Review of Ascenders

                                                                     
Amazon         

I received this book from the author for an honest review. I gave it 3.5 stars!


I did like this book, but it wasn't completely for me. There were spectacular descriptions on the appearance of different things. I could clearly picture what the author wanted me to see, and it wasn't so much so that I couldn't use my own imagination. I also liked that the author did not streamline the entire book, so it felt like there was more to the story. Personally, I think that it added to the writing quality and was refreshing. 
The story was original. I love when the afterlife is played with because we don't know a lot about it. Being able to follow Walker through her experience was interesting and I felt like I could connect with her even though I have never been in her shoes (obviously). I even let a few tears slip here and there when Walker was going through difficult times because I could understand and imagine what it would be like to be in her shoes. 

I am someone who does not like when a boy calls a girl "babe" or "baby" because I find it to be degrading. When I first read this, I didn't know if I could continue reading. It was repeated quite a lot throughout the story, but even though it bothered me, I was able to ignore it and still enjoy the story. I also think that a few of the minor events were stretched longer and given more attention than some of the major events. This did die down near the end of the story, though. 

Overall, I really did enjoy this book. I would recommend this book to people who like Fallen (genre side) by Lauren Kate and Starswept (writing style side) by Mary Fan.

I do plan on continuing this series :) can't wait to see how the story continues after that ending!

Review of The Queen of Nothing (SPOILER FREE)

This review is the SPOILER FREE version. I am giving this book 5/5 stars! GUYS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER! I DON'T WANT IT TO END! I really enjoyed reading this book, and I wish there were more books to come. I definitely think that there could be more if Holly Black wanted to make it happen. I live for Jude and Cardan's relationship, and their own personalities. I love these two so much. They are so skillfully crafted and have many layers to their personalities. There is more than just the sad, drunk boy, more than just the strong, power hungry girl. Their relationship grows (in a good or a bad way, you will find out) in this book and it tore me up! Many questions that had been unanswered in the second book are answered in this book. I feel like there are questions I still have that this book brought up, but it's nothing big that will eat at me for all eternity... I like the first half, but I really like the second half of the book. So much happene...

Review of Rebel

I am giving this book 3.5/5 stars. This book was more interesting than Prodigy , but not as interesting as Legend . Maybe more like Champion , in my honest opinion. I wasn't really interested in the beginning. It went slow and didn't feel like it was starting until around half way through the book. The beginning gives a lot of information on Antarctica's technology (which I was glad to learn more about) and I loved seeing how Day and Eden work through their past traumas and relationship struggles. I liked seeing how the Republic is handling things after war and what happens to Day and June after the events at the end of Champion . It goes over different types of relationship tensions and how their lives have changed and are going. I think it could have been shortened at least a little bit though. - SMALL SPOILER IN NEXT PARAGRAPH - We don't see Eden's bullies after the Level system is shut down. I found myself wondering what was happening to them and how the...
