Book Review: The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle

  Hi everyone,

I recently finished The Trials of Apollo: the Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading into my review.  Another bookish thing you can check out is my TikTok @brinadancer to see all the books I'm reading this month. I'd love to know what your reading this month let me know either here in the comments or on my video. 

Hopping on into the review.  I started reading the book because I thought it would be a pretty easy read and that I could get it done quickly. But I was wrong on that it took me forever to get through this book. I literally felt like I was on the same book for months. Granted I did start a new job and everything while trying to read this book so maybe that's why it felt so long.

Anyways, I did think that this book was a pretty good story. I do love Apollo and his humor. I think that this started out pretty mysterious and I would definitely say you need to have read at least part of The Heros of Olympus series before reading this. It does have spoilers from that series and there are characters from it was well that make an appearance in the book. 

Things I did like that Nico is in this book and he's with Will love that. I also love Meg's character she is a pretty cool demigod with her ability to call on a nature spirit Peaches is super funny. Things I didn't like I think this was a bit long we had a lot of filler it wasn't till like last 50 pages that it really got super exciting. Again maybe that was because it took me so long to get through it. 

I would recommend this book. Especially if you have invested in reading the other books in the series.  I did like some parts of it but I wish it would have been a little faster. If you have read this book let me know your comments below. 

Lastly, if you're looking for other books I have reviews up for Arc of A Scythe Trilogy up, Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. And  A Storm of Magic and many more throughout my blog.

Book review: Crush

 Hi everyone,

I recently finished Crush by Tracy Wolff. I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading into my review.  Another bookish thing you can check out is my TikTok @brinadancer to see all the books I'm reading this month. I'd love to know what your reading this month let me know either here in the comments or on my video. 

Hopping on into the review.  I was so excited to start this one. Especially after Crave, I was in love with this series. This one was pretty good I still enjoyed it but I thought it was a little long and I had to take breaks when reading this one. Make sure you've read the book before reading any further. 

This one picks up where Crave left off. Grace is totally stuck in stone and is just now being brought back months later with Hudson. Whooo boy Hudson is swoon-worthy for sure. I really like the way this started out with Grace not remembering what happened. But even by the end of Crush she still doesn't remember what happened between her and Hudson in the time they were trapped together. 

I did like that we get to see what Ludaires tournament is like though which is pretty awesome. We also get to see that Grace is learning to use her powers as a gargoyle. I almost wish it would have been so long though like this one dragged a little through many parts. I also like that there were several different "quests" Grace, Jaxon, and the whole group goes on that was very interesting. Again I think it could have been a little shorter though since this was a hefty book at over 600 pages. 

Now the icing on the cake was definitely the last 100 pages or so. OMG, it was crazy what went down between grace and Jaxon and Hudsens dad and Grace and Hudson. Since Grace decided to compete for a real spot on the Circle Cyrus Jaxons and Hudson's father made it so hard on her and he causes Jaxons and her mating bond to break. But that totally fine cause finally at the end we see that Hudson has a bond with her too. EEKKK totally great. 

I would recommend this book. I really enjoyed it for the most part it was pretty long though I wish it would have been a bit shorter. If you have read this book let me know your comments below. 

Lastly, if you're looking for other books I have reviews up for Arc of A Scythe Trilogy up, Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. And  A Storm of Magic and many more throughout my blog.
