Honeycomb

"Thanks so much to NetGalley and Gallery Books, Gallery/Saga Press for letting me read and review this interesting and uniquely imaginative collection of fairy tales and folklore with lovely illustrations. This is a book that's one story thread that can be followed through the book with it branching off to other tales along the way to give more background stories to each character and everything else.<br/>The main story is about the Lacewing King that rules over the Silken Folk and also goes into stories about other characters that all interact with the Lacewing King and his story or live in the same world. The other tales woven into the story of the Lacewing King are intriguing as well like the story of the Spider Queen, the Harlequin, the Clockwork Princess, the Barefoot Princess, and the toymaker who wants to make the perfect wife to name a few. This is a fun, entertaining collection of dark fairy tales that can be a bit morbid at times, but also reading these tales transported me to this fantasy world and reminded me of the story of The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern.<br/>If you like the Grimm fairytales and dark tales as well as The Starless Sea, then you'll enjoy this collection of stories as well."

"I received an ARC from LibraryThing for an honest review. Because the book hasn’t come out yet, this will be a no spiloar review. <br/><br/>Rating: 3.5/5 <br/><br/>When Nat Boychuck, the gifted singer, Jess, her best friend; and Haper, another singer who wants to it make in the music industry. So, they enter to play at the Tall Grass Music Festival, but the bandmates almost never seem to agree about the music they want to play. Honeycomb is a glimpse of what musicians have to go through in hoping to make it big someday. <br/><br/>I had some trouble in what I was going to rate this book. I was going back and forward from 3 stars or 3.5 stars. I couldn’t decide because I did had some issues with the book. But I decide to stay with 3.5 because it did had a great opening, enough to have the reader interest into continue reading. <br/><br/>My main issue was the writing style. It was hard for me to follow, to be honest the voices of the characters were a bit annoying. I couldn’t relate to them at all. And for me is very important, otherwise it would be harder for the reader to follow up. <br/><br/>Though for the most part it did have a good plot story. Three girls forming a band does seem like fun to read. <br/><br/>"
