This winglet stars the infamous Nightwing asssasin DeathBringer. This short story was highly entertaining to read, and gives a whole lot of depth to DeathBringer's character, who we meet in Book 4. I highly reccomend for any dragon fan or WOF fan to come and read this short story!!

The Winglets are short stories in the wings of fire universe that give more depth into certain characters and events. This one is centered around Icewing prince, Prince Arctic and his lover Foeslayer. It tells the story of how exactly they escaped the Icewing palace, and Arctic's descent into his abusive, and dark complanitive personality. If you are a WOF fan I highly reccomend getting this book so you can understand certain characters and events better.

"May the odds be ever in your favor!" After a bloody war, twelve districts rose from the ashes of what was formerly known as North America, lead by a glorious Capitol. As revenge for the districts' betrayal in the war, the Capitol requires one young man and woman from each district to participate in an annual televised fight to the death, commonly known as the 'Hunger Games.' And when Primrose Everdeen, an innocent twelve-year-old from District 12 gets selected to participate in the Hunger Games, her sister, Katniss, is shell-shocked - and in a life-changing decision, volunteers to take her place. Her fellow tribute from her district is announced as one Peeta Mellark, who helped Katniss and her family in their time of need.. and there will only be one survivor. In order to survive, they are presented to the frivolous citizens of the Capitol as "star-crossed lovers", and must play the part to stay alive.. together. Prepare for an action-filled adventure of betrayals, poisonous berries, unexpected allies, bloody deaths, wildfires, heartbreak, and maybe even true love..? I highly recommend this book - please give it a try! This book fit right in the "dystopia" label, honestly - even though I completely fell for this book my first time reading it, I grew a little more critical the next few times around.. I felt like the "star-crossed lovers" cliché didn't exactly "fit" Katniss and Peeta - I felt like Katniss would be better off with her sister, Prim, even in the absolutely terrible conditions of District 12 - that would have been a "happy ending" for her. Instead, Katniss is stuck in a confusing love triangle between basically useless Peeta and her long-time friend, Gale, and I feel like even though the bloody Hunger Games is supposed to be the "main" storyline of the series, the whole overwhelming romance thing just pushes everything else aside. Aside from the cheesy "romance" side of this series, I absolutely loved some parts of the book - the sacrifice Katniss made for Prim felt so.. so heartbreaking, but I was absolutely devastated when a specific friend of Katniss died in her arms.. The emotional aspect of such an event was so well captured in this book, how heartbreaking it would be to lose your family or friends.. I could not stop sobbing. This outshone the "romance" storyline for me, and now, I am happy to say that I believe that Suzanne Collins wrote an absolutely breathtaking novel.. thank you.

In The House of Hades, by Rick Riordan, Percy and Annabeth have fallen into Tartarus, and they are struggling to stay alive, minute by minute. They need to find the Doors of Death, and quickly. There seems to be no hope for them—Tartarus is the home of thousands of monsters that would kill them in seconds. As they travel through Tartarus, they never know what could be hiding in the shadows. Meanwhile, Percy and Annabeth’s friends are sailing on the Argo II to rescue them from Tartarus. As Gaea starts to wake, the monsters are becoming more powerful and numerous. If Percy and Annnabeth aren’t rescued, the Argo II and its travellers will be in big trouble. In Rick Riordan’s latest book in the Heroes of Olympus series, The House of Hades has more action and adventure then ever before as Percy and Annabeth journey through Tartarus. Unsurprisingly, I really liked this book. Rick Riordan is one of my favorite authors, and I have been reading his books since I was in second grade. I love how he continues to mix mythology with the modern world. It is so cool to imagine the classic myths surrounding us in everyday life. This is a great series, with as much excitement, or more, than the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. I love Riordan’s writing—each book in this series has been incredible. The only thing that I wasn’t very fond of was the book’s length. Sure, it’s full of action and battles and monster-killing, but after a few hundred pages there are just too many monster battles, and it can drag on. Riordan could’ve made it a little shorter than 583 pages. Other than that, I loved it. The setting and battles were very well described, and the characters’ physical conditions and emotions were cleverly portrayed. This book was a great fourth installment in the Heroes of Olympus series. I am so excited for the fifth and final book in the series to come out, but I am sad for the end of Percy Jackson’s story.

I thought this book was good but not usually the type of book I would read. It has good storytelling but doesn't have a lot of action scenes. When I was reading it I felt bored sometimes because nothing excited was happening in that part. I liked this book because it always had questions running wild in my head. It is a book about a girl named Opal that just moved to a new town with her father. She feels very alone because she has no friends and her father is spending to much time on his job and not enough on her. Then she encounters a dog named Winn-Dixie and he changes her life. One of the things I most disliked about this book is I felt it took too long to get the climax and that the climax was really the only part with a lot of action and was exciting. The book itself is more intriguing than excited. One of the things I liked most about the book was how it always made me guess if something were to happen next or what was happing with a character that made him/her the way they are. I also liked how they kept teasing the return of a certain character and the result of the tease. All things considered, I would say the good thing outweighs the bad and it wasn't perfect so I think a 4-star rating if fair.

wow, i don't know what to say besides THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT!!! In every single chapter drama and even a little accidental comedy is introduced. There are constant twists, changes in characters ('wink wink kino') and I am always satisfied with the chapter. I would recommend this book to any kid over 10 and any adult or teenager. I am sure you will at least love it!

This.. this... is a beautiful story about trust, believing in yourself, the horrors of war.. and most importantly, it's about the friendship between Annemarie and Ellen, and how families can get through the most horrible of crises if they just.. believe. This book takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark in the middle of World War II. The king is Christian X, who is loved by his people.. but unfortunately, King Christian X couldn't stop soldiers from Germany to be stationed in Denmark. It was either the soldiers or war, which King Christian X knew he couldn't win. In this time, Annemarie and her family are living a moderately peaceful, normal life.. until their normal life is shattered by a new law - that all Jewish people must be captured. One by one, the Jewish people start going missing, and Annemarie and her family need to protect Annemarie's best friend, Ellen, who is Jewish. So Ellen is disguised as Lise, Annemarie's oldest sister who died in the hands of Germany. But when a German soldier comes to investigate and Ellen is almost caught, Annemarie and her family know that the only way to save Ellen now is to take her (through a boat) safely to Sweden. But they learn people are being caught on boats going to Sweden.. but they will have to risk it. Annemarie MUST deliver a very important package to her uncle (who is driving the boat) that might save Ellen's life.. before it's too late! Lois Lowry is one of my favorite authors, because she can write brilliant masterpieces.. honestly, I think this book is possibly her best yet. It's cleverly written so that it can make readers cry, laugh, rejoice, and feel horror, without missing a beat, constantly throughout the story. I felt like I was experiencing the pain of Annemarie, the fear of Ellen, and the author made me feel like I was basically in the story, watching the events happen. Oh, and the ending.. is very touching.. possibly one of the best endings I have read in any book. I would definitely recommend Number the Stars to any reader that understands the value of life, family, and friendship.

This book is amazing! I love the verse and insight on the people in Viatnam.

Alanna: The First Adventure Book Review Alanna: The First Adventure, which is the first book in the Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce, is the only book I have ever read in one day, despite my usual reading speed not being the fastest. Alanna is a younger identical twin, her older twin being her brother Thom. The twins have a problem in this book; Thom wants to study magic, though he’s being sent off to be a page and later a knight, and Alanna wants to become a knight one day, not study magic. She and Thom get into an argument, which precedes Alanna getting an idea. Her idea is to switch places, though it will be tricky to pull off, since they’re of the opposite sex. Thom is denying her idea, stating many reasons on why he thinks that it may not work. Finally he says, “What about Coram and Maude? They’ll be travelling with us, and they can tell us apart. They know we aren’t twin boys.” Coram is a soldier and swordsmith. The village healer, Maude, taught the pair of twins the basics of magic, and Coram is supposed to be traveling with Thom, while Maude traverses with Alanna. They contemplate many different ways to approach this carefully, to avoid getting caught. I liked that Tamora Pierce constructed the book to have Coram find out immediately that it’s Alanna and not Thom, but since Alanna knows some magic, and Coram dislikes magic, she threatens to use magic on him, blackmailing him if he tells anyone. It gives a sense of how much she hopes that she’ll be able to pull it off. They continue their journey to the castle, which made me joyful that it was included in the book—as some authors completely skip over instances like this—and when they reach it, Alanna is nervous, which adds realism to this book. There’s not really a lot in this book that I can say I didn’t like. I would have liked more exploration of the castle to be included. Was it majestic? Did it feel warm? Despite this, it does allow for my own imagination to be put into the story as I read this, the first book of the quartet. However, it is nice to have the author put her own idea of what most of the castle looks like, what it feels like to Alanna to be inside the castle—whose twin brother was actually supposed to be the one there—looking at the exterior and interior of the castle. In conclusion, I would undoubtedly recommend this book to people who enjoy high fantasy, as it is very layered. The plot is not hard to keep track of as it comes to one, which allows for one to read a couple other books, along with this one.

When I was little, I loved to read these books, and they amazed me! I laughed so hard that I could cry! And now as I grow up, I forgot these books, but when I saw the cover today, it reminded me of a flashback, reading this book. And now I forgot the drawings in this book! I hope everybody enjoys this funny book!
