Some of the writing was overly flowery, some of the chapters were utterly incomprehensible...and yet, there's just something there that draws the reader in. I found it irritating that the art was different for each chapter, and would have really liked to have seen unity both in illustration and plot. I still don't know what the overarching storyline of this was supposed to be because there simply wasn't one. Particularly disappointing was the 2nd chapter, falling into the graphic novel trap of excessive nudity with absolutely no purpose. I didn't need to see that, it served no purpose. I really did want to learn more about the Endless, though, and I found some of the dropped plot threads to be really intriguing, and I just want to know more. I hope some of the issues are cleared up in the next few volumes, because I feel like there's a really good story somewhere beneath all the clutter.

Rating: 3.5/5
I got this book from...:

James Dashner

The Death Cure written by James Dashner No, really, what did I read and why ?  James Dashner, what, what, what are you doing?  There are a few cool reveals along the way, but as far as books go, this was not a satisfying conclusion to a trilogy.  We get answers, but the one thing I wanted to know most of all (Thomas' past) remains a mystery.  It felt like most of this book was pointless action that dragged on for no reason, so even though there were things happening, it felt like nothing was happening at all.  The plot was not advanced.  It was violence for the sake of violence.  Theresa and Thomas were, at this point, the only two characters I cared about, and Teresa barely showed up at all in the entirety of the story.  The ending was rushed, and yes, I enjoyed the few twists we got at the very  end (the last page ), but come on.  This was a story that needed answers and plot twists and instead, we got epic battle scenes that I didn't ...

Review: Cowboy Villain Damsel Duel - Ginger Scott

Review: Cowboy Villain Damsel Duel - Ginger Scott - January 2020 With this book, I wasn't sure what to expect but with the tagline, Riverdale meets Inception and the title sounding like clique identities and the number #1 fact that it was written by Ginger Scott, I knew it would be a book that I would read as soon as I could. I have to admit it was mind-blowing and as you read the book without giving too much away it was very much less Riverdale to myself and a WHOLE lot Inception with the whole dream within a dream within a dream feel to the book. I do have to admit in parts I was confused as we don't until the latter part of the novel get to know the character's real names - they are labeled Cowboy, Damsel and Villain in their alternate dream worlds and in their everyday high school lives they are the popular jock Quarterback leading the school to victory, the Class President and all-rounder working her way to make sure she gets Valedictorian and then the burnout who spe...
