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 like meeting an old friend and knowing that she's afflicted too, with Aldrik went to find a cure. I started to panic. You cannot do this to us, to them. They are the original. The power couple!!! They need to be together, to be healthy together. To hell with that ice woman pirate, whatever she is. Aldrik and Vhalla deserved, deserve and will always deserve a happy ever after. With both of their children now. 

 Anyway, we progress a bit in Vi learning to control her powers and she is pretty amazing at it. Even escaped an ice prison to kill a traitor. I stan a powerful woman. And now that she is with the voice, they must be unstoppable in saving the world.  

 I can't wait to read on her adventure on the Crescent Continent. 

 Book 3, Failed Future will be out on 21st July!!

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

Summoned to Thirteenth Grave Book Review

Charlie Davidson Series, Book 13 (Last one) I DON'T WANT IT TO END!  I delayed so much reading this one because I did not want it to end. I want more. It ended with a cliffhanger though. WHERE'S OSH? DID HE SWITCHED SIDE? We need Osh and a Beep story, like 18years later. I am sad that Charlie and Reyes couldn't be 'normal' parents. But they are here for her, a safe haven.  As usual, Charlie's character is a breath of fresh air. You love her even if she's annoying or keeps naming things/locations/body anatomies with ridiculous names. Reyes is just Reyes. This man makes me hyperventilate every time his dimple or smirk is mentioned. The man is among the top shelves male characters along with Bones from Night Huntress, Barrons from Fever Series, Kaleb from Psy-changeling series and Raphael from Guild Hunter series. TOP SHELF, ma man!  After 13 books, you tend to be familiar with Darynda's writing style and the flow of the plot. As usual, there i

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
