Magic Triumphs Book Review

Brilliant 

Andrews outdid themselves! This one was off the chart - the plot, the sarcastic conversations, the character developments especially with Huge D'Ambray (I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER MISHMAR NOW), the battle action and the ending. It was perfect. It had an ending we deserved, an ending we did not know we needed. 

I do not know if this was the last story of Curran and Kate, I hope to God not. I want more of them. They are fun, romantic and badass. There is no boring moment in the book. I felt like I was present in their house while conversing with the others while being on the street trying to protect Conlan and on the battlefield. I could not let go of the book, even at work. I had to finish it especially the moment d'Ambray enters the scene. 

Kate and Curran never changed. They are the same as they were from the first book. Though I was scared for Curran with him eating God to attain power. But we knew why he did it at the end and it was worth it. As for Kate, her fighting scenes were so much better and she was so in control of her power. SHE WAS BRILLIANT! 

As for the new addition of the family, Conlan Lennart, he was magnificent. A prodigy. I love how his parts were written in such a way that you feel like you're there and he was cooing with you. I just wanted to get into the book to hold him and load him with kissies. Cutest were-lion ever! 

The other characters added their pizzaz to the stories and it is always a delight when they are converse with each other. From the druids, especially the one with the chickens, from the witch with the one who hates Kate to the assholes Knights, the Guild mercenaries, the biohazard dude, Teddy Jo aka God of Death, the Keep, the Casino vampires etc... It's a clusterfuck of amazing people with amazing talents. 

The last battle kept you on your feet. I really thought Roland would not come or Neig would bring Kate to his realm and we would have a cliffhanger. I really expected a cliffhanger with this one. I am glad I got a closure. 

Roland is fine but he's away now. He might come, well he will try all the time but he will meet resistance as always. Neig is dead as fuck. Good riddance! He was despicable. I love dragons and he dishonoured the mythical creature. 

Erra's situation at the end was a surprise for me, maybe they'll make her arc now along with Julie. Oh, Julie, she grew so fast. I hope she knows what she's doing and even if she wants to explore on her own, she needs Dereck with her. PLEASE. 

Kate, Curran and Conlan adventure of peace begins...

Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead Book Review

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #3 EPIC-TASTIC FINALE  I took my time with this one. It was worth savouring each page. I can't express how much I love this series. Magnus, Samirah, Blitz, Hearth, Mallory, T.J and Half-born have become my friends (in my head). The book has the typical Riordan's ingredients. It is hilarious, the adventures just don't stop, the actions even how gruesome it is, you are not horrified, you root for the characters, the plot has a flow and you learn tons on specific mythology, and this case, it's on Norse.  I could not help myself picturing Loki, Odin, Thorn, Heimdall and Frigg as the actors in Marvel's Thor. Though picturing Thor, Chris Hemsworth as a Metallica fan who likes to fart a lot was hard. I had to stretch my imagination there.  I won't summarise the story - those who read the first two will know what is going to happen in this and why our young (mostly dead heroes) are hell-bent in stopping Loki's

Vortex Visions Book Review

Vortex Visions, Book one of the Vortex Chronicles Reading Vortex Visions was like coming back to a place you visited a long time ago. I loved Air Awakens books, with Vhalla and Aldrik. Elise Kova knows how to create worlds and inhuman creatures that become normal for you, such as in the Loom Chronicles. And I expected the same with Vortex Visions, Elise definitely delivered.  Vhalla, being one of my favourite female book characters, it was pretty normal that I love her daughter. She is a good mix of Aldrik and Vhalla. I nearly forgot the promise Vhalla made to Sehra. I'm glad it was not shown how it happened, I wouldn't bear watching Aldrik and Vhalla letting go of Vi. Anyway, few first pages of the book and I was already hooked. We heard about and met the original characters. We met new characters that slowly became my favourites as well, except Andru. His first expression got me suspicious and I nearly hated him.  I must say it took me a while to understand that Romu

Chosen Champion Book Review

Chosen Champion, Book 2, Vortex Chronicles You did not just end the book like this! Fortunately, the next one comes within a week. And contrary to the first book, this one kept me on edge with Vi going on her adventure. I was excited for her that she would finally meet Taavin and then scared as well since she will meet the enemy and as the crown princess, people will just use her to gain more power.  I think the one thing that stood out most in this book is the reveal of the traitor. I must say I am not happy that I wasn't surprised. I was suspicious of that person since the Winter Solstice festival and the person was always grumpy, or on edge. I don't know how to describe it but I know that I did not trust that person at all.  Well, good riddance, though knowing the father of the traitor, I felt a little sad. He doesn't deserve that. I like him from Air Awaken's chronicles. Ugh!  And the second thing that stood out in this book is meeting Vhalla, again. It was
