Hey, look at who's alive! And with another book review as well! Amazing.
Well, this is a review for the first book in the Lioness Rampant Chronicles, by Tamora Pierce, which is another beloved book series of mine. It, like the Transformers Universe, helped me through some tough times that would have normally left me depressed.
...I have a feeling without my robots and books I would have been a sad sad little child.
Yo, guess who's still kicking! I'm actually alive, amazingly enough. I got rather hung up with finding a job though, found one, and became totally consumed in the process of moving. :l Not to mention changing address, hoping I qualify for food stamps and medicare/cal and the like is totally consuming my time and energy.
So, basically, I've been super busy and have had no time for booklikes. Forgive me, but sadly I'm only human.
I've read so many books, it's sort of ridiculous. Right now I'm attempting to find all of them and put them on my shelves, and then go through them all and give them the reviews they deserve.
I'll reread any that I can't remember 100%, but that's the problem: all the ones that I remember are my absolute favorites that I've reread a gazillion times. It's going to take forever to re-find some books that were less than stellar among all the (many) others that I adore. Such as the Redwall series, written by Brian Jacques.
So many fond memories...
But what I'm trying to say is sorry for all the spam on your dashboard from me finding all those books.
My bad.
I just can't seem to connect with Corinne , maybe its because I do not experience her grief but I just don't feel a connection with her. And all this magic voodoo stuff , and this aura thing is just meh and boring.
I don't know I'll continue with this because there is Rennick, this cute guy ;)
And besides its still tolerable , its not those books you feel like throwing across the room because of your frustration. NO, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
I liked it. At the first part, it was an exciting read for me as I flipped through the pages to learn more about Chris and Becca. (Mild spoiler ahead )
In the middle part though, I was still interested to know what happened but my excitement had dampened. Idk but I find Beth somehow irritating, and her beginnings with Hunter didn’t go well for me. I mean, she liked Hunter but got jealous of Chris talking to a girl. Like whaat ? She was happy with Hunter but she was pining to Chris at the same time ??
Also, I think that Becca and Chris getting together was just due to their situations. If Hunter wasn’t a Fifth , Becca would have ended with him . I really didn’t feel the connection between Becca and Chris. If more so, Hunter was the one who have a stronger relationship with her. LIKE COME ON HE SPENT THE NIGHT COMFORTING HER LIKE THAT’S NOT GONNA MEAN SOMETHING. That’s just some problems I felt in the book.
But the good points are that the writing was very detailed and I like her style of writing. Also, I like that Becca wasn’t a timid girl who doesn’t have a backbone but I liked that she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and take on the Merrick brothers. I mean that girl can throw a mean punch .
Although she had a sad past, it didn’t really didn’t turn her into an emotional girl who sulked off in the corner. And Quinn, I feel that her character should have been developed more. Gabriel was mentioned quite often in the book, and even though he seems reckless and dangerous , I find that he's just confused and lost because of his parents death. Also, I was taken aback because in Elementals, his parents are still alive and well, the relationship between him and Michael weren’t that hostile. I was taken aback by the sudden setting. So, I was shocked to see him and Michael bickering.
Overall, I still enjoyed it and would still continue to pick up the series. I can’t wait for Gabriel’s POV, he’s one intriguing character.
