Book Review: Exile (The Legend of Drizzt #2) by R.A. Salvatore

Exile by R.A. Salvatore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Two of the Legend of Drizzt series, and I enjoyed this one. This book is a continuation of the first book, and it was fantastic, just like the many other books I've read written by Mr. Salvatore. Drizzt is exiled from his home, and his trying to live his life traveling along the Underdark. His family is after him, once again, and while that was going on, Drizzt is fighting wizards, being a slave to yochols (which I shivered at because WTF), and befriending a clacker and becoming friends to a deep gnomes.

He even leaned the language of the gnomes, which was fun and enjoyable to read.

But the one thing that pisses me off more is when Matron Malice-that bitch, I fucking can't stand her and I'm so glad that she's dead, though I pissed that Dinin is alive-brought back Zaknafein and thought she could control him, but um, that did't work. He sacrificed himself and went back to the spirit world, never to return, and Dinin and my messy son Jarlaxle Banere (whom I love so, so much , and that I'm hoping he'll show up (newsflash, he is and I'm so excited) made a deal to get Drizzt soon, but not now, later, maybe soon.

And then he walks out of Menzroberranzan, never to be seen ever again, to finally go to the surface, just like in the next book, book 3.

I loved this book so much, and I'm so glad I've read his story in the first three books, and now I'm gonna read the Crystal Shard tonight (among my many other books I have on my currently reading list).

Book Review: Homeland (Legend of Drizzt #1) by R.A. Salvatore

Homeland by R.A. Salvatore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the first book of the Legend of Drizzt series, and the first book of the Dark Elf Trilogy...and holy crap Mr. Salvatore this is a beautiful book. I've had so many feels while reading this book, I got worried about Drizzt in the book, and also I got worried about his father, Zaknafein. Like all I want is a book with just Drizzt and Zak, being father and son, and living happily together, far away from Menzoberranzan and their political bullshit and the backstabbing that could make Andy Cohen blush.

Here this book is about the life of Drizzt when he's living in Menzoberranzan. From his birth to him killing Masoj, the only Dark Elf he ever killed, to meeting his cat Guenhwyvar. We also meet his famiily-Matron Malice, Briza, Vierna, Maya, Dinin-and I don't give a flying fuck about them. All of them can rot in hell for all I care. I hated the so much-okay, maybe I liked Vierna and Rizzen, those two can stay with Drizzt and Zak. The others can fucking die in a sewer and I wouldn't give a fuck about them-they can just die for all I care.

But this book made me worry, I think I nearly had anxiety just reading this beautiful book almost made me cry, for many reasons:

1.) Zak's sacrifice so Drizzt can live because that bit was bullshit
2.) Matron Malice hunger for power-like seriously, bitch, calm the fuck down, be glad you're the fucking ninth house and calm your tits.
3.) The beatings Drizzt got made me so damned mad, even though I know that's how they live and do things, but fuck those snake whips, they look like it hurt like hell and he dealt with it
4.) Drizzt saving the surface elf from his kin-the sweetest thing my boyfriend have ever done, and I'm glad he left that horrible place. I wouldn't survive Menzoberranzan, even if I was a drow/dark elf.

Book Review: Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy, #1) by Emily A. Duncan

Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first book review of 2020...which is very late, but it's my bad because of school. But since I'm done studying, I guess I'll do a book review for this awesome book THAT BROKE ME TO THE POINT THAT MY BOY MALACHIASZ...MY BOY...I'M NOW WORRIED ABOUT HIM. Like damn, my boy, my sweet boy, is GONE. Completely gone. THANKS EMILY FOR NEARLY GIVING ME A BLOODY HEART ATTACK.

And Serefin? Mr. Prince that TURNED INTO A MOTH PRINCE BOY??? I hated him in the beginning-this I've said a couple times while I was reading it, I never liked this boy. But then I felt sorry for him because his father is a dick for wanting to be a god, but he failed in the end of being a god, and I almost had a heart attack when he died-and he got poisoned as well. But I secretly shipped him and Kacper for some odd reason, then Serefin and Zaneta, though at the end I really didn't like Zaneta.

But I loved the concept of a cleric who can hear the gods in her head-like all of them. It sounded so beautiful and perfect, and I loved Nadezhda, and I wanted to protect her so much. Then she falls for my son Malachiasz and I shipped them till the bloody end, when he turned into the Black Vulture and flew off, bloody tricking her (doooohhhhh I was so damned MAD when I read that...SO DAMNED MAD) that I wanted to fight someone (seriously, just wanna fight someone when it happened.

Also...fuck the King, fuck the Vultures, fuck the Crimson Vulture, fuck every bad thing in this book.

One more thing: the fights in this book were incredible.

Book Review: The Vampire Diaries: The Fury/Dark Reunion by L.J. Smith

The Fury / Dark Reunion by L.J. Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Okay...this one is slightly better than the first, mostly because Elena was halfway annoying in The Fury, but then she passed at the end, making it much, much bad to me, because Katherine is a terrible little shit ad I couldn't stand her, mostly because she acted like a child, was very different than the Katherine on the show. I mean, in the beginning of the book Elena didn't know who everyone was whens she was turned into a vampire, clinging to Damon and saying that he loved her, and before that she attacked Stefan-which, once again, I totally got. I would be doing the same thing if I was a newly-born vampire.

But once she got her memories back after reading her journal and went to her funeral, that's when the strange things started to happen to the animals, mostly the dogs. Then all of them (her, Damon, Stefan, Bonnie and Meredith) were coming up with a list on who is the Other Powers-and they thought Alaric Saltzman, the new history teacher, was one of them. (at that, I laughed), but he wasn't. Alaric was actually a psychologist who knew about the vampire attacks and had never met a vampire, till he met Damon, Elena and Damon.

So after they eliminated the rest of the people (Robert, and the rest of the people, including some others that I don't remember) and realized that the Winter Ball is that night, and they were going to find and fight whoever did it. When it turned out to be Katherine, I was honestly like 'Well shit," but no one, not one person, told me how crazy she was.

Like goodness, I thought Damon was gonna go through with the foolishness:

"Katherine," he [Damon] said. He was still smiling.
"Yes." she leaned closer.
"Katherine..."
"Yes, Damon?"
"Go to hell."-Damon Salvatore, the Fury, pg 221-222

But in the end, he didn't, and Elena killed her, though she had to die in the process.

But in Dark Reunion...whoo boy. That one was a trip, mostly because KLAUS WAS IN IT AND I THOTTED OVER HIM TILL THE SPIRITS TOOK CARE OF HIM. And then we find out that Tyler Smallwood's family are descended from werewolves,and I'm also glad that Stefan and Matt are friends now. Even though Klaus had to go bye bye in the end and Elena came back, I actually enjoyed myself reading this book in one day yesterday.

Book Review: The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening/The Struggle by L.J. Smith

The Awakening / The Struggle by L.J. Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Or: Elena Gilbert goes after one goddamn guy, making him her whole world and chasing after him like he did in the show, thus giving me a headache with all this running around until she got turned.

In the show Elena didn’t annoy me as much as I thought she would, but then I picked up this book again, something I haven’t read in a long time, read it…and hated Elena so much. All she did was chase after the new guy, Stefan Salvatore, when he came to Robert E. Lee High School. Soon murders started popping up almost everywhere, Stefan remembering a time when he “thought” he killed Katherine, and honestly…it was just sheer stupidity that makes me realize that I like Damon more than I like Stefan, who is just boring as hell.

Stefan, even though when I was in high school and I loved him to death…was also boing as hell. Yes he hunted animals and protected Elena from Damon, but I was like, can you do something else other than be a goody two shoes? Because I almost fell asleep reading this book. The only good thing about this book was Damon and how he pretty much toyed with Elena and Stefan in the second book.

But in all honesty, this was me at Elena the whole entire time:

Book Review: Sojourn, a Legend of Drizzt novel by R.A. Salvatore

Sojourn by R.A. Salvatore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book three of the Dark Elf Trilogy...I enjoyed myself-this was a good book. It was slow at first, with him trying to get to know the Thistledown children before he had to hide, but then he avenged their deaths when the fucking barghest came, took the form of the drow (possibly him) and killed him with his own scimitar, and Drizzt and Guenhwyvar killed them (there were two), then he left the village to go somewhere else to live, all the while being chased by Roddy McGristle, whom I hated so much because all he wanted was to kill Drizzt and in the end he didn't.

We get to meet new characters-Montolio DeBrouchee, a blind hermit ranger who follows Mielikki, Burenor Battlehammer, and his daughter Catti-Brie. Along with other characters like Kellindil and Dove Falconhand, I honestly enjoyed this book so much (and can’t wait till next year to dig into the books I ordered and read the moment 2020 gets here). I enjoyed the book, the action was beautiful and I was happy when Catti-Brie and Drizzt became friends, even though she had to defy Burenor to do it.

I honestly didn’t like Roddy, mostly because he went after Drizzt, swearing up and down that he killed the Thistledowns (which wasn’t the case) and yes Drizzt cut his ear off and had to kill the dog because he attacked first while Drizzt couldn’t speak a lick of English. But to just put all the blame on one person instead of listening to reason, letting you go down this horrible road to Drizzt only to be turned away-that’s what you get, honestly. But I loved this book and I can’t wait to read more of this book series.

Book Review: A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well this book made me cry for some odd reason. I mean, it's short, and on top of that there is a preview of the next book (in which i'm ready for, even when she said that the next book is a Nesta and Cassian book, in which I scream very loudly. In my head) but among other thing, and I hate that this was a short book, it was filled with so much goodness.

Like Feyre and her opening a art studio on rainbow road for the people hurt in the war and I cried over that. Even when it looks like Elain was finally being happy with everyone, thanks to Nuala and Cerriwen (I can't write names), but staying away from Lucien. Even Morrigan trying her dangest to celebrate the Winter Solstice, even when they visited the Court of Night and she wanted to kill Eris and her father right then and there, but didn't. And Rhysand giving Feyre a house for all of them to live in, for her to decorate however she wanted-that made me cry the most.

The only bad thing that I didn't like from the book was Tamlin and his broodness and how torn he was FROM THE SHIT HE PULLED WITH FEYRE AND HOW FEYRE BROUGHT THE WHOLE SPRING COURT DOWN, and all the shit Nesta's doing. I'm was so mad at her for just doing what she was doing, and also that she slept with men before she even slept with Cassian (which for right now will never happen, but I WANT THEM TOGETHER, YEEZUS) but other than that I loved it.

Even when Rhys and Feyre had amazing sex to the point that it destroyed Rhysand that he probably couldn't walk for a while-he probably was sitting in a corner, sucking on his thumb calling for his mother before he went to visit Tamlin again. But I enjoyed myself reading this and now I wanna read more of this series (and also more Throne of Glass. Because I miss my hubby Rowan).
