Book Review: Blood of Elves: A Novel of the Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski

Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you have played the Witcher games or love dark fantasy, then this book is for you. Though it took me a long time to read it, I enjoyed every last bit of it-I was on the adventure with Geralt and Ciri when they was traveling with Triss and had to protect her when she got sick, then it broke off and I saw Dandelion again and seeing my wifey Yennefer of Venegerberg....*le sigh* but all in all I love this book so much and would read all of these books when I find them.

Book Review: West to Comanche County by Doug Bowman

West To Comanche County by Doug Bowman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first western novel I've ever read and I honestly loved it. I'd never thought that I'd enjoy a book like this-I was prepared for the boring stuff, but the action parts and how Kirb got his revenge....

Hoooo-ly crapzola, where do I begin? Well let's start at the beginning, where Kirb and his wife Ellie left Tennessee to go to Texas. I swear these two are so cute, they became my OTP from the beginning. They traveled for days to Comanche County, meeting new people and eating the weirdest food combinations that I ever heard of before in my life, and when they did reach Comanche County and got settled down...that's when everything went straight to hell.

It all started in the wintertime, when Kirb and his friend Clay Summers walked in to find Ellie murdered-raped and killed by three men....and Kirb wanted revenge. So he did, after he buried her, and went to hunt down the three men. And all of them died quite painfully.

Stovall died with a bullet in his throat, and Pat Pollard and Lonny Tripp both died with a bullet in the mouth. I enjoyed it and I really do reconmend this book a lot.

Book Review: The Mortal Insturments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first time reading the first book of the Mortal Instruments, and I enjoyed it, bu it also fustrated me-mostly because of the Jace/Valentine 'Jace, I am your father' crap, when they didn't get the Mortal Cup at the end-the hell, man, the hell. But honestly I enjoyed the book a lot.

So what's this book about?

Fifteen year old Clary Fray and her best friend Simon Lewis is waiting to get inside the all ages club Pandemonium, where Clary sees a group of weird people dressed in all black go upstairs and actually sees them kills the 'boy' or demon-and thus is how Clary's life changed when she found out the group is called the Shadowhunters, a group of Nephilim warriors who protects the humans-"mundanes"-from the Downworlders.

When a ex-shadowhunter, Valentine Morgenstern, fakes his own death and is looking for the Mortal Cup, Clary helps Jace, Alec, and Isabelle to find it, only to find out Jace and Clary are related (in comes in the Darth Vader: 'I am your father') and then Jace and Valentine fight for a bit, then Valentine left through a mirror into Idris, and it got shattered.

I also reunited with Magnus Bane (I was honestly happy to see him) and I giggled when Simon turned into a rat.

All and all, it was an okay book to me, just those parts about the 'I'm your father' and not getting the cup just irritated me.

Book Review: The Crown (the Selection, #5) by Kiera Cass

The Crown by Kiera Cass
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Just like the last book I read, I've never read the Selection series, so I picked this book up....and honestly it was the most boring book I've ever read in my life. Here's the points of the book:

-It was hella boring.

-The Selection feels like either the Bachlorette or any 2000's love competition shows, like Flavor of Love or I Love New York

-I feel like the main character rushed through the Selection, not spending time with the boys, even though she became the Queen and has to deal with a bully.

-It took the end of the book to fall in love with the translator, or to realize that she was in love with the translator for Henri.

It was an okay book, though I need to read the last four books to understand it.

Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book...this book, this book, this book...the first time I read this book, is when my grandmama passed away, and I didn't want to touch this book at all. Now that I checked this book out nearly a couple months later, let's just say that this book basically blew my mind. I loved every single moment of this book, even cried a little at some parts, and my mouth dropped at the end. I couldn't remember everything, but I thought I break this book review down by points I wrote in my journal so I won't forget.

-I like Tamlin, even though he lied to Feyre. I know he did it to protect her from Amanthra, but to keep doing it throughout the book urked me a bit, but then I got over it at the end.

-Dislike Rhysand because he's annoying, even though he is the High Lord of the Night Court. Yeah he's cute and have wings and can break your mind without a second thought. But good lord, Rhysand annoys me so much, even when he made Feyre drink that faerie wine and made her dance till she puked.

-Don't know how people ship Feyre x Rhysand-I don't see it. Sorry, I just don't.

-Lucien is a okay petunia. That is all.

-I hated Nesta in the beginning, then I grew to like her. Yes she used to live in a big-ass house, was rich and brought whatever she wanted, but to be hateful towards your sisters and hate your father for giving it all up (I think, I don't remember the reason why she hates her father) but then when Tamlin sent Feyre back, and Feyre saw how Tamlin took care of her family, Nesta knew everything, and she told Feyre that she knew what was going on, and that there wasn't no Great Aunt whatchimacallit.

-Feyre got on my nerves about finding a way out of the "Treaty" but couldn't. I understand that you want to go back home, Feyre, but good lord girl, if you can't leave, you can't leave-everyone told you that-the Suriel, Tamlin, everyone.

-Amarantha is scary AF and I'm glad Tamlin killed her.

I really do recommend this book a lot and I enjoyed it a lot!!!

Book Review: Awakened, a House of Night Novel by P.C. and Kristen Cast

Awakened by P.C. Cast
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My god...this book, this book, this book...hell, this world basically....I missed it so much when I picked it up. This book made me have so many feels, from the death of someone to Neferet being a bitch, and the Kalona and Rephaim plan to betray Neferet because they realize that Neferet never had any control over him at all....

But let's talk about Jack's death-the death that just...just hurts so much. The boy was innocent, waiting on Zoey to come home that he made a whole bunch of origamis for her, and he wanted to sing the Glee version of Defying Gravity, but now he can't since Neferet used him as a bloody sacrifice to Darkness. And Damien...I felt sorry for Damien when he found the body, and Stevie Rae knew that Neferet did it, but didn't know how. Thus the reason why Zoey came back from the Isle of Skye, though she didn't want to because of her conscience (I believe) along with her Warrior and Guardian Stark (in which I ship them 110%).

And the relationship between Rephaim and Stevie Rae, though how secret it can be, came out at Jack's funeral (thanks Neferet for coming in and pretending that she forgive her and all that jazz-which were *Kathy Bates voice* LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIESSSSSSSSSSSS) but then when Nyx showed up after she tried to out Zoey and told Damien that Jack was happy in her gardens and that he'll see her again, turning Rephaim into a raven by day and a boy by night, giving Dragon the choice to forgive Rephaim for the death of his love Anastasia, ant giving Neferet a chance to come back to the right path of the Goddess (but honestly, I wish she didn't do it because she didn't do it).

And then the death of Zoey's mother, Linda...I shed some tears when I read that death, because once again, it was uncalled for, Neferet wanted to kill Zoey's grandmother after she basically took over House of Night again, and all because she wanted a vessel....which had Heath's soul in it, making him reincarnated in the vessel now called Aurox (which is the most stupidest name I've ever heard).

I really enjoyed this book and I want to get the rest of the books and read more because I honestly missed this world so much.
