  • The Idhun Chronicles Part 2

    The Idhun Chronicles Part 2

    Where? Netflix.

    Based on a Book? Yes.

    For the review of the books, you can go here: Idhun’s Memories. 📙

    Hello, dearies! It’s August of 2021, as in we are past the mid-year mark, as we are almost looking at Autumn in the eye, and I finally watched the second part of The Idhun Chronicles, I know it took me some time, but I already knew what it was about and where it was headed knowing the end of the book and all, and knowing that there are no more seasons or parts or nothing, so I was taking my time, and I had a lot of work, now I am a free bird, and can do other things.

    I am not sure if you watched the first part of these cool animated series, but you probably should. It’s on Netflix, and you can read my review here:

  • The Last Star

    The Last Star

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Trilogy: The 5th Wave

    Author: Rick Yancey

    Genre: YA, Science Fiction, Dystopia, Post Apocalyptic, Aliens

    Page count: 338 pages, Hardcover

    📖

    I gave it 4 stars out of consideration, and I didn’t want to put 3.

    I don’t enjoy writing bad reviews, or what some might count as bad or not perfect-I-loved-everything-about-it or even hey-you-should-read-this-is-a-must-read. I like recommending books that I enjoyed, but then the endings come, and they’re so, what the frack is this?

    That’s kind of how I felt all the way through the last chapters of The Last Star. Up until the last chapter, I had hopes, the hope that it would end differently, but it didn’t.

    Let’s get this party started. First, I have some commentary on some of the chapters, then it comes the final review, and if you haven’t read my previous reviews on these books, you can check them out before reading this one:

    The 5th Wave Review
    The Infinite Sea Review

    Though you might find them a little different from this one, and they were written a long time ago.

    Alright, so the warning, Spoilers ahead! Like there are Spoilers if you haven’t read The Last Star. You have been properly warned.

  • About La Emperatriz de los Etereos

    About La Emperatriz de los Etereos

    Author: Laura Gallego

    Original Title: La Emperatriz de los Etéreos

    Book Translations

    Hello, dearies!

    I was going through my list of books I have read and found I haven’t told you about this one here in the blog. The Empress of the Ethereal is a Spanish book by my fav Spanish author, in fact, I think is the only Spanish author that I like, I love her books, specially The Idhún Chronicles, as you might know since I have multiple entries about it.

  • 5 eBooks that You didn’t know Existed

    5 eBooks that You didn’t know Existed

    Probably.

    Hello, dearies! As I mentioned before, Smashwords is having a week of deals for eBooks, you can find from 25% to 100% off so don’t be afraid to stop by it and take a look at the authors there, some like myself are self-published, and it’s a great place to let your stories be known.

    Now, I found these titles that I think might be of interest to you, well, I thought that I could add them to my never-ending TBR list but that’s me. Check them out. (If you want any, you can click on the title for it and you’ll be directed to the site).

  • Confessions of a Shopaholic [Book Review]

    Confessions of a Shopaholic [Book Review]

    Author: Sophie Kinsella

    ⭐⭐⭐

    Genre: Women’s Fiction, Chick Lit, Humor, Romance

    That was not what I was expecting one bit. This is what happens when you read a book after you have watched the movie so many times that you almost now the dialogues of it. 

    But this does not mean I didn’t enjoy Confessions of a Shopaholic. I quite liked this book if not loved it. It made me laugh and seeing how Rebecca Bloomwood made excuses after excuses to buy anything was unbelievable. I suppose that is really how a shopaholic would be. 

    Some spoilers might be ahead, be wary.

  • Izzy Lightwood

    Izzy Lightwood

    Total Badass chick and Shadowhunter warrior.

    Names: Isabelle Lightwood. Izzy. Iz. 

    Book? More like bookS: The Mortal Instruments. Other Shadowhunter Novels.

    Will not talk about Emeurade Toubia, awesome girl who portrayed her on Shadowhunters TV, mostly because Izzy’s story on the show was so completely weird, and twisted at various points, they changed the character.

    But in the books? Warrior. A great role-model. Funny. Compassionate. Passionate. Hot. I mean, Izzy is one of the first characters you fall for in the books, even before, Alec and Jace, or Clary, who I didn’t like very much at first.

  • Jack

    Jack

    Hello, dearies!

    This is Sela here, and I’m giving in, I’m dedicating one to Jack from The Idhun Chronicles because when I re-read Pantheon (the third book), I realized that he had his moments. 

    And I have been asked about Victoria and Kirtash, and Jack, though I am not going to answer that spoiler-full question, but I am going to talk about Jack and some important facts from the books, so you might as well stop right now if you don’t want to know like this is my warning that there are spoilers ahead. 👀

  • About Christopher Herondale

    About Christopher Herondale

    World: Shadowhunters

    Books: The Dark Artifices, Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Alright, I am going to do it. I have to do it. If you do not know who Christopher Herondale is, then by all means either do not read this one or read away because you want some Spoiler from The Dark Artifices and The Lost Herondale legend.

    Spoilers ahead.

  • Stars Above – 1.5 and 3.1

    Stars Above – 1.5 and 3.1

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    This one will be short and sweet, just wanted to showcase these 2 stories in the Stars Above compilation.

    This may contain spoilers for those who had not read any of The Lunar Chronicles books. Beware.

    The Queen’s Army (The Lunar Chronicles #1.5)

    While I love these books, there is also something very savage about the Lunar stories. Worst of them all is seeing what children in Luna go through, like with this one and what Ze’ev had to face.

  • The Lunar Chronicles 4: Winter ❄️

    The Lunar Chronicles 4: Winter ❄️

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Genre: Sci-fi, fantasy, romance (sort of), YA, Dystopia, Retellings

    I think this is going to take a little while to come together. 

    After all the scary moments, all the times I said, this is it, this is where she kills them, her, him, one of them is going to be left alone and wandering without love, then another of my fav would come into the scene and there I was again thinking the same, what a rollercoaster.

    It doesn’t usually happen that I find a book to have me gaping, almost screaming, nearly crying, laughing, insulting the characters, but the best ones do, or at least does that make you go in and be part of the story for real, feel all that they are feeling, intense, magical, heartwarming, all those little things we feel while reading Winter.
