This is my 3rd time though, in preparation for reading the final book. And this is still glorious. I really have enjoyed revisiting these characters and this world.

Superb! This one gets 5 Super stars, with bonus magical powers.

I’m so happy to be rereading this one, in preparation for reading book 2 for the first time.

I adore how this explores the same situation from different perspectives. It walks that fine line between what is right and what is wrong, as well as who is good and who is bad. It’s a reminder that most of the world and life exists in the gray areas, not in the black and white areas.

A book about superheroes and villains, you say?





This was so much fun!





Until it wasn't.


And it was full of brave and powerful heroes and villains...





...assuming you can figure out which are which.


And the ending:





This was another incredible book by Marissa Meyer, assuming you like to feel like this while reading:





Here's how long you'll be willing to wait for book two:

Dark Eden by Chris Beckett

Dark Eden by Chris Beckett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great premise! This is such an interesting and other-worldly sci-fi novel, with a strong dystopian feel about it. This story just sucked me right in, but I won't try to explain the plot, as to avoid spoilers. I think this is one of those books that reads best when you go in knowing almost nothing and just get to be surprised as the story evolves.

I'm so happy that it was suggested in an Audicted podcast, which is why I picked it up in the first place. The audiobook is fantastic, with 8 different narrators, representing different POVs, though a majority of the narration is handled by two main POVs, and the others just make occasional appearances.

I am definitely moving on to book 2.

The Protector by Elin Peer

The Protector by Elin Peer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is set 400 years in the future, so the first part of the book explains what the new world is like. At first I enjoyed it, but it seemed to carry on a little longer than I would have liked. So this made it hard for me to stay focused and interested in the book. Around half way through the book, I began to become more interested. I am very curious to see how this series goes forward.

This book was narrated by Noelle Bridges and John Masterson, they did a great job. I felt like John did a great job of getting the tone of voice you would expect out of a strong norther.
