Tj Bennet, you have definately captured my attention, and I love the idea of spinning tales out of history. Thank you for the 5 hours of happiness. I hope that I will read more of your work in the future.
Oh. Wow. Just. Wow. I absolutely love this series! This story just grips you and stays with you forever. I really don't like re-reading books but I have re-read these books so many times and I love it each and every time! I can't say enough about this series, just wow. I love it so much
This is a small comic that every child should read and go over with their parents. It showed the horror and lies of human trafficking in a way that wasn't too graphic, but descriptive enough for young readers to be informed.
I believe this story has been told millions of times over the years, and it's heartbreaking every time. Children, both girls AND boys, need to be made aware of this so they can protect themselves.
Good job Thomas Estler and all the other abolitionists and abolutionistas!
I finally finished this book lol. This is my second time reading this series, I'm not even sure how far I got. I think I was reading John's story, number 5 or 6, perhaps. Anyway, it was an enjoyable read as expected. I hope I'll be able to finish the series this time.
The main thing I like about it is that even though it's fantasy it's still relatable and has realistic aspects. The series isn't about women who fall madly in love with guys they just met and they have crazy sex every chapter and it all magically works out. The series focuses on realistic romance with people who just happen to be vampires. This could have easily been about a mafia group or military guys and I would have been happy. I enjoy books like this, realistic fantasy romances with characters you will remember. You watch the characters grow and overcome their self-loathing and find balance within themselves. Of course, the whole love-triumphs-over-all trope is still there, but it didn't seem forced.
I also like the slight change in words to make them more unique. Rhage, Zsadist, Phury, Rehvenge, that's pretty cool. Then again, those might be how those words are spelled in another English dialect and my American self just didn't know lol.
OMG, OMG, OMG! I love this series so much! This whole plot was confusing with a bunch of twists and turns that I never saw coming (and I'm usually good at that) that tied together smoothly(?).
This new development, or cliffhanger, has definately gotten me hooked up for book 10! Can't wait, can't wait, CAN'T WAIT!!!!
P.S. Yes, I've read 10 books in less than a month, I do that
A classic book for Christians. I've reread this book so many times, I'm not even sure how many. I'll probably read it again sometime in the future.
And to think I thought the story was over (I'm not sure how I got that impression...). Boy, I was wrong! Burroughs has done it again! He has driven me into countless hours of procrastination (if you call reading procrastinating that is)
This is one of my absolute favorite series of this year! I'd recommend this to anyone who loves adventure, steampunk, a bit of mystery, a little crude humor, and mistaken criminals trying to clear their name. I enjoyed this collection so much and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. You can't go wrong with these books.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, I thought, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning.Be cunning and full of tricks, and your people shall never be destroyed.
Rabbits need dignity and, above all, the will to accept their fate.
It is never wrong to cry. It is never wrong to mess up. It's what you do afterwards that makes all the difference.
Busy, busy, busy, not to mention the other books I need to read for assignments. I will pick it back up sometime later.
I'm happy for Catalina and Alessandro, but I'll miss them. This book had a lot of twists and turns I almost couldn't keep up, it's awesome! No spoilers here, all I'll say is that all the entire family is comung together nicely and I like how not everyone gets along but they all tolerate each other. I really enjoy all the different dynamics that each member brings, especially the blood-related ones.
On a side note, is the next book going to be about Arabella??? I feel like she's the one I know the least about and I'd be overjoyed to finally get a longer, more detailed look at her perspective. Oh and is she going to get together with the prince??? That sounds like fun lol
This was a quick read that I really enjoyed. The plot twist was unexpected, and the ending was pretty good. Following murders from the eyes of someone who helped find the victims, but didn't take part in the actual killing was new for me. Overall, I would definately recommend this.
Cozy, fun, and full of twists!
Goodness! It has been a long time since I read a nice cozy mystery that had so many elements that I was baffled the entire time! Definately worth your time, and absolutely recommended.
I have read this book before, and I was very happy to find it again. Killing Sarai is the first book I've ever read that featured an assassin as a main character. Perhaps that is why it holds a special place for me.
I remember reading it the first time I loved it and would've given it five stars instantly, but rereading it has allowed me to notice a few little flaws. Overall, this series is still one of my favorites. I like how the writer showed a bit of what happens emotionally to victims of sex trafficking and how difficult it can be to adjust to a “normal” life and move on. I didn't find it too unrealistic and I can understand the confusing roller coaster of Sarai's emotions. I won't spoil the rest of the series too much, but I will say that there will be more portraits of abuse victims later on that show the opposite version of Sarai.
I can't even... why?... This book was, just, awesome and, just, wow. All the pieces came together and the past, present, and future were explained and it was all so unexpected and yet it made sense and yet didn't. You have to read it to understand.
When the two queens touched the mirror and it took them... just wow. I don't want to say any spoilers but it's so hard. Aelin is a mastermind! If she was evil... If she was working with Erawin or Maeve... The world would be in a lot of deep trouble. The way she figured it all out and prepared everything was just amazing. Her and Lysandra... Arobryn knew what he was doing when he put those two against each other because together they are too much!
At the end, after Maeve did... and Aelin was... and Rowan... all the armies... I wanted to cry and I was just like nooooooo!!! And yet it just made sense and... I can't talk about this anymore. If you haven't started reading this series or stopped for some crazy reason, you are definitely missing out and you need to start reading it ASAP! I mean it, start now! The journey it's taken me through, the characters that have been introduced to me, are all worth it. This series, it's world and characters, now have a special place in my heart and I won't be surprised if it's one of the few series I read over and over again without getting bored of it.
Thank you Sarah J. Maas, thank you
(This is my first real book review so forgive me if it isn't very detailed and/or helpful)
I love Ted Dekker's work! This book made me revisit some of Jesus' teaching in the Bible and look at it from the perspective of someone yearning for unconditional love like Christ Jesus'.
This book is about a young woman named Maviah who is shunned as an illegitimate daughter of the Bedouin sheikh. She is constantly reminded that she is nothing and no one loves her nor cares for her. But when her people are attacked by enemies, her father calls on her to journey across the unforgiving desert with two of his most trusted warriors, Saba and Judah, to ask for Rome's aid. Throughout the journey Maviah continues to doubt herself, until she meets Yeshua and He begins to change her mind. But going to Rome doesn't even begin to solve Maviah's problem and she ends up in even more danger and has to make choices that could be the death of her, Saba, and Judah.
Throughout the book I am draw to Maviah and the inner battle she constantly fights in. As someone who also struggles with self-confidence and self-worth, I could relate to Maviah (even though I haven't been through anything even close to what she went through). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next one.
