Raves: I absolutly loved this book. Haven did wonders bringing to reality these magestic creatures of God and her protraile of what it is like to be the presence of not only angles but God himself is breath taking. I was able to really connect with the deabth of all the charcters no mater how small their role may have been.
Rants: There are a few gamaticle errors, but nothing that would make you walk away from the amazing story.
Rating: I do give Falter by Haven Cage a 3 out of 4 stars, only due to some gramical errors. This book is a must read for teens and young adults
This is, without a doubt, the best book in the series, however, it would not be so without all the characters’ journeys and growth in the previous books. I have always related most to Renna’s quiet introvertedness and her hesitancy to take leadership. Interestingly enough, since beginning this series a few years ago, I have found myself in more and more situations at work in which I have needed to take more of a leadership role. In this way, I feel as if Renna and I have grown together, and I have enjoyed cheering on my fellow introvert as we both learned to come out of our shells. Leith has grown throughout the series as well, and it was satisfying to watch him relax a little bit and begin to enjoy his life. Granted, he is still recovering from his injuries and keeping an eye out for enemies, but he seems to finally accept the gift he has been given in a second chance and a relationship with Renna. This adds a whole new dynamic to his character when we see him fight to protect his family. Then there was Martyn. His story was my favorite in this book. I liked his gruff, grumpy nature and how his inner softness emerged in spite of his reluctance to show he cares. He has some serious trust issues, for valid reasons, but once he decides to commit to something he is fully invested. His character development was tremendously satisfying
My only complaint is, even though I praise the plot very highly, at times it is too difficult to understand what is going on, and this forced me to put the book down to clear my head. I am not an avid reader, so this annoyed me a little. The fact that I could not continue with the book because too many things were happening at once was frustrating and made me want to stop reading. But with reading on the sub-plots in the book gelled together and I was able to understand what was going on.
This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.
I think that this work is a very well put together book. Even though In the earlier questions I make it sound like a ten on ten this book is not. I rate this book a 9/10 for the soul reason that it was on a very directed path and you could the events that were going to happen before they did by just reading the book. Even the twist that the author put in were not that book which made some of the book predictable and who really wants a book in which they know everything that is going to happen.
On to the positives! From the plot line to the writing style, to the character development, it was well put together. Quite a few times, I even found myself looking up certain words as I had never seen or heard them before. I, for one, will not complain about learning some new complex words. The pacing was also steady, once I started reading the book, I found it difficult to put down, especially towards the end, when everything came to a head. Lastly, the character development was wonderful.
I really liked the book. It was very enjoyable to read. I would recommend it to my friends, because I think they
The book turned out to be far more fascinating than I initially gave it credit for and even has a very unique magic system that comes with dire consequences whenever it is abused. As a writer myself, I loved seeing the plethora of new ideas, or at least new to me, presented in this book and I really look forward to reading Duyvis's other books.
I liked how in one scene from the story she described the surroundings as, “Wide expanses of moonlit grass separated the east and west sides of the street.” I also liked how the author used vivid description to create imagery on the appearances of the characters such as when Henri was described as being tired and weary immediately before he collapsed. One thing that I didn't like about the book was how the figures in the book that were deemed untrustworthy were turned into demons and other creatures. This did not seem very appropriate towards how the story was presented. The author could have made them glow a different color or done something that wouldn't have been so gruesome and terrible. This book was very inspirational and interesting to me despite the demons and vampires.
In closing, I think the book is awesome and I really enjoyed reading it. The dialogue was writing amazingly and the characters traits and beliefs were on key. I also really enjoyed the relationships between Henry and Keiko as well as the relationship between Henry and his
Shannon Messenger did an amazing job creating this page-turner. It made me immediately pity the main character, even though I barely knew her. Though I’ve seen many fantasy books, this one really struck me as different. Keeper of the Lost Cities pulled me in, making me want to read more. I marveled at the character’s powers, and soon I was attached to her. When someone mocked or teased her, I mentally scolded them. Messenger did a great job with the tone; she was able to control my mood the whole time. This book was practically defying gravity; I couldn’t put it down. Overall, Messenger set the bar high for any others aspiring to write works of fantasy.
It was winter when there was no work and classes were suspended due to the heavy snow Mia which was played by Chloe Moretz and her parents decided that they will visit their Grandparents. Everything was set and fine and their family was on their way to their Grandparent’s house, not until their car slid because of the snow and collided into a truck. Mia woke up on the ground and saw their wrecked car. Mia looked for parents and saw her dad dead and her dad’s brain was scattered on the roadway, she looked for her mom and saw her mom still in one piece but lifeless. Mia looked for teddy his younger brother and saw a hand and she walked near to it, when she saw the body, Mia was stunned
I thought this book was good. I liked it mostly because it had a really good story line. I thought it was good, because it usually had some action. Another reason I liked this book was because every character changed so much throughout the book.
Okay, I don't know what else to say besides the fact that I absolutely loved this book. I really enjoy books that take place in historical settings, like The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare and His Fair Assassin series by Robin LaFevers. This book was sort of a mix between the two.
I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.
I would like to conclude by saying that this novel The Lord of the Rings has inspired many spin off works, including several games as well.The enormous popularity of Tolkien’s epic saga has greatly expanded the demand for fantay novels, largely thanks to the Lord of the Rings. It is an an extraordinary work, grandly conceived, brilliantly executed and wildly entertaining novel of Tolkien .In the whole novel we see that it 's a hobbit 's dream, a wizard 's delight. And, of course, it 's only the beginning.The language used in this novel is very simple and easy to understand by people. In short this novel has won the hearts of many .This novel is a must read. I see this novel as a near perfect: It 's one of the best fantasy novel ever written. The story just revolves around the Ring which is created by a Dark lord, Sauron.It has brought the supernaturalism in such a way that we could clearly make out where is the supernaturalism used.
