Red Queen Series by Victoria Aveyard
Queen Song - Book 0.1 Rating: 3 Stars Length: 3 Days to Read Ummm, I don't really know what to say about this short story. It took me a while to read it since it was very hard to get into. It was a descriptive story, and the current events were not written out in details. (I don't know how else to put it). It begins with Coriane and her life. She ends up in court and Tiberas and he fall in love. They get married (which makes her a Queen) and have Cal (the outcast prince who i

Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas
Throne of Glass - Book 1 Rating: 3 Stars Length: 8 Days to Read This is the first book of the series, and I liked it. I don't know why so many people gave it so many stars. I would have given it 4 stars, but I am left with unanswered questions (which will most likely be answered in the upcoming books, but still) I am fine with opened endings, but I still feel like I don't know anything about the main character. Why did she become an assassin? Why were her parents killed? Who

It is until the end where the boy doesn't need the tree anymore because he can no longer offer him anything. I am

The only thing he is good at is memorizing famous people's last words before they die, which I think it pretty weird. He

When I started reading it, I was so close to stopping, but I knew I had to continue since my friend recommended this series. It was so bad. The thought process was so jumbled and it literally hurt me to read it, but I pushed through. I was glad I did. It is about a young girl named Ari who finds out who her real parents are.
