Lord of Shadows (Dark Artifices)

Lord of Shadows (Dark Artifices)

By Cassandra Clare

zie

There is a certain allure to the Shadowhunter world, and I can say that anyone who has read Lord of Shadows has found it. It is a work of urban fantasy, romance, mystery and a battle of the most interesting races that I’ve heard of. Everything in The Shadowhunter Chronicles is crafted with such care; each character having the flaws, drive and hangups that make them human. They are all just that—humans in a world that might not be ready for change. These books (of the Shadowhunter Chronicles) are so full of wonder, and they offhandedly remind the reader of the hard truths that exist in any world—real or fictional. There is so much to say about Lord of Shadows. This book brings about a sinister air of what is to come: it does not bring peace to the audience that follows its series, but there are moments of that same peace amidst the madness. There is no words in any language that can convey my anguish and tears as I neared the final pages. To have to put a book like this down! I would never consider it! The journey that this book took me on warrants an entire manuscript of raw emotion. I could never dream that words printed on paper could make me feel so many things—that people and a story created in someone’s mind could influence my way of thinking.

Lost in the Sun

Lost in the Sun

By Lisa Graff

Lost in the Sun is about a boy named Trent, who is starting a middle school and all he wants is a fresh start. But that can’t happen when he was the one who killed Jared (on accident). He feels like everybody hates him, so he hates them back. Until he starts to know Fallon Little, a girl who has a scar down her face, that he learns that fresh starts aren’t easy to do, even when it seems like it is. I think this book is pretty good, and I would recommend it! ;)

Rumble Fish

Rumble Fish

By S. E. Hinton

It was ok. The book ended way too fast. It should have lasted a bit longer and ended with a better explanation. It was a little odd.

I really love this book! In the book this mysterious boy came to Nanea's grandfather's shop. Nanea is the main character. He brought an empty sack and when he left it was full of stuff. Nanea thought he was stealing from her grandfather. She teams up with her friend to figure things out. I love the American Girl dolls too!

Sleepover Sleuths (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #1)

By Carolyn Keene

Nancy drew and her friends are like kid detectives, There always trying to solve crime at there school. The books are really amazing there cool and adventurous, and there can be a twist to the story at times and they don't know what to do. I think that these books are perfect for 7+.

Requiem (Delirium Trilogy)

Requiem (Delirium Trilogy)

By Lauren Oliver

All of Lena's adventures have led up to this moment: breaking Portland free of its cured "Zombies." However, with Alex alive, she is still fighting a battle with amor nervosa deliria. Alex says he never really loved her. Lena doesn't dare to hope and rebounds to Julian. But when Alex strikes up a relationship with the lovely new girl, Coral, Lena can't deny her jealousy. Venturing through the Wilds with regulators means death at any moment, though, so Lena tries to push all of her feelings out of the way. The stakes are increasingly higher; regulators are now infiltrating the Wilds to kill all the Invalids. There is a traitor hiding within the Invalid group. Thousands die in the process. With her previously-thought-dead mother back, Julian and Alex fighting physically, and the Wilds a place filthier than she ever imagined, Lena wonders if it was a mistake ever joining the Invalids. But she made a choice. And without the cure, you are free to choose, even to choose the wrong thing. This book was dazzling, but the only thing I was opposed to was the open ending. I would not recommend starting the Delirium Trilogy at all if you do not like open endings, because this final book ends with one, and there is no fourth book. At the end, you don't really know who Lena ends up with, or if the Invalids win, or if Fred Hargrove dies, or if Portland simply becomes more corrupt. But the open ending is also a symbol: you, the reader, get to choose and interpret what will happen in the end, just as Lena and the Invalids get to choose because they are not cured and turned choiceless. Overall, I loved this book, I just am not a fan of indefinite endings.
