An excellent debut novel! I had heard so many great things about this book, but I could not imagine it was going to be so good. The path of the book is perfect; it's neither too slow nor too fast. It is just the way it should be, which does not happen a lot in books I'm reading. The plot is not to...

It's been a while since I read a book like this. I needed a break from constantly reading the same kind of romance storyline book after book.This one was intriguing. It took me a little while to get into it, but somehow, after a few chapters, I couldn't put it down anymore. It's interesting, a litt...

"Did the resistance attack?""I attacked,"Those last couple of chapters were intense. I was all over the place with emotions and I'm just so very glad that I only have to wait eight days (six now) to read the sequel! YAY FOR NOT HAVING TO WAIT VERY LONG!It took me a lot to get through the first part ...

I liked this book, but I'm not sure it deserved all the hype. While Laia was not a normal character in YA literature (finally, someone who's a little bit different,) but Elias is a fairly typical oblivious character who is rebelling against his government, who, unlike everyone around him, can see th...

Freedom is in short supply in the Empire.Laia watched her family be mercilessly murdered as her defiant brother was dragged to prison. No one escapes Martial prisons, but Laia is willing to do anything for the only family she has left. Apparently, everything includes accepting the dangerous, and doo...

After lots of looking I found an interesting dystopia! It's also technically fantasy too, which is probably the reason for its awesomeness. I wish this book was fresh enough in my mind to review properly. It's another unfinished series (I always say I'll wait until the series is done) but it was ...

I NEVER EVER had so much anger while reading a book. I had a hard time giving it a rating.. at first it was decision between 2 or 4 stars and I decided that it would be fair to give it a middle of it, so 3 stars. Ok, I will try to explain and be (as always) short. Why it was close to 4-star-book for...

I have just recently finished "An Ember in the Ashes" By Sabaa Tahir and it was absolutely amazing. I am not one to read a lot expect for my minimum reading assignment, but this book was so good I read almost all of it in one night! The book is unique because it switches between two characters every...

Two first person perspectives and I read the first chapter to see if it was just a deviation, but then I couldn’t stop. Not epic, but good. :) Reads kind of like a milder Red Rising or Hunger Games; definitely a school-based battle for supremacy that only one of the two main characters are involved ...
