Update and a Mini Review for "To Kill A Kingdom"

Hey guys! I know it's been a month since I last posted. I didn't realize it's been that long, lol! I haven't been reading as much because I've been busy working two jobs. I wanted to let you know that I am still reading. I recently dnf-ed a book and didn't want to write a review for it because I only write reviews for books that I've fully completed. Anyway, the book I didn't finish was "War Storm" by Victoria Aveyard. I love the "Red Queen" series but this book was hard for me to get through and I spoiled myself by reading reviews, and I found out this book wasn't worth finishing. Spoilers!!
It has a really stupid ending. I got about halfway through the book when I saw the spoilers and they were so bad, I decided I didn't want to waste my time reading this big, boring book so I officially put it down. If you don't wanna get spoiled please go down to the next paragraph. Basically, "War Storm" has no official ending, it's basically open-ended and I hate books like that! Nothing was resolved, a favorite character of mine dies and my favorite couple doesn't even end up together! I was so mad and I'm warning you not to read "War Storm" because you will be disappointed with the ending and don't waste your time reading that huge book because there's no ending. 

Anyway, let me update you on the last book I read. So I just recently finished "To Kill A Kingdom" by Alexandra Christo. It was pretty good, I gave it 4/5 Lily Pads. I really don't feel like writing a full review for it because I don't have much to say about it. So I'm going to give you a quick review here right now. 

So I really enjoyed the book. It was a good, dark, retelling of "The Little Mermaid" with sirens in it. I love any books with mermaids and sirens and this book didn't disappoint me. At first I wasn't a huge fan of the main characters but after awhile they grew on me. I liked the setting too. The reason why I knocked down a rating is just because it wasn't amazing to me. I wasn't blown away by it but it was still a good, fun book. So yeah, overall, it was a pretty good book and you should read it if you love siren books. Like I said before, I don't have much to say about it so I'm gonna end my review here. 

So that was my little update and review. I'm planning on reading "Spindle Fire" by Lexa Hillyer next because I really wanna read it but also because I checked it out from my library and I need to read it before it's due. Thank you for reading this update and stay tuned for more posts. Have a great day and happy reading! :)

Introduction

Hey there, I am back with a new review! Today I am reviewing a sequel to an amazing book I read years ago. That book is "Rogue" which is the sequel to "Talon" written by one of my favorite authors. This was an amazing sequel! This is going to be a quick review since this is the second book in a series, and my reviews are spoiler-free so there's not much I can about this book without spoiling you. Let's get on to the review. 

Plot-5/5

I'll admit that this book doesn't have much of a plot. It's basically just about the main protagonist, Ember running away from the government and they are trying to get her back. I love this series so much so I had to give the plot a perfect rating. Also, this series has dragons in it, so how could I not give it a high rating. 

Writing-5/5

Julie is one of my top favorite authors. I love her writing! She's just an amazing writer and storyteller. 

Pacing-5/5

The pacing is the reason why I loved this sequel so much! This book literally had non-stop action on every page. Pretty much every page they were either running away or fighting someone and it was awesome! I couldn't put this book down and this book always kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. There was never a dull moment in this book. I was captivated by every page. I was also home from work most of the week because I injured both of my knees. So I was able to fly through this book in four days which is good for me because I'm a slow reader.  

Cover-5/5

I love all of the covers in this series. They are just so cool! All of her books have amazing covers so I'm probably just biased, lol. 

Characters-5/5

Julie has an amazing talent at making you love all of her characters. The characters in this series are awesome! Also, this book is written in multiple pov's so you really get attached to the characters. I love Ember, she is such a kick butt character. I also love Garret so much! He is such a nice guy and I am Team Garret all the way, since the first book. I just think him and Ember are meant for each other. I do like Riley though, he's a great character too. I see him as just a friend to Ember even though most people like him more than Garret. As for Dante, I like him but I don't know what his motives are. Is he supposed to be good or bad? I think I like him just because he's Ember's brother. 

Overall Thoughts

This book was absolute perfection. Every single book I read from Julie, I love. It's just not possible for me to hate her books. Overall, this was an amazing sequel. I read the first book years ago so I don't really remember it that much, but I think I like this book better. However, I hated the ending of this book so I'm a little worried about the third book, but I also can't wait to read it. I need to know what happens next. If you love dragons and haven't read this series yet, what are you waiting for? This series is so cool and unique, you have to give it a try. Also, I really recommend her "Iron Fey" series. That's one of my favorite series so you should read it too. Anyway, that was my review. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this review. I really appreciate it. Have a great day and happy reading! :)

Introduction

Hey guys! I feel like I haven't posted in weeks. I've been busy the past month because I just got a new job at Barnes & Noble and I love it! So since I'm working two jobs right now, I don't have as much time to read. I'm getting out of my reading slump and I want to read more again. So this review is going to be a quick one because I don't have much to say about this book since it's a sequel. Let's get on to the review!

Plot-5/5

The plot for this book was pretty good.

Writing-5/5

I really enjoy the author's writing. 

Pacing-5/5

The pacing was awesome. The book kept me interested the whole time and it was never boring. 

Cover-4/5

I like this cover better than the first book but I don't love these covers. 

Characters-5/5

I still love the characters in this series. They are wonderful and I love them so much!

Overall Thoughts

Overall, this was a great sequel but I didn't love it as much as the first book which is why I gave it 4/5 Lily Pads. I still really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for the third book when it comes out next year. If you haven't read this series yet you should because it's really good and underrated. So yeah that was my short, quick review. I apologize for making this review short but I don't have much to say about this book. Thank you so much if your reading this review. Also I just read "The Darkest Part of the Forest" by Holly Black but I didn't finish it so that's another reason why I haven't posted in a while. So yeah, I will be starting a new book soon so stay tuned for more posts coming soon. Like I said before, I'm working more hours now so I won't have as much time to post as I used to, but I will try my best to keep you updated. Have a great day and happy reading!:)
