"A continuation of the events of For The Wolf, For The Throne follows Neve and her desperate search for control, power and a means to get home. It was a good end to the series, saccharine but acceptable and entertaining all the same." 4 Stars  Pros:  All the same characters from the first novel except for 1/Solmir is a great bad guy but also a character you come to love/Neve’s journey was an interesting mirror to Reds but that was the whole point/The ending was saccharine but I enjoyed it for its open-endedness. Cons:  Though I’m a sucker for a happy ending, this all seemed extremely convenient. Full Review:  After the dramatic conclusion of For The Wolf, Neve finds herself in the Shadowlands, the inverted, gray, desolate prison that the Five Kings created when they attempted to destroy the Wilderwood. In order for her to get home to her sister, which is all she really wants to do, she has to team up with Solmir and go on her own journey of self-discovery to try and ...

  "Mean Girls" meets "The Craft" only gory and gruesome and all of it justified in the name of the Lord. It was a pretty mindless read but entertaining for what it was." 2 Stars.  Pros:  The fact that we're not often entirely honest with people, even those we're closest to, was interesting/The end was a bit surprising.  Cons:  Big gaping plot holes, like how Riley got into Sofia's house in the middle of the night and how did they manage to kidnap Brooklyn/Sofia's shifting alliances, sometimes it was hard to tell whose side she was on but with everything that happens, you can't blame her too much.  Full Review:  Sofia is new to Friend, Mississippi. She meets lots of new people on her first day at school. A girl named Brooklyn, artsy, unique. A girl named Riley, the typical preppy, beautiful, can do no wrong popular girl. And to Sofia's surprise, Riley welcomes her into her circle of friends. But Sofia soon finds that Riley and her friends...

"An intricately detailed and beautiful story of how the smallest detail of our lives can have the most intense repercussions and how even in the darkest moments, there is light. We just can't always see it." 5 Stars Pros:  You feel for every almost every single character that appears/Doerr's prose is...so beautiful that words cannot do it justice/Once I started this book, I didn't want to stop.  Cons:  Some of the detailed explanations of the smaller parts of a radio and how they worked went over my head but in the overall grand scheme of the book, I barely noticed it.  Full Review:  D-Day is a success. The tide of the war is turning. But in one city in France, Saint Malo, there are still Germans holed up and fighting against the invaders. And in one house, is a young girl, Marie-Laure, scared, uncertain and alone and in her possession is a small gemstone that the Fuhrer and some of those in his employ, are desperately searching for. Blind since she was six, Mar...

"An acceptable conclusion to Duncan's "Something Dark and Holy" trilogy. It wasn't as fast paced, edge of your seat, tense as Wicked Saints  but not as scattered, ethereal and frankly, rather confusing as Ruthless Gods. Blessed Monsters  was a pretty good balance of both and I finished the series, satisfied." 3 Stars.  Pros:  I am a sucker for happy endings but ones that are still a little open ended so the reader can decide what happens/I appreciated that instead of constantly betraying one another, everyone decided that it was best to actually work together to try and fix everything they had broken.  Cons:  The constant repetition of words, "nothing, nothing, nothing," "gone, gone, gone", "blood, blood, blood", "yes, yes and no" got really old really fast/The constant dying and then coming back to life bit, I mean, no author actually wants to kill off a character but again, like "X-Men's" Phoenix, no on...
