T This: Why did I read *This* book?
I have been hearing a lot of good things about this series and so I wanted to give it a try. I do not read a lot of middle grade which is why it has taken so long for me to get to it.
C Characters: Were they believable, sympathetic, interesting?
The characters were so amazing. I absolutely loved all the characters. I felt connected to the side characters and the main characters and I love the way their friendships developed.
P Plot/Pace: Was it engaging? Were there holes? Did it feel too rushed or too long?
I felt that this started out slow and built from there. There was quite a bit of action and amazing friendships.
A Atmosphere: How did it make me feel? What was the world like? This might include overall tone.
The world was exciting and 'scary' and there was a lot of adventure. There were monsters and Ash was a song weaver who could talk to and control the monsters. The world seems unique and I absolutely loved it.
S Style: What was the writing style like? Simplistic or sophisticated? Clunky or beautiful?
This is a middle grade novel so it was more simplistic but I thought that the author was able to make the characters come alive.
E Enjoyment: Was it a chore to finish or compelling enough that I picked it over other fun activities?
It did take a while for me to get into this novel. I think it took till about page 80 but once I got into it, I was hooked and could not put the novel down.
This is a middle grade novel so I think that some people will not be interested in it but I rated it a 4 star. I thought it was wholesome and I loved the happy feelings it gave me. Sometimes you need books that make you happy and this was one of them. I have a full list of books to read this month but I think I'll try and get to the second book sometime soon
