A History of Glitter and Blood | Hannah Moskowitz

so-so

This book and I had a complicated relationship. I originally started it and came very close to bailing...I was standing at my library's drop box ready to give up...and I just couldn't. So I started the book again, and I found that I actually enjoyed it. The writing style takes a little bit to get used to, and the world isn't explained as much as I would like, but I'm glad I didn't give up on it.

A story about fairies who live forever but get eaten on the regular by gnomes... Really violent and different than what I'm use too. It's got an unreliable narrator because it's a book being written in a book. Beckan is the girl who the book inside the book is being written about and I didn't know what had actually happened and what didn't. It was odd... Not really a super happy ending, kind of, I liked the fairy tale element I guess.

Really, the only good thing about this book is the cover. Beautiful, right? That's what sucked me in. Silly girl. That old adage exists for a reason 'cause this book's terrible. At least the first 129 pages are. I very rarely bail on a book, but I just couldn't take another paragraph. I'll keep it on my shelf, though, 'cause it sure is pretty!!

acc5446 it really is pretty! 8y

BekahB Yikes! I bought this one for the cover too! Haven't read it yet. I had high hopes for a bloody war between fairies and gnomes. I'll probably eventually pick it up and see how far I can get into it. I have a pretty low threshold for nonsense before I quit a book though 😆 8y

ImaginativeMom @BekahB Oh no! Maybe you'll like it? Different strokes, yeah? I think lots of people got pulled in by this pretty cover and to be fair, @Merethebookgal said the last 20% or so of the book was better. I just couldn't take it. 🙄 8y

I'm trying hard not to bail on this. Has anyone read it? I'm on page 129. Is it worth sticking it out? 🤔

Merethebookgal I didn't like it at all. The only reason I didn't bail right away was because it was for book club. The last...maybe 20% is a little better, but no one in my book club really liked it. I'd bail if you're not into it. 8y

ImaginativeMom @Merethebookgal Thanks! I hate to bail because I could finish and count it for #bookisholympics, but I'm not sure I could stand it. Maybe as a last resort. Appreciate the advice!!! 8y

I have a really hard time not finishing a book, but if this hadn't been my book club's pick, I wouldn't have finished it. It was really...weird. And not weird in a good way. Along with being weird it was pretty boring and hard to follow. The last 20% was better but didn't make up for it overall.
