four times the fun.
yeha, it's been a while but here I am doing the same junk ever since started this thing. I've read a lot during this time and I'm actually wondering where the hell did I get the time. Anyway, I'll do short reviews of the following, going from the most interesting to the least.
so Spells by Aprilynne Pike - I'm completely hooked and hyped for the series. The story continues with your beloved characters and introduces the unknown world of Avalon. Turns out to be like an alternate world in itself (imagine the wizarding world of HP) only with LoTR scenery. The story is descriptive, giving the fundamental basics of how everything runs and that makes it exciting! Of course, the book also continues the obvious love triangle and all the evil villains etc. I'm crazed about it, so much I'm contemplating on taking it with me over the summer holidays. I mean, why the hell not?!
next up: the intertwined series. There's only two novels so far in the series. I picked up the first book earlier on in the year and was half interested by it. It was one of those books where it's like 'yeah, this book's good. wait, what the hell just happened? dude, this book's awesome!' and I can say the same for the second installment without the bore factor. Anyway, it's tada surprise surprise a vampire novel. I know, that's one of the main reasons why I wasn't interested in the book. But it follows a boy who was born with four souls in his head. That's the thing I liked. The souls are an intrusion for Aden (the main character), they can talk, zone out, can't hear Aden's thoughts themselves (so most of time Aden looks like he's talking to himself) and they all possess a power. Aden can switch then on and off by letting the souls take over. One soul can time travel, one has the ability to possess other people's bodies, another can predict the future and the last one brings the dead back to life. It's great coz the first scene in the series starts off in a near cemetry. I never really heard of a story that took that kind of spin to it. So yeah, a worth a read for sure.
Gone is a sci-fi is that takes place in a world where everyone fifteen and over are... gone, like literally disappeared in a blink. So the story followings certain characters and their fight for suvival as the world they know begins to crumble. The book is like the Lost series, where it's very fragmented and you really don't know what's going on at times. People are poppin out with powers every so often that it's hard to follow. But when it's that intensive, it's all the more interesting. I'm not banging the series (I mean I like sci-fi and alternate worlds) but come on, kids ruling the world, I'm so over it.
