Read this month: September

Ugh. That basically sums up this month. School is back and so are the daily reminders of how much I hate leaving my bed. The hallways are an especially scary place for a girl who stands at 5 foot 1. You can probably guess that I haven't read all that much this month but in case you haven't this is your warning. Please don't be disappointed with me. I tried my best.

In this wrap up I reviewed: The 5th Wave. Heir of Fire, and Just One Night.

The 5th Wave by Rick Yaney

Overall rating: 90%

I really did enjoy this book. Cassie is witty and entertaining and I love the writing. I had a couple issues with this book but they were minor things. (I won't go into detail because of spoilers!) The plot is super duper interesting and the characters were all so different and intriguing. (I love love love Ringer, Teacup and Dumbo.) I do recommend that you pick up this book if you're ever in the mood for a dystopian. The next book in the series is called The Infinite Sea, it's being released on the 16th of September and I can't wait to pick it up!

Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

Overall rating: 100%

It was glorious guys.

Celaena becomes even more kickass than she was before. My emotions are everywhere. I'm practically running around with a butterfly net trying to get them all back. It's intense.

Just One Night by Gayle Forman

Overall rating: 76%

Novella's are never really worth 100% for me. So don't be upset. I did like how this was written though, from numerous POV's yet it was more of a stream of consciousnesses than actual points of view. It's good to know what happened after Just One Day but I would have preferred that this was a book in itself just so that we could learn about what happens to all the minor characters.

Yup. In an entire month all I read was 2 books and a novella. Sorry.

Heir of Fire review and discussion

All of the stars because Celaena rattles the stars. Spoiler free review Celaena returns bent and broken but damn she made a speedy recovery. We are introduced to new characters and new plots in this installment of the series. It was formidable. All of it. The writing was amazing, the character development was better than ever and the story is beyond words. I highly highly recommend every book in this series. Novellas and everything. I think it's safe to say that this is my favourite series of all time. I love it even more than The Infernal Devices trilogy. I'm so sorry Will but it's the truth. If I go into any detail at all it will spoil you so I'm just going to leave this hoping that you all get the message.

In The Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken Review+Discussion

★ ★ ★ I might say 3.5 stars instead. I haven't quite made up my mind about it yet. On it's own it was a good book, but as a conclusion to a wonderful trilogy I was not satisfied. The characters seemed to be going backwards in their character development at times. I also didn't like how some problems were resolved as well. I feel like if we got rid of some of the useless scenes in the beginning there would be more time to develop the ending and write an epilogue to clear all the political problems. This book also lacked in humor so if you start reading expecting to have a good time you are going to be disappointed. It really saddens me to have to write such a negative review when I had such high hopes for this conclusion.

The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater Review+Discussion

Loved the book, hated the ending, iffy on Stiefvater's writing style of suggesting things but never explaining or confirming. If she actually writes another trilogy about Ronan anytime soon maybe I'll pick it up. I can't really give an in depth review without spoiling anything as it's the fourth book so you'll just have to take my word on it. Four out of five stars? Spoilers under the cut!
