Endling: The First - book review

-

 Oh, look, Gambler's not purple after all. Lol, if you're a newcomer to my blog and this is the first post you see, don't worry, I'm not crazy. *maniac smile* I'm book-crazy. Anyway, The First continues the trail that The Last left off, starting with our five main characters on their sort-of-road-trip. I say road trip because that's the only way I can describe this.



The First is just as good as its predecessor. We finally get some big, epic revelations *dramatic music builds up*, a dIsCoVeRy, and explanations to things that I had thought plot holes in the first book.

Khara finally gets some backstory (EEEEEEEEEEE YAY AND IT IS SOME REAL AWESOME BACKSTORY TRUST ME) and I finally receive the reason why Renzo has joined them. For some reason I burst into hysterical laughter when I realized why, and my brother was just staring at me like o.O

Tobble is still as cute as ever, but like Gambler says, he asks some big questions that need to be answered. Those questions are certainly thought-provoking (eg. "Is war necessary for peace?" and "What is the best choice in a world of bad choices?") That is one very wise eight-year-old.

Byx gets actual character development, so that is pretty awesome. Her thoughts are also very interesting to listen to. The fact that she is part of an endangered - or almost-extinct - species makes her perspective on the world interesting. Her aforementioned development is awesome as said before, and is very well written.

The Only isn't released yet. March is soooooo faaaaaaaar awaaaaaaay!

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
