Review: The Nine-Chambered Heart

The Nine-Chambered Heart: Free Sampler The Nine-Chambered Heart: Free Sampler by Janice Pariat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



View all my reviews



Beautifully written and absolutely acquisitive, The Nine Chambered Heart deals with exclusively vivid perspectives of 9 different characters who were in relation with the same women through her different phases of life. Our unnamed protagonist is mute throughout the story and you will never get to listen to her side of the same in this book, which makes you perceive that this could be your story or of someone you know!

The entire pace of the book is completely lyrical which is Janice Pariat's style of writing and is remarkable. There are no cliffhangers and plot twists  BUT BUT  as mentioned earlier the writing will make you fall for this simple and lucid story. You will meet various perspectives in this story and not a single character is named and all their lucid memories about this young woman. The way each character describes her is perfectly distinct from one another. For instance, some conceive her as extremely beautiful; something unreal while others her as moody. Some claim her as self-centered and the opposite as understanding. The way each chapter is named does justice to the respective characters. While going through her story you may not find everything in place and wish you could know something more about her. And this is how it goes because we can never get to know the entire somebody and we are more of what others perceive us. Plus, there was a gleaming difference you will find in our protagonist from the starting to the end.
Out of all 9, my favorite is The Saint one, because it deals with innocence of love and generous affection, which tells that all you need is a Lil care & support!

Review: The Shadows Between Us

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller My rating: 3 of 5 stars View all my reviews This is the story of a girl who doesn't want a prince charming or a king. She wants to be the queen and a kingdom to rule! The Shadows Between Us is a Slytherin Romance, tracing our morally dark protagonists Alessandra and The Shadow King, Kallias, and their journey to fall in love. Let's start with something beautiful. “They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.” For something claiming to be dark and morbid, this is pretty light. There are several areas of the book that is being touched from the surface and left as it is. For instance, our central characters, Alessandra and Kallias. Both of them are shown as dark & morally grey, but there is no justification given behind their behavior, their psychology. They are being simply shown it's the way both of them are. Coupled with t...

Review: Queen of Air and Darkness

Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare My rating: 5 of 5 stars The amount of pain this book has driven me through is immersive!!! Especially in the first part of the book. Where everything started falling apart, and later in the second part things started to get a little better, it started getting more and more worse. Out of 900 pages, only the last 100 pages were kind of relief and happy-happy moment, yet you are always scared because Cassie can do literally anything in the last 10 pages and be like "Oh I don't think it is such a big deal, ykr I can do worse?!" Also, the epilogue. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! I want an explanation of what is going to happen. This Jace from parallel dimension Thule, he's after Clary now. Gosh. My head is already breaking. There were many moments in this book, which made me sob like a maniac. The starting itself was so chaotic, with the death of Robert Lightwood, Livia Blackthorn. During the funera...

Review: City of Bones

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare My rating: 3 of 5 stars View all my reviews The first world in the mortal instruments series begins with 16-year-old Clary Fray comes across this group of Shadowhunters, part humans and part angels who kill the creatures from Downworld to main the harmony between the human world and the shadow world. Later hunting the riddles of her earlier life and about her mom, Jocelyn Fray who was also a Shadowhunter, running all her life to keep Clary away from the same world. The world-building by Cassandra Clare is absolutely fabulous and powerful enough to draw the attention of a reader, who gets to know about this Shadowhunters world. Especially for a Fantasy lover, no way he/she can keep himself/herself away from the sphere. There are Shadowhunters, there are Downworlders which includes Vampires, Werewolves, Warlocks, Faeries and so much more! And each one of them is bound to a certain kind of rule and way of l...
