Serephina is amazing!
Hartman writes with intelligent
diction that leaves me with a state of euphoria! Every page is comprises of
words worthy of appreciation. I can see how hard Rachel worked on creating and
writing this book.
The world is well designed and
imaginative. The people in Seraphina’s head were a bit confusing, but halfway
through the book I fully comprehended that they were people that existed like
Seraphina. The dragons with their
indifference were characterized wonderfully. I enjoyed reading the flawless
placement and context of Serephina’s mother’s memories.
The characters are all amazing!
Seraphina is strong. Princess Glisselda is sassy and a wonderful friend. Prince
Lucien Kiggs is a wonderful strategist, the perfect match to Seraphina. Orma is
an awesome and insightful dragon!
There was a brilliant clue left in
this book about whom the villain dragon shape-shifted into that I completely
ignored.
Definitely read Seraphina!

I really enjoyed this story of a
summer love, overcoming regret and learning to understand others. Kate, with
her faults in judgment and her constant thrust of her religious values, was
easy to understand and watch her open her mind to new experiences.
I completely understand her
thoughts of loneliness, feeling that now one remembers her from high school. Kate
lost her only real friend, her best friend Emily, in an argument of mixed minds.
I personally don't feel that Kate
should have regretted what she did for Emily, but I understand why. Her beliefs
contrast with what she did. I am glad with what happened with Emily and Kate in
the end, even though it happened abruptly. Overall, this is an enjoyable book.
Thanks for reading!
I have been hearing such good things about Seraphina, it really does sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I plan on reading Miranda's books, I have the first two to get me going!
Rachel I adored both of these books too! I did find everything that was going on in Seraphina's head confusing at first too, but midway through I was completely hooked! Things I Can't Forget was a lot different to Kenneally's previous novels, but I enjoyed the path she decided to focus on in this story! Wonderful reviews Rachel! :)
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when Seraphina came out, but I ended up putting it down after a few chapters because I was kind of confused. Your review makes me want to pick it up again and give it another chance, though. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree with you! Seraphina is an absolute favorite of mine and Hartman writes such intelligent characers AND her language is so very clean and precise. Plus, she gave us Kiggs to swoon over, didn't she? That's a win as far as I'm concerned. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Seraphina so much! It ended up being my second favorite read of 2012 (after Code Name Verity) and I happily shared it with my friends.
ReplyDeleteLovely mini-reviews, Rachel! I still haven't read both of this book but I'm planning to get into them soon especially since I've been hearing a lot of positive reviews about them. I'm happy that you enjoyed these books.

I've heard good things about both books, Rachel. I read a few chapters of Things I Can't Forget and then I had to put it aside for another review book. I need to pick it back up.
ReplyDeleteSeraphina is another book I want to read with it's dragons and wonderful fantasy. Lovely reviews, Rachel. :)
These are two I keep meaning to read! I started Seraphina but couldn't get into it, so I put it on hold for a while, and I seem to have forgotten about it since. I'm glad you enjoyed Things I Can't Forget too. Great reviews!
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing such good things about Seraphina, it really does sound amazing!
