This is Thoughts on Thursday, where I talk about a review I found hilarious/wonderful/insightful/AWESOME.

Today I'm featuring of review of Defy, a YA fantasy dropping around the new year. My review of it will be posted on December 23rd, but today I'm talking about Kimmy's review of the novel over on Belle of the Bookstore. Kimmy has mastered the art of GIF-using. They really do add to the review.

And while I agree with her on some things and disagree on others, I enjoyed reading her review. Here are some excerpts:

So, lately, I’ve been having problems believing the worlds that authors create in their novels, but the world that is created in Defy is actually pretty good. I didn’t even question the validity of it; I was too disgusted with what was actually happening. Larson made me care about the word and the people of Antion.

This is a complete exaggeration, but it felt like Alex liked every guy that we were introduced to as readers. This sorta annoyed me at first, but then it clicked. If I was 17, and I was surrounded by attractive, muscular, soldier guys, I would fall in love with all of them too. So, touché, Alex, you win, you’re surrounded by attractive men.

Here is a link to the review.

And a link to the book.


Happy reading!
Kelsey
