So while this book wasn’t bad, I just didn’t connect with the story. I thought most of the parts were boring and I really was just bored.

But, the writing was good, and the Watsons were pretty funny at times so I gave this book 3 stars.

We read this in class, and while I did enjoy it, it wasn’t that memorable.

Maybe it was just me but I really didn’t understand it that well and why people love it so much

First off I just want to say, this story is on Wattpad but that doesn’t downgrade the enjoyment level. The writing was so great, and the author honestly was amazing.

Also, this book had such a powerful message, and the suspense leading up to what happened to Sawyer a year before was done absolutely amazing.

And I love Graham Cracker with all of my heart

This book probably isn’t worth giving 5 stars over, but I loved Alec and Riley with all of my heart

DNF at 25%

My first DNF of 2020. That sucks to say really. It wasn’t that I hated ‘Truthwitch’ it just was a bad written novel, and here is why.

• Truthwitch is a YA fantasy novel following the ‘sisters’ Safiya’ (Safi) and ‘Isuelt’ as they run away from people throughout their continent/empire, while still making time for romance?

• One of the main reasons I have given this book one star is because of the world building. Or the lack of it. Their is only a segment in the book that talks about a 20 year agreement of some sort (which I couldn’t care enough about to remember) and that their are 3 empires. THAT’S IT. That’s bad world building. A lot of others say the world building gets better throughout the books, but you need to give your reader a basic understanding of the world. Me not understanding the world set me out of the story.

• Their isn’t really a plot either. I started the audiobook last night (because I was sorting my bookshelves and I wanted something to listen to) but I found myself seeing NO plot. All we have is two girls running away from guards for reasons totally unknown to us and falling in love with pirate princes? I just couldn’t find myself to see a plot.

• Plus we have a romance that we can see from 10 miles away. From the moment we met princeling, I KNEW he would Safi’s love interest and one true love. It was bound to happen and their was literally no build up. Many people I heard were calling this a “hate to love romance”. Bitch I think tf not! It’s a instalove to ultra instalove romance! Their is no tension, no hate, and no questioning the other person. You can’t tell me that’s a hate to love romance. I’ve read plenty in my time, and hate to love is when two characters actually have a mutual hatred (or strong dislike) for the other and their is big tension. The ‘hate to love’ was poorly portrayed, and not put together.

• The characters also have NO personality, and nothing special or interesting enough about them for me to care a single bit. Our ‘special one’ Safi is a Truthwitch. But she had no interesting qualities, and nothing remotely interesting to make me like her. Iseult is the exact same way (except she’s not a witch). Also our main love interest (who’s name I forgot because I could give 0 shits) is all ‘my sister is evil, my family is evil, but I’m good’ trope thing. God give me a damn break.

• And the fact that people would kill Safi if they knew her secret...yet somehow everyone knows? Plot holes. It doesn’t make sense to me. Their running from some guy that can’t be killed (and he has red eyes), yet somehow everyone else just magically knows Safi is a Truthwitch. It doesn’t make any sense.

Overall this wasn’t a good book. It has poor world building, boring characters, a bad hate to love romance, uninteresting and nonexistent plot, and plot holes.


-Another trash review from yours truly , the rat

-it’s the year of the rat after all

I really enjoyed this second book!

I think it was better than vampire academy tbh. It was more interesting, had more drama, more things going on, and more Rose + Dmitri!

Definitely going to continue on and hopefully finish this series.

(Sorry for not a full length review, I’m feeling lazy)
