Jessica Cashen (1 KP) rated Ash Princess in Books

Superb read! Well written, with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This book has action, suspense, intrigue, and tension. Theo is the rightful Queen of Astrea and she is willing to do anything to take it back. Theo is gritty, clever, determined, ready to do whatever to help her friends and her people. There are several twists and turns, and the ending is amazing. Blaise, Soren, Cress, Artemesia, Heron I fell in love with all of them. I cannot wait for the second book in the series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

Alright - this book wasn't bad it was a bit confusing in the beginning, trying to be multiple things at once I felt, but then you get to know the book and the characters and it wasn't what I had originally thought going in. There was a grammar error that I absolutely hated "more faster" just killed the book for me more than it should have. Though I did enjoy reading it and some of the lines in there were hilarious, and Alosa and Riden were great, Enwin (sp) was awesome too. I just hoped for more I think I'd give it a 3.5 and I do plan to read Siren Queen

Amanlda is fast becoming queen of Ya adaptations
I throughly enjoyed this film. For the most part the cast is relatively unknown but it been proven in Dystopic ya books to film adaptions this works well.
With the hate u give coming out the end of the year Amandla Stenberg is proving to be a force to be recoken with within the YA film genre. She is able to captive and keep the film moving.
It rare to find a film that keep true to a books premise and plot however this film did just that.

Hazel (1853 KP) rated The Lady of Misrule in Books
Nov 24, 2018
The Lady of Misrule is a fictional account of Lady Jane Grey's incarceration in the Tower of London from the perspective of her companion, Elizabeth.
Suzannah Dunn emphasises Jane's innocence and the ludicrous reasons for her imprisonment. At a time when changes in religion were causing death and unrest, it was a crime merely to think a different way to the monarch, let alone be a "pretender" queen.
Despite the narrative, there was nothing the author could do to avoid its foregone conclusion. What is shocking, however, is the unexpected suddenness of the event, Jane's pious strength and the devastating shock felt by Elizabeth.
