“But yes, love as cancer holds up quite well. Something that grows inside of you against your will and without your consent, slowly taking over more and more vital parts until it kills you.” Well that was surprisingly enjoyable, funny, romantic and yes, super cheesy. The beautiful cover doesn’t quite match the preceding descriptions. I thought this was going to be a serious, epic fantasy book derived from Egyptian mythology but I’m very amused at the comic almost silly take on these suppose

Read This Review & More Like It On Ageless Pages Reviews!The Accused: The Chaos of Stars' cast, writing, plottingThe Offense(s): Criminal waste of time, cover fraud, squandering a great premise, using cliches and juvenile writingThe Prosecution: Jessie, a disappointed readerOpening Argument: Ladies and gentleman, I present to you a blurb that promises Egyptian gods, a creative new take for young adult supernatural fiction, and an interesting plot. The Chaos of Stars delivers Egyptian gods, sure

Actual rating: 2.5 I don’t need a new person to suddenly spring up under my skin and push out who I was, who I’ve already decided to be. Those feelings have no place in my life and I will not let myself be a fool in love, with love, let it take over and destroy me. It would be so easy for me to list what I disliked about this book, and rant about what a little bitch Isadora is and how much I hated her, but it's not so simple as that. You will get no arguments from me that our main cha...

Check out Scott Reads It I wanted to enjoy The Chaos Of The Stars, I really did. I loved the description and cover for this book but I can't bear to read any more of this drivel. I'm DNFing at 20% for my own sake because this book makes me want to pull out my hair. Isadora is by far the worst protagonist I've ever read about. Compared to Isadora, Bella Swan is practically literary genius. Yes Isadora is that bad of a MC. She made we want to cringe and roll my eyes on every single page. She is c...

Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for a copy of this book.3.5 starsHere on Goodreads you'll see some fairly low ratings for this book, but I don't think they're necessarily deserved. I actually thought this one was pretty entertaining.However.Don't go into it expecting it to be an epic journey into mythological Egypt. No, it's more of a story about growing up and realizing that just because your parents aren't perfect, doesn't mean they don't love you.The older I (and my children) get, th...

I kept a rigorous set of journals from the ages of 12 to 15. I wrote in them almost every day - I even got my friends to contribute little conversations when we sat together in class or hung out together. I tried going through them one day sometime last year, only to discover how terribly juvenile they all were, but hey, I was a tween!Reading The Chaos of Stars felt somewhat like rereading those old diaries. Difference is, Isadora was a full 5 years my senior at the time of writing those diaries...

Nose Graze — Young Adult book reviewsI am hugely disappointed by The Chaos of Stars , mainly because I'm a HUGE fan of Egyptian mythology. But the book really fell flat for me. Let me break it down for you: Isadora, human daughter of Egyptian gods, hates her family because she feels like they use her to generate worship so that they won't die. Isadora moves to San Diego. Isadora becomes addicted to sugar and Coke (Coca Cola.. not like... cocaine). Isadora works at

as the human daughter of Egyptian gods.........Egyptian gods.....Egyptian SOLD!!!!!!!!!!! THE COVER,GORGEOUS COVER!!!!

DNF. I read about a quarter of it and my feelings went something like: boring, boring, boring, offensive, boring, boring... ooh, look, my cat!

This book is reminiscent of Rick Riordan's series on mythology, but unlike his, it's a stand-alone. That in itself is pretty refreshing, considering how everyone is writing series, trilogies, etc. It's so nice to pick up and read a book and actually have the story end with the final page. ^_^I'm a fan of mythologies, so I loved the concept of following the Egyptians gods/goddesses and their offspring, with the setting being the modern world. I love the idea of them existing/navigating our time p...

Clearly the gods of beautiful covers feel very benevolent towards Kiersten White. Her Mind Games cover is simply gorgeous, but this one is even better because it’s actually connected to the story. I love the night sky and all those stunning stars… Okay, moving on to more important matters now.When I first learned what The Chaos of Stars was about, I was afraid the pitiful sum of my knowledge on Egyptian mythology would cause me to do this book injustice. But instead of making me feel like the id...

"You should study current events," he says, standing tall again. "Then you will know why the god of chaos still walks the earth, and never needs fear oblivion." 3.5 🌟This was good, I really liked Isadora and her friends. Her family is totally messed up but we've all learned from Percy Jackson that having gods in the family kinda makes that a given.I can't tell much without giving stuff away but I got a few thoughts. That gift of language is the coolest gift ever and I'm jealous! The deal wit

I loved this book! It was very funny, witty & a wonderful roller coaster read. The main character was a lot like me so I really connected to her. I learned a lot about the Egyptian gods & I really enjoyed reading about their powers & specialties. I'd love to see more of these characters. I like the love interest & that the romance wasn't instalove. I recommend this to everyone.

I am also not a book archeologist or am claiming to be a doctor of any kind even though I have a JD which is technically a doctorate most people don't call me doctor unless they're my aunt.From the Diaries of Dr. MJ---book archeologist: in LucasFilm's set for Ancient Egypt (hey, I need something more dramatic than my storage unit)I made a strange discovery today

First of all, I apologize for the extremely long review but I had so much to say! I hope it doesn't scare people off. *-*I got this book really early from the lovely people at Edelweiss and HarperTeen. So thank you!I couldn't believe it at first actually because I hadn't known about this book for very long. I saw it on Goodreads only the week before and my eyes almost fell out of their sockets because of the gorgeous cover (I might even buy the print book once it comes out because I love the cov...

I will only--and I mean only--be reading this one if it receives four stars or higher from trusted friends of mine.Rest assured I won't be holding my breath--nor would I release it having not known I was holding it, which is something White's characters seem to have an annoying habit of doing.

I can't tell if I had a migraine before, while, or after reading this book. Either way my head is killing me and I'm trying to figure out who I hate more or less than Isadora.The Chaos of Stars was chaotic AF. Isadora was so god damn annoying that I wanted to punch myself for picking this book up. She was an angry, bratty, and a stubborn girl. Even though she has some character growth throughout the book.. I still hated the bitch. God, I would rather reread the whole Twilight series THEN watch a...

I started off not liking the story, but I think I warmed up to the characters starting the 2nd half. Here are some of my thoughts:• The plot in general was a bit rocky at times. I think there could have been just a bit more depth. And don’t get me wrong b/c I love the mythology aspect. I think it is more the combining mythology with the modern – it could have gone smoother and could have been more well-rounded. Here is this child of the gods going to San Diego, making friends, working a job, and...

Entertaining but forgettable. This book focuses more on the romance and angst rather than the Egyptian mythology. It is better off as a contemporary than a retelling in my opinion.Overall, it was an okay read!

I do love me some good mythology and I also love me some Kiersten White. And in my mission to read everything by her, I came across this book that I bought awhile ago but never sat down and read. This was a really quick read and it was fun.Isadora just wants to live her own life free from her family's shadow. But that's really hard to do when you're the daughter of Gods. But when her mother becomes pregnant (again) and starts to have visions of a growing darkness, Isadora gets her wish and moves...
