Humour, action and a bit of mystery and romance. Definitely sounds like my type of book. Especially with all these interwoven plots, I like something that is a little more complex. <br /><br />Fantastic review! :)Livvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441931016080817720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-62024683267871070692012-08-11T07:30:39.590+01:002012-08-11T07:30:39.590+01:00Lovely review!

Also, hearing that you loved them is a definite recommend to me. <br /><br />@Aneeqah-600 pages is intimidating but they seemed to fly by to me. The 1920s setting was so different but so much fun. I hope you like it if you do pick it up. <br /><br />@Aa'Ishah-More high praise for the Gemma Doyle series!

The Diviners is extremely witty and funny too. Hope you like it when/if you pick it up. And thanks, Riyal! xo :)<br /><br />@Leanna-I hope you like this as much as I did.

I was concerned when I started that all the different storylines were going to be too much and it was going to be a jumbled mess of characters and side stories, but I thought Libba did a great job of keeping one central focus and then slowly adding new threads in a way that wasn't distracting to the murder mystery.

The main character, Evie, doesn't sound ANYTHING like me, so I'm worry that I would have trouble connecting with her. However, I liked books by Libba Bray so I though I should give this a go! Oh well, 600 pages? I think I would feel intimidated like you too at first LOL! x) I'm excited that this is such a page-flipper though! <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-63848728777279508682012-07-31T13:59:54.910+01:002012-07-31T13:59:54.910+01:00Fantastic review as always, Rachel!
