Princess Academy | Book Review

August 7, 2015

Initial Thoughts Miri, the main character, is only fourteen years old. So, naturally, she thinks like a fourteen-year-old! This is totally a good thing because the book is a geared toward that audience and once I adjusted my mindset to this I found myself captivated by her character.

Clockwork Angel | Book Review

July 10, 2015

  Initial Thoughts It only took me two days to read this book. That’s how badly I wanted to know what was going to happen next.
