  • Queen of Air and Darkness

    Queen of Air and Darkness

    Author: Cassandra Clare

    The Dark Artifices #3

    Genre: YA, Supernatural, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Crying, Throwing the book across the room

    This is not going to be easy, and I do not think it is going to be really short.

    Last night I finished Queen of Air and Darkness (QOAAD from now on), if I had read it in December when it came out it would have been the Best Read of 2018, alas, it was not, it is the Best Read of 2019 so far, and unless The Red Scrolls of Magic is something incredibly amazing and even more epic, it will stay the best book, because Cassie Clare did it again, she went a step forward, she makes you want to be inside the book, inside the Shadow World, be part of a family, be part of a world that you only know through words on paper, it was awesome.

    Fictional Characters we Wish for on Valentine’s Day

    Hello, readers. Since everyone loves talking about Valentine’s and all of that, I thought it best to dedicated a little time to all the guys we actually want on this day, stop pretending everyone, you want this and nothing else because this is the real deal and they all have something we want.

    Alright so I said we, but you know how this one is going to go and if you read a previous post about Male Characters here on the blog, then you truly know what is coming next and who I am going to mention.

  • The Darkest Star

    The Darkest Star

    Origin Series

    Author: Jennifer Armentrout

    Genres: YA. Fantasy. Romance. Totally F*ing Awesome

    This is not going to be easy. Also this is going to be so incredibly full of my really inner thoughts. Get ready.

    And then I was done. Wow. The last chapter was pretty normal, but before that everything was really heated. I will try to keep the spoilers to a minimum because I want you guys to read it without knowing the main events. However since the first chapters I have been stopping and writing little notes about the moments that got to me.

  • The Bane Chronicles: What Really Happened in Peru

    The Bane Chronicles: What Really Happened in Peru

    The Bane Chronicles 

    Authors: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan

    Illustrator: Cassandra Jean

    Genres: YA. Fantasy

    How do you write a review about a book this size without losing some of its charm on the way? I do not know, so I decided to do it story by story, because I can and because every story in The Bane Chronicles deserves to have a little piece here.

  • Fitzwillian Darcy, Gentleman

    Fitzwillian Darcy, Gentleman

    Author: Pamela Aidan
    Trilogy: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman

    Retelling? Yes. A Retelling of Pride and Prejudice

    Hello, dearies! 📚

    I hate doing this, but I have to because you must know what it is like to read it, to have expectations about a book or books and then be disappointed, because by the end of this trilogy I was very disappointed.

    Let us begin.

  • The Lunar Chronicles 2: Scarlet

    The Lunar Chronicles 2: Scarlet

    Book Series: The Lunar Chronicles 2

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Genres: Young-Adult, Futuristic, Re-telling, Sci-fi

    Recommendation: 4.5 ⭐

    Page count: 454 pages, Hardcover

    I liked it, a lot, I think more than Cinder, however for letting us hanging at the beginning in such a way, we wanted more of Kai and Cinder, and instead were greeted by a stranger, for that and for not grasping my attention as I know it should have been grasped, because of it, 4.5 of 5.

    Now my thoughts on the whole thing, you will be surprised by how much I liked it.

  • Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy

    Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy

    Authors: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Ress Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Robin Wasserman

    Genre: Short Stories, Fantasy, Young Adult

    There are so many moments in this one, I will try to be organised and direct.

    If you have not read any of the books in the Shadow World, specially The Mortal Instruments, then I seriously recommend that you first read those and then this one, and if you do not know what this one is about or who is the main character, then please stop reading this, because it contains spoilers for those who are new to the Shadowhunters world. That said, welcome and I hope you share my thoughts on this one.

  • Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

    Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

    Author: Jack Thorne

    Story by: J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne

    This is not going to be easy. Stories from the past might blend in. Tales of old might be thrown in here. If you read it, you surely loved it, if you saw the play, you surely loved every part of it.

    I cannot believe I did not write about this one before, my lack of Harry Potter reviews in the blog is by no means something you should worry about, nor something that should make you think that I do not love the books and movies because I do but the Wizarding World is simply to wide and amazing, and across all my networks, Pinterest specially, you can tell just how much it is that I love it after all this time. Let us begin.

  • The Fiercest Joy

    The Fiercest Joy

    Author: Shana Abé

    Genres: Fantasy. Drama. Dragons.

    Book 3 in The Sweetest Dark Trilogy. And book 8 in the Drakon world. Probably the numbers will change if Shana decides to write extra books about this story, this wonderful world she has created cannot be described in mundane words, it is too wonderful and so full of magic but I will do my best to convince you.

    If you have read my previous post about these series (The Sweetest Dark) then you might be prepared for what it is coming now. It is all about the magic, and the drakon; it might be short but it will be sincere. Here it is.

  • The Hunger Games Trilogy – Review

    The Hunger Games Trilogy – Review

    Author: Suzanne Collins

    Genres: Dystopia. Drama. Young Adult. Romance (or something like it).

    Books: The Hunger Games. Catching Fire. Mockingjay.

    Well it took me about 5 to 6 years to read them but here I am, and I am done with all of them, I think I broke my own personal record with this one, I read all three books in two weeks give or take. Maybe you are saying that is not fast but between work and life, it is fast.

    I really did not have any intention of reading them anytime soon but for some reason, re-watching The Hunger Games movies made me want to read, I picked them up and started with the first line that I already knew, and then got past it, the weird first-person narrative. And then I couldn’t stop, I knew the whole story but it was an easy read, and it was good to read something as if for the second time; since I really like the movies I didn’t know how I would feel with the books.

    I cannot really say which I like best, so I will leave it at: they are both good.
