Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books I Wish Had More Action.
This week was half freebie, where we got to choose what we wished had more/less of something. I picked action, I looking picking up a book and turning page after page because everything is happening. So here are a list of books that I wished had more action.
And I Darken by Kristen White: This was one of my favourite books that I read last year. But, many people didn’t like it and I understand why. It’s very character driven and there did need to be more action. Full Review
Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake: Much like And I Darken – this book is very character driven, but at times it really let it down and I was waiting for something big to happen. Full Review
Who’s Afraid Too? by Maria Lewis: I really enjoyed reading this one, but like I said in my review I needed a little more action. More at the edge of my seat – what is going to happen next. Full Review
Caraval by Stephanie Garber: This is one of those so/so books. The concept was interesting, I enjoyed the characters – but the payoff wasn’t the best. I think there needed to be a little more action at certain moments and more intensity. Full Review
The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles: I enjoyed reading this one, I didn’t love it. But, I did feel that there was action missing. It’s like it was off the edge of a cliff just handing – not going anywhere. Full review coming soon.
Long Way Home by Katie McGarry: Again another one that just needed a little push. There was action, plenty of it, it just needed that little bit more. Full Review
Heartless by Marissa Meyer: One of my most disappointed books that I read last year. It was slow, and nothing really happened until the last 50 of so pages. Full Review
Moon Chosen by P.C Cast: This is one of those books that I liked and disliked all at the same time. And one of the things I disliked was how character driven it was – plus it was way too long. Whole chapters could have bene removed and action added in. Full Review
Firewalker by Josephine Angeline: Now I really enjoyed this book, a lot. But, I felt that it is the weakest in the series. Especially the first half. I was left hanging for more. Full Review
The Crown’s Game by Evelyn Skye: This wasn’t my favourite book out there. I was just expected so much more and I got pretty waited and dresses. I was expected literally fighting to the death – and that happened sorta. Full Review.
And that is it for this week. Do you agree with any of the books that I have mentioned? Do you disagree? Let’s Chat!
