Legacy (Legacy #1)
Legacy is the kind of book that is usually totally me. Charming, quaint and mysterious atmosphere and boarding school setting with it's hidden secrets but sadly it just wasn't enough. The writing was okay, but it didn't quite have that spark that gives it the right flow. It felt either to rushed or to slow moving and while the characters were interesting enough I felt no connection to them or their situation.
There are not alot of books that I have to force myself to finish. Usually I make sure I am going to like something before I start reading it. Unfortunately this turned out to be one of those books. I absolutely loved the first ten chapters. I liked the main female character and the premise seemed good. However the romance between her and her crush was just...let's just say that I didn't feel it. Most romances make me weak in the knees and giddy while this one just left me feeling rather...blah.
I loved Legacy! It was such a magical and action packed story. Ever since The Secret Circle television show was cancelled, theres been a giant witch-shaped gap in my life. Ive been craving a wonderfully witchy novel that captured some of those same elements from the show. After reading various YA witch stories, Legacy was the perfect fit! I absolutely adored the novel and I cannot wait to read the sequel. I was contacted for the opportunity to participate in the blog tour for the sequel, Poison,
2.5....I really struggled with this book. It was everything I wanted, but it just didn't work for me the way I would've liked it to.
Is it just me who founds this plot very similar to Firespell by Chloe Neil + Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins or everyone else too?!Still, gonna read it!^^
Review Courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick and Dirty: Legacy had surprising depth and character development that kept me interested until the end.Opening Sentence: I was sixteen years old when I discovered exactly whoand whatI was.The Review:The novel starts with Katy arriving at her new boarding school after being uprooted from everything she knew after her dad gets married. If that isnt troubling enough, she finds out that her mothers family, who founded her new school, already has a reputation

DNF page 231(This review is based off the 231 pages that I read of this book, not the whole thing. Dont take every word of this seriously, I dont know what happens after that point)To be honest, Ive never liked witch books (excluding the Sabrina the Teenage Witch series). I wasnt very surprised that I ended up hating this book. Yes, hating. And, that is very unusual for me to say, because I always try to find the positives in every book. I actually feel kind of bad for writing this review. IllLegacy is the kind of book that is usually totally me.
