Heartless by Marissa Meyer



Rating: 2/5
Summary:(x)

My Thoughts:
First off let me say this I love Marissa Meyer's book but I could not connect with this one at all. I probably will try to read this again to see if my rating changes at all. The plot was really interesting but the world and characters fell flat for me. I wish I could have enjoyed it more and actually not force my self to read it.

Plot:
What little of the plot written was not that great. I was not enthralled by the world or the plot It fell flat to me and it was a struggle to get through. Instead of not wanting to put the book down I struggled through it.

Characters:
I liked Catherine for the first half of the book but later I could not stand her. I liked Jest and he was the best character of the book. I could not stand the rest of the characters,

A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir

Rating:5/5
Summary: (x)

My thoughts:
This book lived up to the first one and was very good. This book did suffer from the sophomore slump like some second books do. It was a page turner that I could not put down.  I need the next book like now.  The characters were still great and made the story even better. The author is so good at world building and plot building.
Plot:
The plot as with the first book was fast paced and well written. There were plot twists and I did not see most of them coming. The author is so good at world building and describing the setting. Those descriptions added to the plot. I like how the story is split into three points of view.
Characters:
Laia is one of the best written characters in any books I have read.  I think she had the strongest point of view out of the three told. Elias is another great character I really like. His point of view was very interesting and I liked his character development. Helene, the other point of view, was very interesting and her point of view showed another side of the story.

Tune in by Mark Lewisohn (blogging for books)


Rating: 5/5
Summary: (x)

My Thoughts:
So this will be different from other reviews since this is a non fiction book. First off I am huge Beatles fan so this book was a really interesting read. I loved the way it chronicled the individual Beatles members early lives and their personal lives in the other parts of the book. The pictures included in the book were ones I had not seen before. This book was so good and gave me better insight into their early years and the early years of the band. It was a wonderful book that every Beatles fan should read.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by JK Rowling

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two (Harry Potter, #8)

Rating: 3/5
Summary: (x)
My Thoughts:
This book was not that great and I was really disappointed by it. I wish there was more to the story and that the story was not so far fetched. I felt this story did not add anything to the Harry Potter world and I do not think I want to see the play if I ever go to London.
Plot:
The plot was far fetched and not very well written. It was fast paced but I saw all the plot twists coming. The plot twists were not really plot twists
Characters:
The original trio was out of character for me. I did not like Albus nor Scorpius. The characters were not well written or good.

The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski


The Winner's Kiss (The Winner's Trilogy, #3)

Rating:5/5
Summary: (x)
My Thoughts:
First off I apologize for the month long hiatus. I have been so busy  with  finals and college. This book was so good and is a great ending to an amazing series. I was so worried that this book was going to be a bad end to the series but I was happy to say it was not. Kestrel was still a great character and I thought she had some really good character development. Arin was also a good character but there were some things he did that I did not like.
Plot:
The plot was very well thought out and fast paced. I did not feel like the plot dragged any and the loose ends from the other books were all wrapped up. There was not much filler plot or extra stuff that felt out of place in the book.
Characters:
Kestrel is still the best character in the book. Her character growth continued through out the book. Arin was also a good character and I liked him as usual. The supporting characters were good and added to the plot.
