June Wrap Up

In this wrap up I reviewed: A Court of Thorns and Roses, To Kill a Mockingbird, and End of Days

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas 

Overall ratting: 5 stars 

In this world the fae live beyond a magical wall and our main character Feyre lives in the town just before the wall. The only other thing separating her town and the faerie land is a forest where she hunts in in order to provide for her family. And on one unfortunate day she accidentally (but not so accidentally) kills a faerie disguised as a wolf. Demanding retribution, the wolf's faerie friend barges into her home and takes Feyre with him to live out the rest of her days in his mansion.

Sarah J. Maas kills it again. With wonderful characters, an intricate world and lovely writing. This book is all you could ask for. There are some slow parts but that in no way lessens my affections for this book. 



To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Overall ratting: 5 stars 

This was a wonderful and book to end the school year with. It takes place in the sleepy town of Maycomb during a recession in America. The story is told from the point of view of a six year old girl when a black man is put on trial for a nonexistent crime. It's filled with humor and lovely life lessons and I'm really glad we read this book rather than Lord of the Flies.








End of Days by Susan Ee

Overall ratting: 4 stars 

This is the finale of the Penryn and the End of Days trilogy. I feel like Susan Ee just lost inspiration after the second book. She still did an incredible job but the book felt like a never ending stream of battle scenes and nothing more. This trilogy was supposed to be a series of 5 books but I guess the author got bored. The ending could have been better but it was still a satisfying way to leave this series.

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.

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout review/discussion

 These books are really good to read over a longer period of time. I read a few pages every night before going to bed and it was the highlight of my day. I think that if you read it in one sitting you'll get way too annoyed with the characters and then you'll end up hating the book. Sooooo if you have yet to read these books (or if you tried reading them but just couldn't because of  hair pulling and book throwing  all the frustration it caused, I recommend taking on a new approach. Take baby steps. Don't bite off more than you can chew, if you will. Try reading it little by little. No spoilers section (I don't think anyone's reading this seeing as I am the last person on earth to read these books) Daemon earned serious brownie points in this book and Katy didn't even see it. HE BUYS HER A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE !!! I'd marry him right then and there. I found Katy and Dee's relationship lacking though. They addressed this issue near the end but it ...
