Q: What book/books got a lot of hype but were a disappointment for you?
A: Right away I can think of two, The Raven Boys and Station Eleven. Sorry, not sorry. Especially for Emily Mandel's book. I had read The Singer's Gun years ago and loved it. Station Eleven just didn't compare for me after reading that. So nope. The Raven Boys, every one of the blogs I follow loved it, and just sitting here writing about it my face get twisted up. I'm still like whatever. 🤷

This one sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I have to say, I love that title! Love the snippets. Sounds like a really good book!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover and the title. But you know I'm a cozy girl. ;-) Thanks for adding me!
ReplyDeleteI have several books by this author on my Kindle. They all look so good. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Raven Boys and Station Eleven (but that was my first book by the author)--I'll need to check out The Singer's Gun!
ReplyDeleteThat prologue opening has my thoughts going in all sorts of directions. Not a good situation to be in. And your Friday 56 is quite intense! I am glad to see you enjoyed Willow Rose.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read either Station Eleven or Raven Boys, although I do want to. I enjoyed a couple of Mandel's earlier books and remember when Station Eleven came out--how excited everyone was. It's one of those books I worry won't live up to the hype. I can see it didn't for you. We can't all like the same books, right?
Have a great weekend, Freda. Stay safe and well.
