From the Shadows I Review: ***Series Review*** Luxe by Anna Godbersen

My Ratings

1 star - Awful. I feel as though I have been tortured by an author who has had a bad day at the computer

2 stars - Pretty bad. I probably won't read the book again

3 stars- It's okay. It didn't capture me in the way I like but overall I enjoyed the book.

4 stars - Good. I enjoyed the book but it lacked something that would have made it special.

5 stars - Amazing. A rating I don't give often but when I do it means the book stands head and shoulders above all others for the same age group.

If I've given a book a .5 it means that my indecisiveness has won and I'm stuck between two ratings.

Series Review Luxe by Anna Godbersen

Pros

Beautiful covers
Set in an interesting time period
Not thought provoking (so if you just want to escape this is your book)
Well thought out synopsises
Great for mental imagery

Cons

Not very engaging
Characters aren’t likeable
There isn’t much depth
The endings are maddening
The stories can get a bit farfetched

Best Book: The Luxe

Worst Book: Envy

Overall Rating

2 stars – not a series I enjoyed as an adult but I think that teens will thoroughly enjoy the stories and the romance of it. I can say that because as a teen I actually devoured the first three books and would’ve the last if I hadn’t got ill. It’s not a series of books that I’d recommend to anyone, I think it would be a tad hypocritical of me considering that I didn’t like them. I think we’ve all gathered that from my reviews though.
