This book is not what I originally expected. For one thing, the goblins aren't evil. Okay, fine, maybe a tiny bit. But it's not like they would kill you.... unless you insulted them. So yeah, they are kinda evil. But not as evil as I expected. Another thing, the elves are basically Victorian, except, well, more barbaric. (there's this whole chopping-fingers-off thing with the king and one of his subjects) So basically, neither side is all that great. Add in the fact that there has recently been a goblin-elf war, and a bunch of people were killed, and you get a LOT of prejudices. Both sides think the other is totally evil. So when Brangwain Spurge is sent to bring a gem to the goblin king, things do NOT go smoothly. Then Spurge goes spying, and is caught. Spurge finds himself running away with his former enemy, whose life he has just ruined.

I wanted to read this book because I thought it would be a really fun book to read. I also thought that it looked short and quick.

Goosebumps the Haunted Mask by R.L Stine is a horror novel that follows a girl named Carly that gets scared by everyone but now wants to be the one to scare people so she buys a haunted mask that comes with some unknown side effects. This novel is about learning how to just accept who you are as a person. This novel did a great job at showing the true horror of a haunted mask and it had some great twists too. I would recommend this book as a 4 out of 5 stars.

They're all AMAZING books! And, although I would not like to live in a world like in the books, I also kind of would............ It's confusing. But totally read these books! It's an INCREDIBLE trilogy!

The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu is a fantasy book with a mix of historical fiction. This book takes place all around Europe and is about Nannerl Mozart, the older sister of Wolfgang Mozart (referred to as Woferl) wanting to be known in the world, and mark her place in history. But she was a shadow of her genius brother, who could work music like magic at such a young age. So Nannerl makes a deal with a so called Prince from another world, but all is not what it seems. This book talks about many important aspects of life such as family, love, stereotypes, and jealousy. I think that this book is a must read because if it’s amazing incorporation of fantasy and reality. If you are a fan of Marie Lu’s bestseller series Legend, you would love this book because they are both great examples of Marie Lu’s style. This review was written by Akarsh.
