Book Review: A Strange Power

Hi everyone,
I recently finished A Strange Power by L.J. Smith. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.  The is the first in the Dark Visions series. You can check out my October TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. 


Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free: I first started this book not really knowing what to expect, except that from attempting to read The Vampire Diaries which is also by this author that it may not be very good. Boy was a surprised by the one though, I really enjoyed it and the whole concept of kids going to an institute to learn about their powers. It almost gave me Fallen kinda of vibes except with out the angels and there is a bit of a love triangle between our main characters. The love triangle is definitely not too over done though like in some YA, its very subtle, which leaves more time for actual story building and other characters. I gotta say I really like the mix of characters that the book has since we have a mix of good guy, bad guy, nerd and hippie and each character has a different set of powers. So cool. I also love the fact that this was a super fast read. I think I read in about a week which is really pretty fast for me. I know the horrible cover art doesn't do it justice but I think overall this is a pretty good book and I can't wait to see where the rest of the series goes. I would definitely give this one a read if you get the chance.

Book Review: The Tramua

Hi everyone,
I recently finished The Trauma- the second book in the series Pebble in the Dark by Antony Botting. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.  If you haven't yet make sure you've checked out my review for the first book Pebble in the Dark here. 


First off, I would like to again thank the author for sending me this book. I am so thankful and I never expected that I would ever receive anything from anyone ever. So this is totally awesome and so cool!

Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free: Much like the first book, A Pebble in the Dark, was fast paced and action packed which I really liked. I also liked that we get a lot more Sci-Fi elements in The Trauma than the first book.  The sci-fi elements in the story almost remind me a bit of the futuristic part of Cloud Atlas, which I think is pretty cool.
I would say that the first half of the book was definitely my favorite since there is so much going on with all of our character's and leading into The Trauma. 
Lastly the few problems I had occurred mainly in the second half of the story. Now I totally know we live in a George R.R. Martin era ( A.K.A Game of Thrones, if you didn't know that was the author) where killing characters should be expected but there is a point where even I'm like WWWWHHYY? That was what happened here. I truly didn't want to see some of the characters go especially in some of the ways they did but by the end of novel it almost got resolved. It will be interesting to see where the third book takes us. Disclaimer I know that was very vague and general...no spoilers remember... just know you need to read the book to see what I mean and who dies and how. 
I would definitely recommend that you give this book a read and check out this series. I think it is an incredible first series for an author in a difficult genera to master.

Book Review: A Storm of Silver and Ash

Hi everyone,

I recently finished A storm of Silver and Ash by Marion Blackwood. I gave this book 4.8 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.  Make sure you go check out my October TBR where I show this book and what else I'm reading this month. Also, I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. So huge thank you to Marion Blackwood to sending me this book. My review is also up on Goodreads. 

Now hopping on in to the review this is spoiler free. I really like how fast paced this book was, I really enjoyed that we were pretty much thrown right in to the action with our main character Storm. And Storm is a totally badass, she reminds me of  Cleina Sardothan from Throne of Glass or Androma Racella from Zenith. Which is totally a good thing, since I love this type of character. Although I would have like a bit more backstory about Storm a little bit sooner in the story instead of near the end that way I could have understood her feeling like a "on coming storm" a bit better besides that she is just a thief. I also really like Liam's character he is definitely like the little brother of the story. I also have to mention Shade. I really liked Shades character too since I never could tell which side he was playing. You'll defiantly have to read the book to figure out what I mean by that. Spoiler free remember. lol I also really enjoyed the elves,  they were more like the elves from Lord of the Rings. They were woodland based with a bit of magic. Super cool that the magic aspect was woven in nicely and not too overpowering with the elve characters.  I also liked how their society was completely different than the one Storm came from. Storm was very used the this society where there was a true class system where there was a major different between the upper and lower. I liked that in her society that the lower class was separated in the guilds and that each guild had a place and respect for each other. Very cool. 

Moving on from characters and story in to the setting I liked the world building overall. I would have love to have a map though just so that we can see the world I little better. Especially the city and how its laid out in districts. I just think that would have made a cool addition. 

Lastly writing style. I love the language used in this it was very modern for more of a classic fantasy themed story. I defiantly found some of the lines that character's would say to be pretty funny. Like " Join  the army, they said. It'll be an easy job, they said."  

Overall I would recommended this book especially if you like fantasy and characters that fit in the the Throne of Glass type genera. I personally love that kind of story and I really enjoyed this book. I would have like to have a few things add to the story has a whole but it was A+ for a debut novel.
