The Lost Path by Amélie Fléchais

I really appreciate the prose in fairy-tale style and the versatility of the author's ability at illustrating. Sadly, I injoyed the illustrations more than the story itself, I thoroughly enjoyed the first part, but when the style and theme changed, I felt confused and I also felt that it clashed with the previous part.
The premise sounded great and the illustrations are lovely, but I was expecting something different, more similar to the first part, which was much more akin to fairy tales.

Sharp: The Women Who Made an Art of Having an Opinion - Michelle Dean

The premise of this book sounded interesting -especially in the era of female empowerment we are living right now.  I found the selection of women to talk about perfect. However, the writing style was dry and that kept we wanting to pick up some other book, instead of getting my full attention. It felt like reading a textbook for school on a subject that interests me and bores me at the same time, because of the pacing.

What I did thoroughly enjoy was being inspired by the lives led by such powerful women. If you are looking for that, take a chance and you will surely get something out of it.
