Hey...

Hey guys I'm really sorry I haven't been on lately. I've just gone through a reading slump and actually haven't been able to read anything. I'll be posting a really bad review on a short story from The Assassin's Blade in a while (and by that I mean I haven't started writing it yet but I plan to)

City of Heavenly Fire Review

City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*Really short quick review*
So I finished this a few days ago and decided to take some time to actually write a proper review, not let the fact that the series is over to waver my opinion.

Personally, I did like the book. It was a little dragged out in places but it was a good ending to the series. What needed to be addressed was in this book. It concluded the series in a way that left me not only wanting to keep reading, but left me knowing the characters that lived have a journey to carry on, that their excitement and adventures aren't over now that everything is finished.

What I didn't like was the jumpiness. It went from one place to another very quickly and there was so many characters POV. It was lacking details in certain areas and there was an overload of details in others.

Overall a good book, good read and a great conclusion to the series

*Another post coming soon on here about the book. Just give me time okay?*

Stuff and Stuffen Stuff

Hello there inhabitants of the 3rd rock from the Sun,

(Don't even ask about the title, I don't know, I just wrote it and now I'm not bothered to change it.)

I am so so so sorry. I have had so much shi- stuff and stuffen stuff to deal with. But it is almost over now, I am off on Friday! Sure I have exams before that but let's forget about that....

I will be writing more over the summer, I have a few college courses and I am continuing my science project so yeah, that was a bad plan, but I will post more until September. In September I will be in 6th Year, the year of the biggest exams of my life, so yeah, not much posting going on then.

I will (hopefully) be in college then after next summer and I want to start youtube videos (not book ones, well, maybe some). I just have to convince Ari :P

This summer there will be:

• Morganville Series Review (Ari? Wanna join me on this?)
• TFIOS Movie Review (I'm not a crier so yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh, don't expect a sappy review)
• Perks of Being a Wallflower Book + Movie Review
• Maybe some music stuff (Ari, thoughts?)
• Some contemporary and classics reviews (maybe)
• Hitch hiker's Guide to the Universe Reviews
• I WILL FINISH THE HOBBIT
• The Eye of the World Reviews (Fantasy books, kinda like Lord of the Rings, look'em up)
• Vampire Academy Movie Review (Ari? Willst thou joineth me?) 
• Complaining about whatever weather Ireland gets (too hot, too cold, too much rain, you get the gist)
• I met Derek Landy, so yeah will tell all about that!
• I think that's enough for now, any Q's in the comments!! (Like that's gonna happen Naminé)

I again apologise profusely for my absence, but hey that's life! It might important though that I am often absent from life too... Too many things to do, see and enjoy!

Thank Naminé

Throne of Glass

Because I've recently just bought the paper back version  of The Assassin's Blade (below left) [here's the GR page and what not] I thought I'd recommend Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series!

   

           (#0.1-0.5)                                  (#1)                                   (#2)                                   (#3)

Book number three 'Heir of Fire' is being released in September of this year AND I CAN'T WAIT OMG INTERNALLY SCREECHING and I think it'll be heartbreaking good.

Throne of Glass is the first book in the series, followed by Crown of Midnight. The paper back version of The Assassin's Blade was released earlier this year (from what I know that's when I knew it was coming out).

I haven't started TAB yet but I know it's meant to be wonderfully amazing. The next two books (centre) are really f@*$%!& great and you should all read them.

I feel like these are hidden treasures. Not a lot of people have read them but the people who do usually always fall in love with them.

Enough ranting you want to actually hear about the story of the book? BLURB TIME!
(ToG blurb cause we can't have you reading the back of any other book first now can we?)

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom. 

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. 

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. 

Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

This book is LONG

GoT is a long ass book and I have exams so that sucks. But the story is still basically the same so far and I like it!

We have good reasons

Naminé and I are entering a science competition (not together but the same one) so we've been hella busy for the past few weeks. Like no-lunch-times-and-all-free-time-spent-on-this-one-thing busy. 

Science is hard and this competition wasn't easy. But everything is finished and we only have tomorrow left and then WE ARE DONE WITH IT. 

Personally, I can't wait. I'll be sad 'cause it's actually a lot of fun but stress levels were way too high.

ANYWAY, books. I'm currently reading Game of Thrones (as in I'm like 100 pages in but I've been busy) and I really love it. It is a little hard to read but I was expecting worse the way people were going on about it. So I think, if they're the kind of books you're into, you should read it. It isn't for everyone and there is sexual content and mature themes. The show is a good depiction of the book.

Basically not for the young or people who don't like these certain mature themes. (They can be triggering and that isn't something that be skimmed over. They do contain sexual assault and violence)

But good books. I like it and I love the TV show so I kinda knew what to expect. 

As I read, I'll try to keep you updated!

Later angels,

For Tessa

Hello human life forms!

Tessa has been begging me for this, so here it is her song, in my opinion!!

....Except I couldn't think of one..... (DON'T HURT ME)

I randomly thought of Ari's so.... Just wait until I stumble upon one...

So, instead, is simply a message for Tessa in the form of a song:

Thank Naminé
