Review of The Demon Tamer



I am giving this book 4/5 stars! I received a copy from the author for an honest review. Thank you Brancati for the great book!!

 There is a lot of different cultures that get a spotlight in this story, and I think that has to be one of my favorite parts. I love being able to learn about other cultures, and Brancati clearly did his research. It added a special part to the story that allows the reader to feel as though they are experiencing it and are there, too.

 Although I was confused at first, it didn't take long for me to start understanding what was happening. There were times were I went back to being confused for a split second though, and I am pretty sure that is because I kept needing to put it away for class. I do not believe I would have been as confused if I had started the book on a day where I had nothing planned. 

 If descriptions aren't your thing, and you would rather have a book that gets straight to the point and doesn't waste time, this is the book for you! My younger brother gets bored when a book has paragraphs of descriptions and points where there is seemingly nothing cool happening, and I truly believe my brother would love this book. While he may like it, I would have liked a little bit more description so that I could better visualize the scenes and feel more immersed. 

 Ancient Rome? Yes PLEASE! There is nothing I love more than ancient Rome. I find it interesting and (as plain as it may sound) very cool. So that was definitely something that made me interested in this book and get into it. 

 Adventure is something that I find to usually be interesting and keep the story going, and this story was not any different. I enjoyed the adventure and think that it kept the story interesting and kept me reading. There is nothing (besides romance) I love more than adventure!
This review is also on Goodreads and Bookbub!
Synopsis:
The legends tell of a small village created by the Gods, where life flows without death stopping it. The Adults hide a great secret: on the mountains lives an evil Dragon, guardian of an ancient power, and it is said that he only eats children.

In the darkness of the night, moved by the lust for this power, the Demons invade the impenetrable mountain range of the Kolgòta that protects the village. Only Dasmond, a young boy, fights his enemies to save the true heir of the ancient power: "The Son of the Dragon".

An exciting story set at the time of the Emperor Constantine, where the Demons mingle among the people and only a select few can eradicate Evil from our world. They are those who will one day be called "The Demon Tamers".

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...

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...
