About Kristalia

INFO



Hello, hello :D I go by the name Kristalia/Kris/Kristina and I am 21 years old and i love informatics. I started this blog on my own first, but then, i invited my precious Georgia with whom i share this blog about reviews.

I play games, i watch anime, i read manga, i am a digital artist and many more. But my fav obsession is reading books. I started reading them around 14, but i didn't read much.And then, i started wondering what would happen if i started reading High Fantasy books. And one of my friends suggested "Wheel of Time" series, and when i started reading it - i couldn't stop. I found out that i enjoy reading books and after i found about e-books it made my passion for reading go wild!

As for the reviews - at the beginning, i wrote them because it was fun and because i had to share my feelings with someone. But - these days - i figured out how much writing a review can make me remember about a book that i have read - the love i felt for characters and love i felt for the book itself. If i love the book very much, even if it has faults, i won't be harsh and - unless the mistake had been very obvious, but overall, i never plan to hurt anyone with my revs. I usually write revs for those above 3 stars and rarely for others, because i write those only if i was so excited for that book and it disappointed me so much, or was hyper about that series/book/novella. I am really really honest - and if i like an author and his/her book, i will read more from them - always.

I am also Kristalia on Goodreads (MY PRIMARY PROFILE) - where i am supported by my awesome friends - and i will post my reviews here as soon as possible.  

WHAT I READ?


I read almost everything:


  1. High/epic/dark fantasy 
  2. Dystopia/urban fantasy/science fiction/space opera
  3. Paranormal/supernatural romance
  4. Glbt (love comes in all forms)
  5. Contemporary romance/Historical romances/chick lit/drama - usually with tortured heroes or death or tragedy involved. 
  6. And everything that has tortured heroes.
  7. I ♥ tragedies - the bigger the tragedy, the bigger the impact on my soul - And everything that makes me cry or makes me emotional is a bingo!  
 What i rarely read:
  1. happy-go-lucky romances. stuff like crime/mystery/thriller oriented.
  2. stories which involve wars - be it Eastern wars, Middle East wars, I or II world wars.... you get the idea (Unless it's a high fantasy book). 
  3. I prefer series up to 5 books. Everything that goes up i seriously consider reading. Unless it's Sherrilyn Kenyon (40+books); Karina Halle, J.R. Ward, Larissa Ione or Robert Jordan

RATING SYSTEM

★★★- means that the book is fantastic, a masterpiece, that there are no plot holes, characters are beyond amazing,the story is exciting, heartbreaking or/and beautiful. It means it will forever be in my heart and i will never forget it.
★★★★- the book is amazing, i loved everything about it. I am probably in love with the characters, world building and story. It is highly recommended from me and i will probably read them over and over again.
★★★★☆- it probably missed just a tiny something, like...there was a plot hole, or something really "what the hell" happened and i didn't understand. But everything else is amazing.
★★★★- i liked this book a lot. I enjoyed reading it and will probably read it again in the future. It missed something - maybe the story needed more action/more interaction between characters/ less interactions....
★★★☆ - i was probably bored at some point of the book - but everything else is the same as 4 stars rating.
★★★- i was probably bored more than half of the book, forced myself to read, or it was just ok - already seen and nothing special.
★★- why did i even bother reading this? It's probably a book i read till the end if it is a sequel but failed to impress me or it was just terrible.
- avoid at all costs! Unable to finish, plain terrible, a bunch of nonsense.
- HORROR!!!!
