And this was it.
I have to say I was confusion while reading most of the book - and I was a little bored. But all that was probably me just thinking of Endgame instead of being submerged into the story...
I love Patrick Ness's writing style but this definitely wasn't my favourite book of his....more
The One Memory of Flora Banks put me to sleep. I'm not even trying to be mean. I would come home from work, start reading, and... I'd be asleep in 5 mThe One Memory of Flora Banks put me to sleep. I'm not even trying to be mean. I would come home from work, start reading, and... I'd be asleep in 5 minutes max. I think that is mostly thanks to the writing. And I was in a high fantasy mood while reading. (And I hate repetition (it got crazy)). I'll probably pick it up again, like I say with DNF books, but I won't be in a hurry to anyhow....more
Sure the plot of the book is intriguing. It's slow though. So very, very, slow. I DNF-ed it at the part where the characters are having 10+ page Q&A. (I'm not even joking) Seriously, couldn't the author just weave the answers to the questions throughout the book instead of having a full on discussion that lasts chapters? Needless to say, it put me into a massive reading slump. To be honest, I did only pick it up because of the cover (shh!) and that's the only regret I have (that I won't buy this beautiful cover for my shelf) Other than that..

The premise sounded intriguing but the reviews had me wary... I went into this with low expectations but it wasn't enough. The writBuddy read with El!!
The premise sounded intriguing but the reviews had me wary... I went into this with low expectations but it wasn't enough. The writing... oh my... definitely not my type! I couldn't concentrate with the writing being so irritating. I was in confusion (probably because of the writing) for almost the entire book. And then there's this dude called Joseph... man, what is his problem?!!
I wish... I wish this book had just stuck to what it promised on the back of the cover... I wanted assassin queens battling for the throne! I will say the plot twists were good. Sadly that's the only thing I liked. If I wasn't buddy reading this with El I probably would've DNF'ed this....more
