Great and Terrible Beauty
I feel like this book was mostly a love or hate sort of book, before I read it. However, I found A Great and Terrible Beauty to be quite average. It was neither outstanding nor had any “bad” qualities that made me really dislike it. However, it didn’t pull me in as much as I wished it would, and I feel satisfied that I wasn’t on the “love it” side or the “hate it” side, as I feel most are. There were quite a number of “plot points” that I didn’t fully understand, but at least I was entertained by the story, the time period, and especially the ending. This is one of those times where you’ll really need the “liked” and “disliked” section of this review to understand my feelings on this book.Read more?http://thaliasbooks.tumblr.com/post/10307629773/a-great-and-terrible-beauty-review
