“Bind your fate to mine”

Lore by Alexandra Bracken

February 22, 2021 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality.   Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family’s sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory. For years she’s pushed away any thought of […]

Brightly Woven: The Graphic Novel by Alexandra Bracken

June 4, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Brightly Woven: The Graphic Novel is a refreshingly simple fantasy yet is not superficial. You know the characters and themes because you have read other stories with handsome, mysterious wizards and lovely, plucky heroines. The villains are bad (they even have the scar to prove it). There is magic, secrets and even a possible romance. There is intrigue and a war to be stopped. When Sydelle Mirabil meets Waylon North, she realizes he is not an ordinary wizard. And soon, she learns she is not […]

The kids are all right

May 24, 2018 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

So this is book 2 of the Darkest Minds trilogy.  We saw at the end of the first book that Ruby went back to the Children’s League to protect Liam and to save Chubs’ life.  She’s joined a team, and they go on missions and ops and try to fight against the president. Ruby actually does learn a lot from her training.  She becomes a better fighter, and she’s learning how to better control her powers.  However, they’re basically making her torture people for information […]

I feel like I’m okay with this ending

May 16, 2018 by lowercasesee Leave a Comment

This review is going to suffer from me having read multiple books since finishing this one. I do apologize. I powered through it mostly to have the conclusion and, hey, it was a pretty satisfying one, as “dystopian YA novels with powerful teenage female protagonists” go. The book actually dives pretty deeply into what is clearly Ruby’s PTSD following the bombing of their previous base and the loss of one of her closest friends. Granted, the book then also sidesteps some of those symptoms to […]

These kids are much tougher than I ever would be

May 10, 2018 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Any time I see a trailer for a movie that is also a book, I usually rush out and read the book.  I saw the trailer for this movie, and I knew I was headed to the library. They gist of these books (there are three, so you know I’ll be reading all three!) is that all children in the world either die of a brain disease (horribly), or they have unusual powers. The change usually comes around age ten for all of the children.  […]
