http://booknotized.com A place to think, reflect, and talk (mostly to myself) about books I love...and a few that I don't.

I might try it again, though, sometime when I feel blue (hopefully before I turn purple).

I love stuff based on Greek myths! Really want to tackle Abandon, Quiver, and a book based on Icarus the name of which escapes me at the moment. But, doing this research into books based on the Illiad (Odyssey up soon, too!) has really whet my appetite for some of the titles above!

But, honestly, I was drawn to the cover. It’s so unique. And, I wasn’t altogether disappointed on that front. It’s not a literary marvel, which I hope you got from my review. But it is a fresh take, has a techy draw, and is short of some of the transparent (groan-worthy) flaws that books like The Mortal Instruments claim. Hope you try it and come back to share your thoughts!
