Legend of Me Reviews
Although this book grabbed my attention right at the start, about halfway through it started to feel clunky and forced. It was almost like the writer started off strong and then rushed to complete the second half. ...
I had such high hopes for this story. The cover is gorgeous, I generally enjoy books from this publisher, and the premise sounded really good. It's kind of a paranormal twist on Little Red Riding Hood. However, as I read I found it to be trite in places where I felt it should be more s...
I cannot wait to read this. ...
My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!! ***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! The cover is pretty, but it doesn?t really let you kn...
4.5 Stars 'Legend of Me' is a fantastic new young adult fantasy novel that will leave readers breathless and wanting more. I'm happy to say that I ended up loving this book a lot more than I had anticipated. Pretty much every aspect of the story is great - just one little detail had...
This book was beyond what i thought it would be! I was looking for a fairytale (which in its own way it was) but man it blew me away! The twists were absolutely perfect and I will highly recommend this book to a lot of people. One of my fave reads so far this year! ...
This was a decent story that incorporated darkness with innocence. A few things were off with the story and I did find myself skimming ahead when things slowed down but then finding the story too fast in other parts. ...
What a title. ...
I was drawn into this book immediately! Rebekah Purdy's talent with words is magical. The story moved quickly with wonderful characters and scenes that came alive in my imagination. She didn't waste words over-describing (truly appreciated!) but gave just enough to let my mind create t...
Legend of Me is a novel that puts a twist to the classic tale, Little Red Riding Hood. The secrets are deep and the beast is real. The story follows a girl by the name of Brielle, who lives with her grandmother on the outskirts of a small village. A village that is getting stalked b...
It was okay. A bit too dramatic, not very realistic and reminded me of a really, really long fairy tale. ...
First of all the cover sucks How about a grotesque picture of some beast Disney image thinly disguised as a female-led action adventure. A story where a girl is meant to be fighting evil as a hero can?t have said girl wear a dress that?s meant to stifle all freedom. Magic! A...
Legend of Me by Rebekah L. Purdy is a twist on a beloved fairy tale. The prologue grabbed me with shock and fright and built my interest in the book, even more than the synopsis already had. Brielle lives with her grandmother, who?s a healer and is training Brielle to be a healer a...
Whoops forgot to update, my stop on the tour and review is here! http://karinysteenbooxfrenz.blogspot.... ...
You can find my review of this book on Happy Indulgence, over here! Legend of Me and I had a rocky start. The writing was easy enough to get into and I ended up getting into the story, but there were small details that really hindered my enjoyment of the book. All in all, it was a d...
Star Rating: 3.5 out of 5 The only reason that this book did not get a solid 4 stars is because the first half of the book took a little long to really get going. Honestly, it almost seemed like the first half and the second half could have had been two different books. The book rev...
This was a very good read. I felt attached the main character and the story, from very early on, which kept me really intrigued in the book, from start to finish. The author truly wrote and original story of fairytale magic, that brings to life all those magical feelings and intrigue w...
From the very beginning of this story, I was hooked! It starts off with this mysterious Beast that is tragically targeting villagers who venture off into the woods. The writing immediately captures you in and creates a world that reminds me of Red Riding Hood spun into an awesome ...
This adventure fantasy was really great, with a creative style and characters with a lot of depth and personality. ...
Legend of me is an original fairytale. It has the magic, the legend, the fantasy and the romance to awaken the inner beast. I loved every minute of this story. Some books you can tell are going to be good from the first page and I was addicted to every word. I didn't want to put this d...
Legend of Me was a great read. I was drawn into Brielle?s world quickly and read the book in less than a day. It was impossible to put down! I had never read anything like it, and the visions gave a new perspective to the story. When I first read the description for Legend of Me, ...
2,5 ? mainly because of the weird love triangle and because she chose the one I didn?t like at all. 2,5 ?? mainly because of the weird love triangle and because she chose the one I didn?t like at all. ...more ...
?All around me were pieces of his body, scattered like breadcrumbs. I shielded my eyes with my hands, until I bumped into something else. With another scream, I whipped around only to find myself faced with an oak tree covered in dried blood and claw marks. My vision darkened and...
I enjoyed this fantasy! I was immediately drawn to Brielle, and thought this book was entertaining and well written. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own ...
I was so annoyed by the main character. She ruined it for me. I hated that she was made into the nice and virtuous one but was just as selfish as her "enemy", Sarah. And why was she the center of THREE men?s world?? It was so annoying and infuriating to witness her playing with those...
I really enjoyed this retelling of a classic fairytale! The twists and brutality of the story gave it so much life. My only issues were that some parts did not make sense and there were obvious grammatical issues. I received an ARC for my honest review ...
For those that love the classic fairy-tales but are tired of predictable plot twists, here is your next read! This twisted tale is familiar enough to be cozy, but different enough that you won't get bored or have that "I've read this same book a thousand times" sense of deja-vu. Pu...
As I Started Reading This Beautiful Prosed Story I Honestly Had No Idea What To Expect As I Had Never Read Any Of Miss Purdy's Previous Books. Without Giving Much Away, This Is The Story Of Brielle Heale, She Is An Apprentice And The Granddaughter Of A Good Witch. She Suffers From ...- At the start of reading this, I got the little red riding hood vibe. A young girl living with her grandmother in a cabin, out in the woods. And then let's throw in some murders of people having been ripped to shreds. There's the girl and her best friend, a handsome wanderer, an evil tw...
- I just couldn't put this book down!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed reading every part of it, and now I can't stop thinking about it .It has the perfect plot twist that completely shocked me .Great romance and mysterious events that perfectly fit together. The scenes and characters are so vi...
