Princess of Glass

Hi Everyone!
Yes I will probably get Firelight by Sophie Jordan, when it comes out tomorrow! But since I am short on time I really need to get reviewing. Oh and I am not doing a spotlight today because, like I said I am super short on time. And Also I probably won't be on the blog for a couple of days, at least not until Friday!

Title: Princess of Glass

Author: Jessica Day George
Rating: 5 stars

Review: In the sequel to Princess of the Midnight ball, instead of another retelling of the 12 dancing princesses we have a very unique retelling of Cinderella. On a kingdom exchange program, Princess Poppy, one of Rose's sisters, is sent to a faraway kingdom to stay. While she is there Poppy meets, Ellen, a clumsy maid who is pretty rude. Ellen is mixed up it seems with an evil witch who wants to take her and use her. But weird things are going on and everyone is acting strangely. Now it is up to Poppy and her new found friends to help solve the mystery of Ellen and the evil witch! But will she solve it in time?

Princess of Glass was even better than the first. This was a Cinderella retelling but in a very unique, awesome way. Poppy was quite funny, and I loved her determination and her guts! OK that sounds odd. I really like that she actually was willing to do something. Ellen was extremely rude but I found myself feeling pity for her after awhile. The plot was extremely good and the mysteries were excellent! This is a great fantasy read!

Princesses and Evil!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a fantastic Sunday! I have had a great one so far! I am going to review the princess books! Yay!

Title: Princess of the Midnight Ball

Author: Jessica Day George
Rating: 5 stars

Review: In this clever retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses we are swept up my mysteries and fantasy. Galen, a soldier returning from war, is going to the royal city to see if he can find work. When Galen finds work as a Gardener in the royal palace, he meets Rose, one of the princesses. Rose and her sisters have a deep, dark secret. Everyone who has every tried to figure out there secret has been killed or isn't able to. When Galen finds out about the mystery he immediately wants to help Rose and her twelve sisters. But will he and the sisters survive?

The Princess of the Midnight Ball is a great fantasy story. I usually don't like retelling of stories but this one was a great exception (and so is its sequel). Rose was really sweet and I felt for her. Who would want to dance, almost to death every single night? Galen was brave and super nice and who doesn't like a guy who knits!? The romance was sweet, but it was lacking a little. This was a great book, though!

Good Book! Well tomorrow I will review it's sequel, you shouldn't have to worry about it getting published, I am writing it right after I post this! Have a good evening!

Evermore

Hi!
How is everyone doing!? Well I am doing fine since this just happens to be a Saturday!!!! But now it's reviewing time!

Title: Evermore

Author: Alyson Noel
Rating: 3 stars

Review: 16 year-old Ever Bloom is now living with her aunt because of a fatal crash that killed her whole family. Since the crash Ever can see people's auras, hear what they are thinking and she has constant chatter in her head. But when Damen Auguste comes to town, Dames just happens to be gorgeous and mysterious, he can calm Ever and make her feel just a little bit normal again. The only thing is, Ever isn't sure about Damen- where he came from and what he is.

Evermore was a nice little read that I finished last weekend and while I found it enjoyable and I liked it, it seemed like there was way to many stories combined in it. Wait was it Twilight or was it Fallen, well most of the concepts seemed the same except Ever was just a little bit smarter than Bella or Luce. The plot, even though overused was sorta good. I like the concept of the book but it could have used a little more. I am still debating wether I want to read the 2nd book in the series and I am afraid that I will give in and do so. Well it was sorta good. . .

It is still a surpise, what I am I going to review tomorrow!

What Happened?

Hi!
So yesterday I published by review for Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and it is at the bottom of the page instead of at the top, so if you want to read it you will have to go look for it!

Today: Evermore by Alyson Noel

I am currently reading Beguiled by Deeanne Gist and J. Mark Bertrand! It is super good and I love it, after I finished reading that I am going to read Prophecy of the Sister by Michelle Zink!

Sorry but Spotlight Monday is out late!

Hi!
Here is Spotlight Monday since, well I didn't have time!

I Was Jane Austen's Best Friend

Summary from Goodreads:

When shy Jenny Cooper goes to stay with her cousin Jane Austen, she knows nothing of the world of beautiful dresses, dances, secrets, gossip, and romance that Jane inhabits. At fifteen, Jane is already a sharp observer of the customs of courtship. So when Jenny falls utterly in love with Captain Thomas Williams, who better than Jane to help her win the heart of this dashing man?

But is that even possible? After all, Jenny’s been harboring a most desperate secret. Should it become known, it would bring scandal not only to her, but also to the wonderful Austen family. What’s a poor orphan girl to do?

In this delicious dance between truth and fiction, Cora Harrison has crafted Jenny’s secret diary by reading everything Jane Austen wrote as a child and an adult, and by researching biographies, critical studies, and family letters. Jenny’s diary makes the past spring vividly to life and provides insight into the entire Austen family—especially the beloved Jane.

Looks good, especially since I am a sucker for Historical Fiction Romances! Coming out on September 28!

On September 7 Firelight is coming out!

The Hunger Games!

Hello!

Today we I am reviewing one of my few favorite books! It is absouletely amazing! Lets get to it now! I am writing my own summaries again!

Title: The Hunger Games

Author: Suzanne Collins
Rating: 5 stars

Review: Enter into the world of Panem, where each year 2 citizens from each of the 12 districts fight to death in The Hunger Games. When Katniss Everdeen's little sister, Prim, is picked to participate in The Hunger Games, Katniss immediately volunteers and decides to go in her place. The other tribute from the district is Peeta Mellark. When Katniss and Peeta get to the Games, they form a dangerous plan that could kill them or that could save them.

I loved the Hunger Games! It was one of the best books I have ever read. I was angered by the idea that people would make kids fight to the death but at the same time I was compelled by the idea. Katniss was amazing and I loved her, though I didn't particularly like some of the decisions she made. I loved reading about her experience in the arena and it was so cool! Peeta was so amazing and I thought he was so good. I just wish Katniss could make up her mind! Just a couple words more: Read The Hunger Games!!!

Please Excuse any spelling errors, spell check wasn't working!

I recieved Intrinsical yesterday! It is amazing so far!

Gone

HI and Happy Wednesday!

First off I would like to congratulate Alexandra Adornetto for the release of Halo and I would also like to congratulate Kiersten White on the release of Paranormalcy!! I am still doing summaries from Goodreads but only because I feel like it and this will probably be the last time I do this!

Title: Gone

Author: Lisa McMann
Rating: 3 stars

Summary from Goodreads: Janie thought she knew what her future held. And she thought she’d made her peace with it. But she can’t handle dragging Cabel down with her.

She knows he will stay with her, despite what she sees in his dreams. He’s amazing. And she’s a train wreck. Janie sees only one way to give him the life he deserves: She has to disappear. And it’s going to kill them both.
Then a stranger enters her life — and everything unravels. The future Janie once faced now has an ominous twist, and her choices are more dire than she’d ever thought possible. She alone must decide between the lesser of two evils. And time is running out....

My Review: Gone was a great conclusion to Lisa McMann's Wake trilogy. I really like how it wrapped things out and I was very satisfied with how things ended. Complainants are the same as last. Some of the things in the book I don't think were very appropriate. Overall a good book with a good plot!

Tomorrow: The Review for the Hunger Games! Finally!
