I conducted a survey to find out which of three possible books, you, the readers of my blog wanted me to review first. The results are in and the winner is...
Title: Warped# of Pages: 339
Author: Maurissa Guibord
Previous Work:
Warped is her first novel.
Summary: Tessa is a normal teenager. She hangs out in her
father's book shop with her friend, Opal. Then one day she
finds a creepy unicorn tapestry and is drawn to it. From there
her life changes. She pulls a thread out of the tapestry and
ends up with handsome nobleman, William de Chaucy in her
room. The three Sisters of Norn, mythological figures, believe
that Tessa has been controlling peoples' lives, which is
their job. She has to give all the people she supposedly
controlled back, or they'll take away everything good in her
life.
Rating: I give this book a four.
Awards:
2012 Rita award finalist for:
Best First Novel and
Best Young Adult Romance
Opinion: Warped was an amazing romantic fantasy. The
characters had depth. I have a major complaint, though.
The end of the book promised a sequel, but the author has
said that there won't be another. Besides the ending the
book is one you have to read. And maybe the author will
change her mind.
A side note is, that this book was the reason I decided to start my blog. I had read many reviews on it, and disagreed with all of them. All the adults said the story lacked, and I thought besides the ending, it was perfect. I thought I could do a better job reviewing books than them, if only because I'm a teenager.
oh, I adore this book already! I love these types of books. I absolutely agree with what you said, that grown ups don't always think the way we think, so they aren't the best judges of children's books!
ReplyDeleteEven though you make me mad because all of the books (because I can't read them!), but you like the books that I like so you are a good reviewer to me. Thanks for the novel review on this novel!
