Lindsay (1812 KP) rated Prophecy Revealed in Books

Feb 15, 2018

Daniel has work up and we find out where he is. He looking for safety for a while. He rests up he meet some of the Tenebreon. He needs to fine some allies so he can help defect the Emperor. He want to save his home town. Will he be able to do so.

What is the cost that Daniel will do to save his hometown. There a secret that will be reveal at the end of the book. A man that became governor has been doing some horrifying and his tied to Daniel. We learn more about his allies Tenebreon and some more about Daniel.

Daniel had crossed the Burning sea. What going on with resistance. There are twist and turns and more surprises then at ever page is turned. I would advise that your child or children be a bit mature for there are lots of deaths and killing. I would advise that is be for 13+ for those that are reading this book. Parents I would be sure it something want them reading. There is no swearing or minimal swearing in the book. It just has lots of deaths.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Wolves and Roses (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum book 1) in Books

Sep 15, 2018

I really enjoyed this book. It follows the story of Bryar Rose a human girl who should be following a Sleeping Beauty life template, however Bryar has different ideas.

This book is not a re telling of Sleeping Beauty it has lots of different elements that make the story unique. The story has quite a few secrets and mysteries which was good as the reveals were often a surprise. The story was quite fast paced which kept it engaging and the ending was not rushed.

I liked Bryar’s character as I found her a realistic teenage girl. She gets a bit boy crazy but not to the point that she loses her character. She likes to ignore/ put off some of her problems and pretend she is normal when things get a bit too crazy. I enjoyed seeing her friendship with Elle as it did show her more mature side.

This book is part of a series so most of Bryar’s story is resolved there is a novella and another book left of Bryar before we move onto Elle’s story. So I imagine the big storyline which effects other characters will still take a while to finish.

Natacha (374 KP) rated This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity, #1) in Books

I pick this book just after finishing “Shades of Magic” trilogy. I wanted to read more V.E Schwab and I like the premises of the story.

Things I like:
- The main idea of the book. Violence creates real and deadly monsters. I thought the was very unique.
-The idea of killing using something as beautiful as music create a beautiful was conflicted
-August is such a complex character. Was born from the worst act of violence, he very own nature is to kill humans that have committed crimes but his heart he just wants to be normal.
- How morally grey the whole story was and how it makes you reflect on how people think and act and how sometimes people do bad things for good reason and if they should or not being all punished in the same way.
- The relation between the two main characters. Their relationship grew in a nice and mature way.
-It does reflect some issue that we have in our society.

Things I didn’t like:
- Cliche school scene. Our two protagonists are teenagers and the beginning of the book start with a loot of overused scene.

Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated Prison Time in Books

Nov 6, 2019

Shaun Attwood: I wasn't expecting to appreciate a former inmate who used to abuse drugs and the freedom of women to his advantage. I never read the first two books, I didn't realise it was part of a trilogy. However, I do not think I missed anything to substantial that would make me confused in certain parts.
I loved his honesty and I loved that with the help of friendly inmates-as friendly as murderers can get on the inside-and Dr Owen he saw how his destructive life had brought him to prison. However, prison changed him, for the better. He became more mature and with the help of CBT realised he didn't need drugs to feel euphoric. Like me I too have an addictive personality just not with drugs nor alcohol. I am a Writer and I own two blogs. This keeps me going. Just like it kept Shaun going in prison.

Overall, I learnt not to mess with drugs, or watch women kiss one another-well-not an in addictive way :P
and get caught.
I will use my addictive personality into writing to the best of my abilities.
