City Spies - book review

-

 Hey! For some reason lately I've really been into espionage fiction - and when my Audible credit came up I chose this book. This is also, coincidentally, the first not-fantasy book I've read for a while, and it was nice to take a break from the genre. The cover looked pretty cool and who can miss out on such a diverse cast of main characters? I was not let down by any of it.



City Spies was so fun and thrilling that I made up a joke to describe the ride to my friends. Joke below.

Me: I should really get some sleep. Ten hours at least.

Also me at three in the morning: OMG THIS BOOK IS SO EXCITING SLEEP IS OVERRATED

Yeah. That pretty much sums up the awesomeness of this book. City Spies has characters from all around the world (France, Nepal, Brazil, Australia, and America) and I could not NOT read it. They all range in age as well - twelve to fifteen years old. The stakes are high - although not you're-dead-if-you-don't-do-this-right high - and I was absolutely thrilled by it all.

I liked seeing our main MAIN character, Sara/Brooklyn, being confident. I guess I'd had enough of the cliche that the main character is super insecure, etc. It was also nice to see her fail at things; she wasn't perfect, and I liked that. 

Can't wait for the rest of the series!

Ember Falls - book review

As I promised, here is a review of Ember Falls, the second book in the Green Ember series! I do  have more important things to do than write book reviews (such as worry about the characters in Ember's End, which are currently in mortal peril - I'm halfway through the book), but who's judging? No one is!                                            Okay, so where do I begin? This book is a great follow-up to The Green Ember, and I loved it. I don't knooooow how to review it, because it seems very hard to review without spoiling.  Well. I'll have to try. Ember Falls was exhilarating. It was intense. It was thrilling. Okay, maybe not thrilling. That belongs to the third book. But yeah.  Many of the plot twists were unexpected. There was one I saw coming a little early on, maybe because it had been hinted in the first book (a certain betrayal) but it doesn't matter. It wasn't the biggest plot twist. The prose is still descriptive and I really like S.D. Smith's

Frozen 2 - movie review

-
I'm writing this right after an hour since I came back from the cinema and let me tell you, Frozen 2 was a treat! Amazing, amazing, amazing!  I was so charmed by it, and my mother sitting next to me literally started fangirling over the water spirit (something I'd never thought she'd do!) Review starts here! Movie name:  Frozen 2 My rating: 5 stars My review: Each scene of this amazing movie is eye candy. The comedy is there, thrown in by Olaf. The intense, sad, scary moments are there, and there is a time when it looks like both sisters are gone for good. I would say that I actually liked this better than the original. Anna finally takes the role of a hero, and Elsa's personality becomes more developed, more than just the protective older sister. We're seeing the next "Let It Go" with the song "Into The Unknown", both of which are remotely similar. The movie was basically a musical - there are about 8-9 songs in it. Each spirit is d

Serafina and the Twisted Staff - book review

Hi! Some of you may remember my admittedly raging review about Serafina and the Black Cloak. It was a bit furious, I know. But I picked up the sequel, just to see if the writing would get better. I mean, I reasoned the author must be a newbie. Maybe he would improve in his next book. And Serafina and the Twisted Staff doesn't disappoint. It picks up two straight weeks later after Serafina defeats the Black Cloak, and takes us on another adventure with another object. Serafina and the Twisted Staff is infinitely better than its predecessor. The pacing of the plot is perfect, and I actually began to like Serafina as a character. I mean, she's still a bit special-snowflake-y, and sort of terrible when it comes to making decisions, but she grew as a character. I cared about her, which in the other book I didn't. She had actual development and a journey, and I really loved that. I wish the Twisted Staff had more story, because it's actually in the title. It just seemed to be
