My Reading Week 19/08/19


Welcome back to my reading week. In these posts I will be sharing with you all of the bookish things that happen to me over the week. What I've been reading, my thoughts and any book post I receive. 

Books Read

The Edge (Relics, #3)

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this one as much as I had hoped. The story felt a bit disjointed, we had the introduction of some new characters and a new subplot and I don't think these really added much to the overall story. I just wanted some more action overall.

Another one that didn't quite live up to the hype unfortunately. I thought the plot was interesting and I really enjoyed the characters however the story was quite predictable in places and there were a lot of conveniences. I also felt the ending was very rushed and that resulted in it being a little lacklustre for me.

I'm really enjoying this one so far. I love the writing style and the way the story is structured using diary entries and letters. I also love Audrey as a character, she is really voracious and passionate, albeit a little reckless.
