DNF at 60%Eh I really wanted to like this. There really wasn't anything 'wrong' with it, it just didn't catch my interest. Typical evil queen who is evil just because she's evil and wants power. Heroine doesn't really stand out and has powers she can't seem to surface. Take my rating with a grain of salt though, because of course there's a likelihood that it got better in the last half, but I just stopped caring and I didn't want to invest more time in it. Perhaps I'll return at a later date! My...
After seeing so many glowing reviews for this series and repeatedly getting it recommended to me, I finally took the plunge and gave this series and author a try.I wish I could say that I loved this read, or even that I liked it, but the truth is, I feel very indifferent about it.For whatever reason, from the very beginning, I had a hard time connecting to the story line and the characters itself.The writing isn't bad nor the story line but yet I just couldn't get into the heart of the story. Th...
3.5 Oh, how I've missed this author!I've been meaning to read this series for ages now, don't know why I put it off for so long.It's fun and cute and fast-paced, just like all of Mayer's series. For now, it's a pretty light read, really relaxing and nice to have.The characters are interesting and, although predictable, fun.The story itself has a lot of potential and I have a feeling I'll like Lark in the long run.
I wanted to like this one, it had a good beginning... but it was too poorly written. I got as far as halfway before giving up.
Fast paced entertaining read in the elemental realm.
Reviewed by: Rabid Reads.My desire to one-click Shannon Mayer’s Elementals grew with every RYLEE ADAMSON installment I read until Larkspur’s character was officially introduced in several novellas as well as book 9 which also happened to be the point where I finished playing catch-up on that particular story line, and what ultimately prompted me to take-up RECURVE. This title unfolds thirty some years prior to PRICELESS, so if you were hoping for continuity (like I was), you’ll be bummed at firs...
More reviews available at my blog, Beauty and the Bookworm.This is a confusing book because I'm not sure exactly what it was supposed to be and I'm not sure that Mayer knew, either. It definitely falls into the "paranormal" category (I categorize paranormal as fantasy that takes place in the "normal" world, and it may or may not be urban--this is not) but beyond that, it's kind of a mess. The plot follows Lark (short for Larkspur) a bastard princess of the Earth Elementals who...apparently live
This one was alright, but the story moved so fast that it felt like nothing was explained well. The characters were inconsistent and confusing....it was really hard to get behind them and root for them. The MC kept switching between a "doormat" and a "stubborn warrior" type of person. I HATED that she kept going back to her jerk boyfriend (and sleeping with him) because she "felt bad" or "was trying to give him a chance". I mean really!?!? Have some self-respect and dump him already!With that be...
2.5 stars.The middle bit of this was fairly fun in a sort of not very deep, actiony suspense-lite kind of way, but the prologue was heart-breaking and the last 25% turned in to needlessly stupid actionfest (view spoiler)[when you're on a time critical mission don't go to a random place and pick up your dads mistress who you previously sent in to hiding to protect her from the still very-much-at-large villain, especially don't drag the same pregnant mistress through a heavily guarded enemy strong...
fun quick read, I will be continuing with this series because it was interesting enough to keep me on the hook and I'm also hoping that Lark and Ash will get together later on in the series.. I seriously want that to happen. I also really enjoyed Larkspur, she had drive and guts and did what needed to be done and wasn't the typical "special snowflake" that seems to be the go-to when writing books now a days. She was flawed and looked at as useless and never had anyone helping to make her life ea...
