Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
2.0
It was so bad. I got bored getting to the middle of the book and it never picked up again. The huge revelation was underwhelming and frankly felt a bit lazy.
Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee
5.0
My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. Not because the book is missing anything but purely because I enjoyed it so much I was not ready for the story to be over.
This was, to me, a sort of trial read for Fonda Lee because I am interested in reading Jade City but was too hesitant due to the fact that it is not a stand alone novel but also because of the sheer size of it. I have not really read a big chunky book in some time and it has been hard getting back in the habit. Needless to say my fears have been greatly diminished. The author was able to create meaningful relationships, believable world building, and character progression within 180 pages. I am impressed.
