savage Song, because - while the concept is really interesting and the characters are unique - I feel like nothing exciting nor outstanding has happened so far and I'm already past 30%. <br />I've never been interested in the synopsis of A Darker Shade of Magic - it was more the hype & the reviews that lured me in... and I SO want to join in on the fun, but I seem to be kinda bored by her novels...<br />Do you want to read other novels by the author? :)<br />Amazing review, Em!! <33Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813427718618609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-32869764945525220822016-08-22T09:04:27.489-04:002016-08-22T09:04:27.489-04:00I think what drew me to this book was the hype!

I totally get just not being interested in a book, but if you read any other of Schwab's books, I'd be very curious to hear what you think!paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-6824294487814420562016-08-22T01:38:22.088-04:002016-08-22T01:38:22.088-04:00YOU DID NOT LIKE THIS.

Maybe it's the hype, but not even the blurb excites me or anything. Take The Raven Boys, for instance. Even though I was very late in getting on the bandwagon, I've always felt this curiosity about those books. Here I don't even feel that. Better stay away, yes? Maybe I'll pick one of Schwab's other books first and see how I like it :) Great review, Em! I'm sorry this one failed to impress.Ruzaika @ Wordy & Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622559256241751912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-87495085168799854062016-08-22T01:04:52.849-04:002016-08-22T01:04:52.849-04:00I think if you've read Schwab's other book...I think if you've read Schwab's other books then you'll probably like this one as well.
