Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by Broke and the Bookish |
This week is a 'freebie' week so I thought I would do a TTT from a few weeks ago which I missed. When I first saw the 'Favourite 2016 Releases So Far This Year' topic I couldn't really think of that many of this years releases that I had read, but I got on trusty Goodreads and I have actually read more than ten so here are my favourites:
Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1) by Susan Dennard
4.25 STARS
"Generally, I enjoyed this book it took a while to get into the world and grow to like the characters. However, I wasn't blown away but I feel as though the action really picked up in the last hundred pages, so I am hopeful that the sequels will be better."

Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye
4.5 STARS"I really enjoyed this dark retelling of Jane Eyre, the wicked main character was an entertaining narrator. It took me a while to get use to the style of writing but I had got into the swing of it, I enjoyed the story more and more as I read. This book mixes a survivor of the harrowing issues of the 19th Century England with survivors of the Punjabi battlefields. They both carry scars and secrets which they slowly begin to discover about one another, and it was great to read of the adventures that these discoveries create."

Rebel of the Sands (Rebel of the Sands #1) by Alwyn Hamilton
5 STARS
"I was drawn to this book because of the djinni/ the Sultan giving it this Aladdin style and then the twist of an western feel mixed in. I have to say I wasn't disappointed by this book I love the mix and the book was an amazing action packed read."

"This book is an amazing read, which I flew through and would highly recommend. It was fast paced, full of action with some magic thrown into the mix too. I loved the characters and there interactions and banter made this an greatly entertaining story. We are left with a spectacular ending, which leaves me highly anticipating the sequel."

The Crown's Game (#1) by Evelyn Skye

5 STARS
I love the world or more accurately the alternative Russia in which this book is set. The magic was wonderful to read with such creative results. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
