Book Review: Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J, Maas

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HO-LY CRAP.

THIS BOOK RIGHT HERE.

I thought Throne of Glass was gonna be the death of me. But as soon as I opened up this book, I was wrong. I mean, I didn't know who thine hell is Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, and looked deranged while trying to figure it out, but when Chaol found out for me....HO-LY CRAP. I didn't know it was her. I swear to God, I didn't know.

But lemme talk about the one thing that killed me more than the Red Wedding: Nehemia's death. That broke the unholy hell out of me, and the last conversation Celeana had with her...the last one before she died...good lord, man. That sucked. And I'm glad Celeana got her revenge for her by killing Archer and delivering his head to the King (though I don't like the King. I truly don't. He can go fuck himself to the other side of the world. Just fuck right on off.) Then when Kaltain appeared again, I wanted to rage because I don't like her.

BUT DORIAN. Lemme talk about my precious boi, the Crown Prince. Because at first when he saw Chaol and Celeana together, he was like 'I'm going to forget her' and then after a meeting with his father BOOM magic powers appears and holy shit my son has magic, but he has to hide it from his father, but then when the carnival came and Baba Yellowlegs came in the picture, and had to ask questions about it, she scared him (I think she did) a bit and he ran off, but when Celeana came to see her...whooboy that fight though...

Holy crap the fight. I was worried for Celeana and thought that she was gonna die, but she killed the Ironteeth witch before she can tell him what Dorian told her.

Then the kidnapping of Chaol and the murder of all those people...hadn't seen that much rage in Celeana and it was fantastic. But the fight with the creature she summoned because she wanted to see Nehemia again...and Archer showing the eff up (that pissed me off) and Celeana tricking him to tell the truth before the ceature attacked...

And Celeana turned into a fae and used magic and killed the creature, that shocked me even more, and I'm glad it's dead, because if ANYTHING happened to Fleetfoot or my son, I was gonna kill someone...BADLY.

But the ending...when Chaol sent Celeana to Wendlyn to be safe, and when he found out about who she truly was...Aelin Ashryver Galathynius....holy crap.

I need to read the next book now.

Book Review: Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas

Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh lord, this book...this book make me have so many feels...I even cried at the end, that's how good it was. BUT once again, my husband and loml Sebastian was in it and thus, my feels were all over the place. But once again, before I go on about the love of my life and favorite heroes of all time, let's get through the book review first...

So Phoebe is the single mother of two boys after her husband died, and was promised marriage to a loser (to me he is) named Edward Larson, who's her late husband's cousin. But during Gabriel's and Phoebe's wedding, she runs into no other than West Ravenel, a man that has teased her husband when they were in boarding school. At first, she hated him because of what he did to Henry, but then she forgave him, and was actually shocked that her children liked being around him.

But that dinner scene between them was so cute and I loved it so much (including the recipe at the end of the book). Also, there was a scene where West saved Justin from the bull that nearly hurt him. I honestly gasped when it happened, because I started to worry about him, but was glad that he got better. Then came him coming to the house to help her and hot damn, that's when they're romance blossomed (actually, it blossomed when they kissed).

When West came to the house to help her with the ledgers, that's when it got really romantic. West was staying at the small cottage back in the house I believe, and holy moly the secret meetings at night (and they were passionate good lord) but my favorite scene was when she shaved his beard, thus giving me a kink I didn't even know I liked-I like it when men get shaved. I don't know why, but it was sexy as hell...

ANYWHOO...

West then had to leave for the both of them because of stupid ol' Edward coming back and also because he had a mistress behind Phoebe's back, and also he was taking money from Justin's inheritance to buy a house and all the luxurious things he needed for his mistress and his son. He even had the gall to ask Phoebe to marry him when she didn't feel not one damned thing for him anymore, and she said that she was going to remove him as trustee and put her father as the main trustee now.

Then West went back to drinking for a couple of days because he couldn't get Phoebe out of his head, and his friend Tom Severin took him to Jenner's, where he was nearly killed by Edward because he thought he could just try and convince my husband that he was the right one for Phoebe, and also because he thought he filled her mind with so many things about him, but Sebastian stopped him. Then the ending when Phoebe asks him to marry him and he said yes was just perfect.

BUT HOLD ON, WAIT A MINUTE, LET'S TALK ABOUT MY HUSBAND IN A COUPLE CHAPTERS, SHALL WE?

That one chapter with him in the tub when Evie went to go find him to talk to him was soo good. Even when he was counting down for her to take off her dress, only for her to be like, "go ahead"...and then the conversation they had afterward I CAN'T...I just CAN'T....and the train scene OMGGG was so cute...even when Evie played Patti-Cake with Stephen....

I loved this book so much and now I want to read more of her books.

Book Review:Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil in Spring...holy crap this book though...I had feels throughout this whole entire book and I loved every single minute of it. I loved how Pandora and Gabriel fell in love, and how Gabriel was very protective over Pandora because she was sheltered all her life, and also she's deaf in one ear. She wants to become a businesswoman and make her own games, and doesn't even want to marry.

BUT.

CAN. WE. TALK. ABOUT. THE. PROLOGUE. Y'ALL.

*pulls out a list of one thousand six hundred things I love about my husband Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent*

My favorite hero and loml (right next to Dante, of course) Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent and Evie appears in it and I CAN'T with it. I just can't with it. It was so cute and adorable and it makes me want to read the book over again because it was SO GOOD.

I'm going to debauch you for the ten thousandth time, Evie-and for once, I want you to pay attention."

Me: Hi yes, hello husband how are you OH PLEASE DEBAUCH ME ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT I DON'T CARE I LOVE YOU.

Buttt back to the book review and enough about my love for Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent-who's now a duke, y'all. HE'S A DUKE...

Now his son has the title of St. Vincent and at first, Pandora doesn't want to marry him. But in the week at Heron Point, they fell in love and got married, and it was really cute how when they went on their honeymoon and since she never went to a hotel she wanted to take a tour, but when Gabriel ended it and took her to their suite, they made love for the first time, and afterward Pandora told him that "Your lovemaking is a gift."

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS JEALOUS MISTRESS THOUGH? Like she wanted to make Pandora cry at the show, but Pandora stood her ground..before she got stabbed by the warehouse owner I believe and had to be taken to a hospital, where she was taken care of by Dr. Griffth. Gabriel didn't want her to operate on her, but then relented and let her do it.

Close to the ending of the book made me cry because I got worried for Pandora for a moment, then I learned (before Pandora got hurt) that terr ah GABRIEL'S A FREAK IN THE BED. Like he tied her up and they made love and my mouth dropped and I couldn't even.

Then the doctor's note for the both of them was funny and it made me laugh, and the threat that Pandora would got up and down the stairs and sing a children's song if he didn't make love to her. And the bombs that was planted in the hall when the Prince of Wales came through...that part made me cry the most, but I'm glad that they survived, and also the ending, when she came into Winterborne's and saw that her game was sold out. And the kiss at the end OMG I couldn't.

I would give this book ten out of ten stars if I could because it was SO GOOD.

Book Review: The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So...stupid me forgot that I didn't do a book review for this book. So I guess after reading this the second time, I decided to *finally* do a book review of The Assassin's Blade, a Throne of Glass novellas by Miss Sarah J. Maas...aka Yet Another Book That Wrecked Me At The End.

Shall we begin?

Like most books like this, I'll break this up by the short stories:

1.) The Assassin and the Pirate Lord-The first time I read this, I hated the pirate lord. I wanted to kill him for so many things. But to find out the Aborynn sent Sam and Celaena to get slaves from him, I was both shocked and appalled that he did that. I'm glad that Celaena came up with a plan to stop him from doing that because I couldn't believe that the King of Assassins would do that. But he did, but his plan was foiled, even though Sam didn't want to do it in the first place, calling it foolish. But he helped, and now all the slaves she saved were free and will never be slaves ever.

2.) The Assassin and the Healer-This is after when Aborynn beat Celaena and told her to go to the Red Desert. This was a really cute story about how she met this girl who worked at this tavern and saved her from drunks. She even taught her how to defend herself, then gave her some money and her brooch so she could leave that horrible place and go to be a Healer.

3.) The Assassin and the Desert-I *almost* shipped Celaena and Illas so hard, but Ansel was such a bitch for doing what she did. All because of something that happened to her a long time ago. And she and Celaena were such good friends, stealing Asterion horses and helping stop a local lord. But NOOOOO, Ansel made a damned deal with the lord and Celaena nearly killed her, but told her to get out and ride before she shot her arrow at her. That good she waited another minute before she shot her arrow. And I'm also glad that she learned some things from the Mute Master.

4.) The Assassin and the Underworld-This is the least one I liked from this group of stories, mostly because Aborynn screwed her over, but he showered her with gifts though. And Lysandra...hate her so much. I hope to god that she doesn't show up in the other books, because I want Celaena to mess her face right on up. And I felt sorry for Sam for even dealing with poor Lysandra during and after her Bidding, but glad that Celaena paid off his and her debts before moving out and leaving Abroynn for good.

5.)The Assassin and the Empire-THIS STORY BROKE THE HELL OUT OF ME. The way Sam died, and how Celaena had to go to the Salt Mines of Endovier. She was fucking set up by Aborynn-for what I don't know, but fucking hell, man. I hated Aborynn throughout the whole entire book, and to fucking set her up the way he did...I wished for the love god that he would die for what he did. That pissed me off to the HIGHEST pissofity. Also I hate the King of Ardarlan. So damned much.

Book Review: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hello there, and welcome to my TED talk about how much this book completely broke me. *screams about this book for 12 hours straight*

Holy crap, I'm ready for book two.

So this book is about Jude Duarte who was kidnapped by a faerie named Madoc when she was seven years old, after he killed her parents. She lived in Elfhame since then, and she had to deal with the curelness of the Faerie and including Prince Cardan, and...homegirl is a badass. She's good with the knife and sword, and she became my favorite character.

BUT PRINCE CARDAN.

*takes inhaling breath* BOIIIIII.

At first, I hated Cardan-in fact, I wanted to hang him upside down and leave him there. But then as I got to know him more and more...I started to like him. I started to like him so much that I honestly wanted to hug him for what his brother Balekin did to half of the family...and then when Jude and Cardan kissed, I was like, 'that's my ship'

Now I'm ready for book two and the third book, which I don't have but it's on my TBR and I just want more of these characters, dammit it-I NEED MORE OF THEM.

But back to the book review, in which I am all over the place with this...

Jude became a spy for Prince Dain's court, and she was a terrible spy, but it did hurt to read that she got stabbed in the hand really hard because Prince Dain told her too. Then the short romance between Locke and Jude (which I shipped for a little bit) before Balekin killed everyone, thus making everything go to hell before Jude came up with a plan...which was to put her young brother Oak on the throne. But Oak was too young, so Madoc would do it. Butttt then at the end, Cardan got the crown so he could rule, and honestly it looks good on him, really, it does.

And now I'm ready for Wicked King and the last book so I can die of happiness.

Book Review: Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I brought this book at my school's bookstore because it was interesting, and also the furiously happy raccoon on the cover. I didn't read this book for a semester until now, and I'm glad that I read this funny book. I laughed at a lot of parts of the book, even started my own little pen pal notes that my mind goes through because I found that part very funny. For example:

"Matthew Mercer is a huge teddy bear that I would like to hug one day."

"Every time I see a crepe, I think of Malec."

“Why am I imaging Vergil holding a baby, but not in a good way?”

There were some parts of the book that I connected with-like how her husband would sit up at night, saying that the cat don’t own pants and that the nurse had the wrong house, or the cutest arguments ever that made me laugh so much. At the end of the book I felt happy and glad that I read this book. I mean, it pulled me in with a raccoon on the cover, and I’m glad that there’s someone out there in the world that gets me. Like, truly gets me.

When I grow up, I want to be just like Jenny Lawson.
