My Rating: ê ê ê ê ê +

My Review: This was a wonderful sequel with many twists…some of which I could see coming because they were either painfully obvious or foreshadowed…or I’m psychic. Lol. I love all pf the characters, especially Will. I’m totally falling for him, and I’m playing Taylor Swift “Spark Fly” in my head…”Get me with those green eyes, baby…”. He and Ellie are just funny and awesome together. And Cadan is so mischievous and sweet at the same time. He can’t possibly be totally demonic! And the new character Ava is pretty tough. Yes, this book was 516 pages long, and it took me a week to read, but it was 516 pages of awesomeness. Since this is only a trilogy, I’m happy this get a lot out of each book. It didn’t drag on, no, it was epic. I’d say I can’t wait another year for the next one, but I really wouldn’t want it to end so soon. Great series, and I recommend it to anyone!

Cover Art Review: Beautiful semi-metallic gloss. I love the dark blue color and the column appears crystalline. Same model as on Angelfire. I love the font of the title.

Reviewing on Good Reads and Shelfari for now

I will be putting all of my reviews on Goodreads and Shelfari. I kind of give up on blogging...I was never really into it, but I will still review books. I'm just too lazy to put it on my blog that nobody ever reads.  I will be reviewing Wings of the Wicked next. It's awesome so far!

My Rating: ê ê ê ê ê

My Review: James Patterson certainly know how to mix humor, fast-paced action, and magic with a horrible evil, and a scary society. This dystopian story has some thing in common with other ones, but is still vastly different in how it’s executed. This 3^rd book it just as good as the 1^st two. It’s in present tense, so how feel like it’s happening and you don’t want to stop because you got to find out what happens next. I’m a huge fan off James’ Maximum Ride series, and this series seems to pull some of the best stuff out of both MR and Daniel X, but with a dystopian twist and magic.

I love how JP changes the names of book series, TV shows, Celebs and other stuff in pop culture just slightly that it’s easy to guess who or what he means. In the back of the book they have all the banned thing and It’s fun to read those. It’s scary to think one guy could just take over the country and take away everything we ever loved. I doubt that could really happen, but you never know. This guy is worse than Communism or Hitler. This guy is against art and culture, not just one people, but all.

Read this series. You won’t regret it. Especially if you love dystopian fiction.

Cover Art Review: Not to fond of the big letters, but like the fire and the girl even if the are on a big F for failure. lol
