Book Reviews: Quick & Dirty
Ok guys, I’ll admit what you already know - I. have. been. slacking! So rather than go back and try and do big long reviews for all the books I’ve been reading, because truly I have been reading, I’m just going to get down and dirty right here. Here are some of the books I’ve read over the past couple of months and what I thought!
Book Review: Lady Smoke
Book two of the Ash Princess series starts us off on the Smoke - notorious pirate Dragonbane's legendary ship. Princess Theodosia and her rag tag group have successfully escaped Astrea, but not quite as smoothly or as to plan as they’d hope. This sequel takes them on their next steps in the long journey towards reclaiming her throne, and getting their country back.
Book versus Movie: The Darkest Minds
If you haven’t read (or seen) The Darkest Minds, it’s a great little young adult fantasy trilogy. Set in a world where very few children remain alive, most of the kids in the United States have fallen victim to a strange disease the government calls I.A.A.N. The survivors have developed “powers,” and are divided into colors based on their special abilities – reds control fire, yellows electricity, greens are super smart, and so forth. Since the government doesn’t know what to do with these kids, they throw them in work camps and gruesomely try to find a cure (kind of.. but anyway..). Ruby Daley is one of the few mind-controlling oranges (spoiler alert) who has been hiding in plain sight in the Thurmond camp for years, when a revolutionary group breaks her free and sets her out into the world – cue the young adult, dystopian future adventure.
