Apparently this is a packaged book, which does make me nervous, but it just sounds SO AWESOME!! I have heard a few iffy things about it already, but I’m still holding out that I might really like it…
Also, THAT COVER! So great!
Ahhh, you always mention the most interesting books I’ve never heard of before. This one sounds so good.
I hope it actually is good! *nervous*
I love the title and how the image on the cover depicted it. Seriously dark and cool. I already saw one DNF review and I’m a bit worried about it, I think I’ll try and find a positive review first.
Thanks for sharing, Ashley! <33
Yeah I’m worried too. 🙁 Maybe we’ll both still like it!
A ballerina turns into a superhero. Well thats new. The cover is all kinds of awesome. Cool pick!
What’s a packaged book? And girlll, you didn’t get an ARC at BEA? I got an eARC from Edelweiss a couple of months ago – try there! 🙂
Check out my WoW post!
Book packaging is when a company comes up with an idea for a book that they think will sell well, then they hire a writer to write that book, then they sell the book to a publishing company.
The alternative would be an author being inspired, coming up with an idea on their own that they’re passionate about, writing the book, then finding an agent, and then selling the book to a publishing company.
I think a lot of packaged books don’t turn out great because an author writes the story, but it usually wasn’t their story to begin with, so maybe the book lacks that extra bit of passion that makes it good.
I actually did get a copy on Edelweiss. 🙂 Yay that you got one too!
Ohhh, that’s… interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever read a packaged book. This one will be my first. I hope you and I both enjoy it! I’ll keep an eye out for your rating/review 🙂
I LOVE this cover! Haven’t heard great things about it yet but this would be almost worth to have just for the cover alone. I have the ebook from Edelweiss, hope it’s good!
It does sound awesome! But what is a packaged book?
See my comment a few above in reply to Alyssa Susanna. 🙂
Oooh thanks haha. Never read such a book before I think. Hope for the best, because it sounds awesome and the cover is great!
Uhoh, I’m a bit worried about it being packaged… but I’ll try it anyway because it’s about a ballerina!
