Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

"It's always nice to being wanted.  Even if it's by the wrong person." -Tabitha Suzuma

This is the story of a boy and a girl who fall in love. Lochan and Maya are best friends who have known each other their entire lives and have helped each other and fiercely loved one another through the many brutally painful experiences of growing up.
The thing is, they also happen to be brother and sister, and the unholy mess of the repercussions from their choices looms over this entire story.

The relationship between Maya and Lochan is complicated from the beginning. In my words, here’s how I see it: There’s a line between brothers and sisters. You can tell to each other your most intimate secrets, share a room, even sleep in the same bed for fear of nightmares; each other the half of a whole. But you never become more, because of that line. That label that says Brother/Sister. And that’s okay.

This may all sound so disgusting but I never felt repulsed during the book, and I think this is what made it Amazing. Tabitha Suzuma managed to make their love relationship seem so right and not once did I forget they were brother and sister. It wasn’t like “OMG! I had totally forgotten they were siblings!” No, I was conscious always of what they were and it never felt wrong.

By the ending my heart was beating so hard I thought it would just burst out of my chest, and in the last page it just stopped. I can feel that hollow. My shaking hands. And the amazingness of it all.

Obviously, many will disagree. Some will see this as the tragedy of neglect and abuse. Or a thought-provoking challenge to the parameters we put around “acceptable” love. Or a heartbreaking examination of society failing its young people. Or just a love story. There are plenty of excellent reviews that discuss these interpretations.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

“The gods rule us still. They have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind.” - Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen

17-year-old Mare is waiting for the day when she is conscripted into the army the same way her older brothers were before her. She knows that her conscription is inevitable, even while she doesn’t want to fight a war for the Silver-bloods.

When her best friend loses his job and is also headed for the army, she knows that she has to do something to save the both of them.
Can Mare really save herself from conscription? Or are there worse fates in store for her?

This was an okay story, but I lost interest.

This one took some time for me to really get into and enjoy. I think there was a lot of build up from friends who OMG LOVED IT. My expectations were really high and the story lacked a spark that I was looking for. 

I have so many mixed feelings about this book. This story has been so over-hyped lately so I was expecting this book to easily become one of my new favorites and it was just okay. This book was really difficult for me to get into, it was very slow in the beginning and for the first 100 pages I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to get into it. 

I  love a great romance as much as the next girl (in fact romances are my favorite!) but I guess I just don't like them as much in this type of novel. Maybe it's because the romance aspect feels teeny boppy and immature since the protagonist changes her mind so often about who she may or may not love? It boggles my mind how easily they fall in and out of love. I just don't get it. 

The ending to this was again, predictable, and slow. I was glad about certain aspects, but I still had trouble staying focused. I’m not sure if I want to read the next book in the series. But there was also some great storytelling to keep me interested in a second book. I don't really know.

 I can understand why people love it and I get the appeal, but it was a miss for me.
