Inspired, but Muddy

Revisado: 01-17-22

It's clear Bacchanal was heavily influenced by The Night Circus, but the author bit off more than she could chew. The story meandered and did not need to go on for as long as it did. There were too many elements jostling for attention and the end result was a muddy, confusing mess.
Also, the climax was less than excited, seemed to be over rather quickly, and not worth the looooooong build-up it took getting there.
I really wanted to like this book, but it took me MONTHS to finish. It was a chore.

Hated it.

Revisado: 10-13-21

The idea of the origins of Black people was interesting, but one I've heard before. This work was poorly executed and a massive chore to finish. I hated the characters, hated their actions, hated their background stories. I just hated it!
Anf the voice actor was hard to understand. He sounded as if he were mumble rapping instead of narrating a story. Ugh. What WAS this mess??

Ha! The Tables Have Turned!

Revisado: 10-13-21

What if women were in power? What if women's bodies were the standard? What if men were hopeless? What if being a man was criminalized?
Oh, this book was DELICIOUS.

For Us, By Her

Revisado: 09-04-21

The concept is one that I can get behind, and crave. This book asks "What if we had the power to take back Our Power?" And I loved every minute of it

It Tried. It Really Did.

Revisado: 04-10-21

There were a lot of really important themes that were touched on in this book, but that is a part of the issue. The book probably should have been at least 50-100 pages longer to properly address all the themes it touched on in passing. There needed to be more development. Instead, the story was rushed and messy.
It was also nonsensical. I understand having to move the plot along, but how ignorant can some parents be? It's as if they were literally born yesterday.
And some plot points were completely unnecessary and should have been reworked, namely the Gabby character. She was absolutely random for no reason.
Meh.

A Wasted Credit

Revisado: 01-04-21

How many people did Riley Sager pay to give this boring, bland, mayo-flavored "novel" positive reviews?
I'm so annoyed by the mediocrity that is this mess.
It was slow, hard to finish, and I didn't like any of the characters.
Dear me. This book makes my teeth itch.

Whew!

Revisado: 12-12-20

I'm thankful for the ending, but my word! This was a trying novel. Nina and her mom are absolutely nuttier than squirrel excrement! Ugh.. How can a book be so good and so AGGRAVATING at the same time?! I love Marrs and I am a fan for life!!

HORRIBLE

Revisado: 11-30-20

I'm not sure what happened between this book and the last, but my God this is horrible. It's preachy and has an agenda and I couldn't get past 25%. Will Wheaton is a HORRIBLE voice actor and I should have known this would be garbage from the get-go.
I am SO ANGRY I WASTED A CREDIT ON THIS!!!!

Horrible Cartoon-Like Narrator

Revisado: 11-22-20

I couldn't even get into the story because the voice actress sounds like she is pining for a walk-on role on The Animaniacs reboot. She is the worst and completely distracts from the story. My word.
