  • 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.

  • The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

    The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

    World: Panem

    Author: Suzanne Collins

    Prequel to The Hunger Games

    Listen to it: Book Chat with Me

    For the book review of The Hunger Games, check out that link you just passed, back, there you go, that one. 🙂

    Now, let’s get this party started, beginning as usual (almost usual) with my thoughts as I read the book. It was not easy to stop and jot down some thoughts while reading this one, especially because it was my first time reading on my phone, on Amazon Kindle, but I made it work, and the note thing on Kindle made it much easier. Though I was saving up ‘quotes’ too, so bear with me.

  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market: Learn About Loss

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: Learn About Loss

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Kelly Link

    This one is also super short, but it was a really good story too.

    I don’t think there was one that I didn’t like in this compilation.

  • Chain of Gold

    Chain of Gold

    Author: Cassandra Clare

    Series: The Last Hours

    Some Families: Herondale, Carstairs, Lightwood, Fairchild, Blackthorn

    There is so much to say, and I better give it to you straight and without delay, this is mostly my thoughts while reading, immediately after, or right in the middle of things, so pardon my scattered ramblings, but it had to be like this.

  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Lost World

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Lost World

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Authors: Cassie Clare 

    Genre: Pain, YA, more sorrow

    Some of these reviews are way quicker than others, not only because they are short stories but also because I was not entirely stopping on all of them to jot down my thoughts, so things slip a bit out of my grasp when I actually write the review but be advised there might be some spoilers here, for those who don’t know much about the Shadow World. There are way too many books on it (which is great), and I’m grateful that I have read most of them. The Eldest Curses is the only big one that I’m missing right now.

  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Land I Lost

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Land I Lost

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Series: Shadowhunters. Shadow World

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Is going to be short, but I wanted to relay just how amazingly good it was, that even after reading all the Shadow World books there is still room for the little stories, and we will still love them all as if they were part of a series.

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: Every Exquisite Thing

    Author: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    From: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Genre: Fantasy, Supernatural, Drama

    I’ll be quick with this one, though I have a few pointed comments. Spoilers might be included if you have not read any of the Shadowhunter books or the TID trilogy.

  • His Dark Materials Trilogy

    His Dark Materials Trilogy

    Books: Northern Lights. The Subtle Knife. The Amber Spyglass

    Author: Philip Pullman

    Genre: Fantasy, High Fantasy, Science Fantasy

    So Fantasy, yes.

    I read these books a long time ago so bear with me.

    The main thing I always remember about His Dark Materials books is that I found them utterly fascinating and I could not stop reading after finishing the first one, the second and third had to be read and they were far more exciting than the Northern Lights. I’m not going to go into it book by book but probably jump around between the three, I hope you are ready.
