Book Review: Flyte by Angie Sage

Young Adult > Fantasy

(Septimus Heap #2)

It’s been a year since septimus heap discovered his real family and true calling to be a wizard. As Apprentice to Extra Ordinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand, he is learning the fine arts of Conjurations, Charms, and other Magyk, while Jenna is adapting to life as the Princess and enjoying the freedom of the Castle.

But there is something sinister at work. Marcia is constantly trailed by a menacing Darke Shadow, and Septimus’s brother Simon seems bent on a revenge no one understands. Why is the Darke Magyk still lingering?

Bringing fantasy to new heights, Angie Sage continues the journey of Septimus Heap with her trademark humor and all of the clever details readers have come to love.

Book 1: Magyk review

x-x-x

Flyte is a fun sequel. The emphasis on the importance of family is what I liked the most in here. See, Septimus‘ oldest brother Simon is the villain. Even if Simon tried to “indirectly” kill him a few times, Septimus chose to spare his brother’s life in the end. Now, isn’t that nice?

I got a lot of laughs while listening to the audiobook. Nico‘s the most entertaining character! Besides Septimus, his rants and banters are the most enjoyable. And the spells are delightful, especially the chocolate spell! I would love to get my hands on that.

Marcia was the typical adult character who does not listen to the complaints and accusations of a child, and in this case, Septimus (who is her apprentice). Sometimes, you just want to knock these kind of adults out, yes?

I found a loose end with the Dragon Boat, but overall Flyte made me want to continue reading this series. It was simply hilarious and just downright entertaining for fantasy readers like me.

Book Review: Eona by Allison Goodman

Young Adult > Fantasy

(Eon #2)

Eon has been revealed as Eona, the first female Dragoneye in hundreds of years. Along with fellow rebels Ryko and Lady Dela, she is on the run from High Lord Sethon’s army. The renegades are on a quest for the black folio, stolen by the drug-riddled Dillon; they must also find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona’s power and the black folio if he is to wrest back his throne from the selfstyled “Emperor” Sethon. Through it all, Eona must come to terms with her new Dragoneye identity and power – and learn to bear the anguish of the ten dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered. As they focus their power through her, she becomes a dangerous conduit for their plans. . . .

Book 1: Eon review

x-x-x

…and I can bravely say that Eona is one of the best YA sequels I have ever read.

Lord Ido FTW!
Man, I love my villains.

Eona is very different from Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. More fast-paced, better character development, and even an effective love triangle. Oh, how I revel in the romance here!

I did not expect a love triangle, not really. For this type of fantasy will rely on the world building and the decisive plot for it to become enchanting in my eyes. And yet, the entangling relationships between Eona, Kygo and Ido were inherent in releasing the power of the dragons. Alison Goodman, how the H did you do that?

I liked that Eona was not as gullible and a pushover than when she was Eon. It was a tremendous relief that Eona was finally learning that lies, no matter how good is the intention, will never be better than the truth. She said she was done with lying, with living a stolen life. There you go, Eona. And what a fantastic story you gave me.

Sure I like Kygo. But it was a fleeting crush on a forbidden prince. With Ido, it was… an obsession. A very unhealthy need to make him MINE! Ahem. *flips hair* Let’s face it. Ido’s swoon-worthy moments with Eona are hotter than Kygo’s. Oh yes, I’d rather have the Dragoneye than the Emperor, thank you very much!

I would’ve given Eona a 5, but there was little union with Eona and her Mirror Dragon. I’m expecting more of that. And I would’ve liked it more if Eona ended up with Ido. Why? I found it more powerful if Eona made Ido change for the better, if she was reason enough for Ido to choose love over power. Knowing Eona’s influence over him was far stronger and deeper than he deserved. You know? The ending would’ve been stunning! But that’s just me.

Eona was an awesome follow-up. Where do you draw the line between duty and love? Eona explored her boundaries bravely, even if it means losing a little of herself.

(I still think Eona and Ido is the better match. Just sayin’.)

Book Review: Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

Young Adult > Fantasy

(Lunar Chonicles #2)

Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison–even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner.

Book 1: Cinder review

x-x-x

…Lemme be your alpha female, Wolf!

It’s been awhile since I went beserk and turned into a fangirl by a fictional guy. But oh boy, I got dibs on Wolf as early as The Queen’s Army! *silly grin* It amazed me that Marissa Meyer can strike fairy tales as it really was: rendering girls like me lovestruck, giggly, and downright happy!

I didn’t care that Scarlet and Wolf had only met for days, then felt so strongly for each other. Hello. Fairy tale retellings, right? And their connection was the right entertainment (and swoon!) I was looking for in this genre. I’d like to think that while Cinder was moony over Kai in Cinder, Scarlet was cautious while being smitten with Wolf. As the story progresses, the fairy tale elements also progresses. And that was a delight for me.

Cinder‘s adventures with Thorne was more amusing that I hoped for. I liked that Cinder’s POV are only snippets, so as not to overwhelm Scarlet’s, because Scarlet’s life and family background actually shed light on who Cinder was (prior to living with Adri and her stepsisters) and how her destiny was protected by both Lunars and humans.

Scarlet‘s journey to find his grandmother with Wolf’s help was also pleasurable. Her character was alright, but Wolf was more mesmerizing. Here is this perfect ally with quiet strength, humility and impossible charm for a stranger. But he’s also secretive, confused, and has issues of his own. Aah, move over Kai. I’m all for Wolf!!!

Swooning aside, Scarlet is a fantastic sequel. New characters that added to the series’ charisma are such a welcome. Indeed, Cinder’s journey continues here. While she pines for Kai, she understood that it’s no longer about her anymore. She’s more than just a gifted mechanic, but she’s not sure she wants the life that destiny has in store for her.

I want more, Marissa Meyer. More Wolf! *ahem*

Book Review: The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

Young Adult > Fantasy

(The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #1)

He holds the secret that can end the world.

The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.

The records show that he died in 1418.

But his tomb is empty.

The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It’s the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That’s exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won’t know what’s happening until it’s too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.

Sometimes legends are true.

And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.

I googled Nicholas Flamel. So true. Because I am intrigued by fiction inspired by people that really existed in the past. And alchemy is something I craved reading way back in high school.

The Alchemyst was hard to get into. Really hard. The first half was boring. It only got interesting when Hecate came in. And that got the action ball rolling, so to speak.

The adventure was there; so were the villains. Its hard to hate Dr. Dee when you read his POV as well, correct? And Perenelle Flamel was very formidable!

As for the twins, Josh and Sophie, they were alright. I felt disconnected, somehow. It didn’t matter to me that they are about to be annihilated by the undead army… maybe I was just starting to have fun, on their expense. Ha!

My favorite scene was the Bast-Sophie-Perry face-off. Now, that was fun.

I’m not sure if want to continue reading this series anytime soon. Or I can try the audiobook version. Yeah, I can try that. The Alchemyst and I might just have started on the wrong foot. I think the series will get better. Right? Because I like Scatty (and the Witch of Endor by association).

Mini Book Reviews: Glitches, The Queen’s Army

Young Adult > Fantasy

(Luna Chronicles 0.5)

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. In “Glitches,” a short prequel story to Cinder, we see the results of that illness play out, and the emotional toll that takes on Cinder. Something that may, or may not, be a glitch…

x-x-x

… So, I finally met Cinder’s stepfather. You do know what happened to him in the fairy tale, right?

Glitches showed how Cinder came into her adoptive family. It also narrated Cinder’s initial struggle over her being a cyborg. And she discovered her gift on tinkering at this time.

This e-novella has a sad tone. But to her stepmom’s credit, Adri was not at all bad at the start. She really loved Cinder’s stepdad. And it was love at first sight for Peony on Cinder. I liked this part, such a simple take on one’s kindness towards someone who lost everything.

(Lunar Chronicles #1.5)

It is time. The boy must leave his family to serve in the Queen’s army. To be chosen is an honor. To decline is impossible. The boy is modified. He is trained for several years, and learns to fight to the death. He proves to the Queen—and to himself—that he is capable of evil. He is just the kind of soldier the Queen wants: the alpha of his pack.

…Whoa whoa whoa. Ze’ev!!!

I love reading stories about strong heroes who are humble. Here in The Queen’s Army, that humility was realized in Ze’ev’s character (more apparent in Scarlet). And the fact that Ze’ev does not delight in hurting other people is a major plus (even if he just needed to defend himself). My man here is the freakin’ perfect soldier!

The Queen’s Army highlighted Ze’ev’s beginnings in preparation for his role in Scarlet. I think this is my favorite e-novella so far, among all I’ve read. Man, I was half in love with Ze’ev already! He’s strong, smart, and takes action when the situation calls for it, no matter how brutal the outcome may be. I firmly believed that this should be more than just an e-novella. Full story please, Marissa Meyer?

I guess I have a new book boyfriend? Oh, yeah. *winks*

Too many secrets. Not enough time.

Nick Merrick is supposed to be the level-headed one. The peacemaker. Since it’s just him and his three hotheaded brothers against the world, that’s a survival tactic.

But now he’s got problems even his brothers can’t help him survive.

His so-called girlfriend, Quinn, is going quick as mercury from daring to crazy. Meanwhile, Quinn’s dancer friend Adam is throwing Nick off balance, forcing him to recognize a truth he’d rather shove back into the dark.

He can feel it—-the atmosphere is sizzling. Danger is on the way. But whatever happens next, Nick is starting to find out that sometimes nothing you do can keep the peace.

…Oh, Brigid Kemmerer. You sneaky, little…..! Holy sh*t. Nick Merrick!!!

*breathes deeply*

I didn’t expect this kind of curveball from Brigid Kemmerer. Really, I didn’t. And now, I wish Nick‘s full story will come out sooner rather than later! Here is the responsible Merrick. The peaceful twin. Wouldn’t you know, there’s a hurricane raging silently inside of him!

Breathless briefly showcased Nick’s role to the Merrick Family. How being the middleman among his brothers helped him help Quinn with her problems. Me thinks Nick is going to be my favorite Merrick brother, once his story is published after Hunter’s. But for now, he’s coming really close to Chris, who is my current fave.

So.. secrets, huh? How Brigid Kemmerer managed to write Nick’s POV and he came out as hot as his twin, Gabriel… astounding.

Book Review: Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor

Young Adult > Fantasy

(Daughter of Smoke and Bone #2)

Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war.

This is not that world.

Art student and monster’s apprentice Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is—and what she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give anything to undo: She loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world suffered for it.

In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou must decide how far she’ll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlight finds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.

While Karou and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for redemption. For hope.

But can any hope be salvaged from the ashes of their broken dream?

Book 1: Daughter of Smoke and Bone review

x-x-x

You dreamed a different way. Akiva, too. You, the pair of you, you had the capacity not to hate. The audacity to love. Do you know what a gift that is?

So. Out of 517 pages, the only swoon I got came from pg 512… and darn it if I did not feel hopeful after that! One word. Akiva.

Warning: This is not a happy sequel. But if you are still inclined to read, then be prepared to be desolate. =(

For Akiva, Karou was dead. For Karou, Akiva needs to be killed upon eye contact. See? It was (almost) hopeless. Akiva’s existence was meaningless (again) now that Karou’s gone. The continuous grief of Karou for her family was unbearable (good and bad). Both are chafed with despair, but who came stronger and unyielding to pain in the end? Making him/her better and more determined? It was Akiva.

Akiva‘s path to redemption was heartachingly beautiful. Here is a man who knows his mistakes, and yet he did not deny it. Rather, he embraced the consequences, no matter how dire and sorrowful. From an angel who knew nothing but bloodshed, to a man who loved no one but Madrigal, Akiva’s transition was empowering and reassuring. Akiva FTW!

Karou was hard to like in this sequel. I felt that things dawned on her too slowly. But isn’t she grieving? And does that not entitle her to be blinded by anguish? Maybe. But the pain heavily questioned that one thing that made a peaceful future possible between angels and chimaera – her love for Akiva.

Oh, hell. Why don’t you just kiss and make up already?

My heart broke for Hazael, because I really like that angel. and Issa, such a sweetheart. Either you love or hate Zuzana (I’m in between). And Karou’s fellow Kirin? Very interesting!

The twists are still amazing though. and the hopeful note in the end? My goodness, it whet my appetite for the third book!!!

Be brave. Be very brave when you dive into Days of Blood and Starlight. This rather sorrowful fantasy is still extraordinary in its own right.

*emerges from state of sadness*

We have a war to fight, Akiva. And a girl to win, all over again. *winks*

Book Review: Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

Young Adult > Fantasy

(Falling Kingdoms #1)

In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power—brutally transforming their subjects’ lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined:

Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.

Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished—and finds himself the leader of a people’s revolution centuries in the making.

Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.

Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword. . . .

The only outcome that’s certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed.

x-x-x

…but I actually don’t know who to root for.

Hate is such a strong emotion. Much more powerful than indifference. But those who burn with hate can also love just as intensely. Can’t they? When you hate–or love–do you do so with all your heart? So much that it feels as if you might die from it?

Three kingdoms. Auranos, Paelsia, Limeros. Four POVs (at one time, five). Cleo, Jonas, Lucia and Magnus. It was hard to track everyone, to tell you the truth. Because just when I was getting comfortable with Magnus, the POV shifts to Lucia, or Cleo. Given that, I am not sure which of them I should give my support, so to speak. But Magnus is the most compelling among them. Intriguing, this prince was. =)

So maybe if you like A Game of Thrones, there is a possibility that Falling Kingdoms will appeal to you. The lack of regard to characters is a similarity. Why, you ask? See, the first character who was growing on me, while I’m still on the verge of attaching to him… he was murdered. After displaying himself as a formidable man to watch out for, he has to die suddenly. *grunts* I hate that author’s trick.

Suffice it to say that I clung to Magnus to give me hope on this rather boring lament of Cleo and maybe Jonas, too. I couldn’t care less what happened to them. So Magnus’ character… his tortured soul was such a joy to watch. I have no qualms if he’s good or bad. I just want Magnus to be this powerful, definitive, and convincing Blood Prince that everyone expects him to be. Bring it on, then. I’m sure Magnus will fit the role perfectly. *evil grin*

The few curveballs that made Falling Kingdoms a massive jolt to my system? I’m still deciding if I like them. I think I need to read Rebel Spring to say if this fantasy is worth investing my time and emotions to. I believe it can be better, so let’s hope that it will be.

Book Review: Seven Realms #2: The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima

Young Adult > Fantasy

(Seven Realms #2)

Haunted by the loss of his mother and sister, hunted by the powerful Bayar family, Han Alister makes a devil’s bargain with the clans. If they sponsor his schooling at Mystwerk Academy at Oden’s Ford, he will become their magical sell-sword against the power-hungry Wizard Council.

Han and his clan friend Fire Dancer undertake the dangerous journey south through war-torn Arden. Once in Oden’s Ford, it doesn’t take long for the smoldering feud between Han and Micah Bayar to kindle into flame. After several attempts on his life, Han knows he has to find a way to defend himself.

In the magical dream world of Aediion, Han meets the mysterious Crow, a wizard with a long-standing grudge against the Bayars. Crow offers to tutor Han in wizardry in exchange for his help. Han agrees, once again forced into a bargain he hopes he won’t regret.

Meanwhile, Han’s friends Fire Dancer and Cat Tyburn struggle with their own demons. Dancer is determined to become a clan flashcrafter, despite his charmcaster status. Cat carries a load of guilt, as the only survivor of the slaughter of the gangs in Ragmarket and Southbridge.

Resuming her disguise as gently-born Rebecca Morley, Princess Raisa ana’Marianna travels with her friend Amon Byrne and his triple of cadets to Wien House, the military academy at Oden’s Ford. There she hopes she will find both temporary sanctuary from a forced marriage and the education she needs to succeed as the next Gray Wolf queen.

Much of Raisa’s education takes place outside of the classroom. As she mingles with students of all classes from throughout the Seven Realms, she forges the kind of friendships that don’t happen amid the cut-throat politics of the Gray Wolf Court. She also struggles to deal with her attraction to Amon—an attraction he seems determined to discourage.

When Han Alister asks the girl he knows as Rebecca to tutor him, she agrees. The streetlord turned wizard with the complicated past fascinates her, and he makes it clear the interest is mutual. But Han blames Queen Marianna and the Bayars for the loss of his family. As their relationship deepens, Raisa suspects that if Han knew her true identity, he wouldn’t want anything to do with her.

Book 1: The Demon King review

x-x-x

…I liked The Demon King better, I think. But this sequels has its own merits, so.. let’s put it this way: I really liked both books but, for different reasons.

The Exiled Queen chronicles Raisa’s time in Oden’s Ford, from escaping an arranged marriage to hiding in Oden’s Ford posing as a cadet. Han was also on his way there but going to the opposite side, where he was hell-bent on becoming a competent and powerful wizard worthy of his amulet.

This book was so hard to get into, just like The Demon King because the beginning was very slow! But, it’s worthy of investment. The Exiled Queen has that tone of Harry Potter..? Citizens of the Seven Kingdoms from different walks of life are learning to hone their powers and become a wizard. I didn’t like this part. Petty quarrels, diminutive discussions were boring to me.

Things started to pick up when the moment of Raisa and Han’s inevitable meeting approaches. I was so excited and giddy anticipating their reunion (of sorts)! And wow, I didn’t expect to swooon over Han. But I did! Over-the-top swoon. *blushes* He knows what he wants, alright. Oh, Han Allister. You swept me off my feet.

I pity Amon Byrnes. What a miserable situation you are in. But I felt no sympathy for him. Nope. I believe Han can beat him in a  fight again and again. Even without magic. Ha!

Raissa‘s character was more of a seesaw. Indignant one moment, selfless the next. I cannot figure out if she did grow up, now that she was no longer pampered as a princess, or if she’s still this stubborn heir to the throne who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

The highlight for me? Han. He’s a go-getter, and smart. So smart. Hot-tempered yes, but I’m glad Dancer was there to ground him.

I think The Exiled Queen is more on character development rather than the plot. Raissa and Han dug deeper into their hearts on what’s more important: happiness to one’s self, vengeance, or the greater good of the Seven Kingdoms?

Cuffs Allister, you rock!

(Interim Goddes of Love #2)

If you’ve been feeling neglected by the Goddess of Love lately, don’t worry — Hannah Maquiling, college sophomore, is in training to take over. The Original Goddess is missing, but Hannah is Interim Goddess now, and she should figure out how to solve humanity’s love problems soon. Quin (God of the Sun) is still her mentor, still really hot, but apparently isn’t as honest about his other earthly relationships as she thought. It’s frustrating, and enough to make her check out possibilities with Diego (God of the Sea) and Robbie (Cute Human).

In the meantime, she’s decided to spend some of her precious training time helping to break up a relationship, instead of putting one together. Why? Because the girl in question happens to be her best friend Sol, whose boyfriend is stealing not just from her, but from other people on campus. Sol didn’t exactly summon the Goddess, but this is what power over Love is for, right? Surely it’s not just about matchmaking, but ending doomed relationships too. (Even when it’s not what people want.)

Book 1: Interim Goddess of Love review

x-x-x

…should i switch to Team Diego? Haha!

I really was excited to read Queen of the Clueless. But the thing was, it left me with more questions than Interim Goddess of Love. And that made me a little frustrated. I believe this going to be a trilogy? So I wonder how Esguerra will cram all the answers in the final book, considering these are just short reads.. right?

LIKES. Diego getting more face time – I actually liked the guy! Hannah turning an opponent into her devotee – now, this turnaround was really good.

DISLIKES. Little (swoony) interaction between Hannah and Quin. Mysterious resistance to godlike powers of Sol. A new character with also a godlike power of his own.

The ending was very intriguing, though. Poor Hannah. Relying on her goddess dreams so much for her happiness. In turn, it made her clueless to what’s really going on IRL.

More Quin, please! and maybe a little Diego wouldn’t hurt, too. Ha!

Queen of the Clueless gave me the impression that if I only read books 1 and 3, I would still understand the story. Because I am not missing much on this book 2.
