If you liked Divergent....(part 2)

Hey,
Today I'm doing another 'If you liked Divergent...You might like these other books'
So lets get started!!



Reboot by Amy Tintera
Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).

Wren’s favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she’s ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too slow, he’s always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet there’s something about him she can’t ignore. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in 
line—or she’ll have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she’ll be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.

The perfect soldier is done taking orders.

Angelfall by Susan Ee

It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.


The Knife of Never Letting go by Patrick Ness

Prentisstown isn't like other towns. Everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts in an overwhelming, never-ending stream of Noise. Just a month away from the birthday that will make him a man, Todd and his dog, Manchee -- whose thoughts Todd can hear too, whether he wants to or not -- stumble upon an area of complete silence. They find that in a town where privacy is impossible, something terrible has been hidden -- a secret so awful that Todd and Manchee must run for their lives.

But how do you escape when your pursuers can hear your every thought?








Blood Red Road by Moira Young


Saba lives in Silverlake, a wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms where her family scavenge from landfills left by the long-gone Wrecker civilization. After four cloaked horsemen kidnap her beloved twin brother Lugh, she teams up with daredevil Jack and the Free Hawks, a girl gang of Revolutionaries. 

Saba learns that she is a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. And she has the power to take down a corrupt society from the inside. Saba and her new friends stage a showdown that change the course of her civilization.







City of Bones Book Review



Hey,
I haven't been posting recently because I have been on holiday, and in result of that, I have not been reading as much. But finally, on the day the movie came out in cinemas, I finished the first book in 'The Mortal Instruments' series by Cassandra Clare.
City of Bones is a worldwide bestseller novel that is popular among teens and fans of fantasy/supernatural novels. The book was made into a movie adaptation in 2013 starring Lily Collins, Jamie. C. Bower, Lena Headey and many other well known actors. There are six books in the series (five of which are released, and the last one to be released in 2014) City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls and the final one City of Heavenly Fire due to come out in March/April next year.
      I was very excited to read this book since I heard so many good things about it, and the movie looked really good as well. I absolutely loved this book, It was thrilling, action-packed, fun and very exciting. The characters were great, the story was fascinating and the writing was really captivating. I have to say I was really hooked whilst reading this, I read the last 200 pages in 2 days, and that's shocking for me because I am quite a slow reader.
   
Characters
overall points.

  • Clary was likeable although at times she was a bit dense
  • Jace and Simon were quite witty and funny
  • Isabelle was hilarious, But from the trailer of the movie, I think they have portrayed Isabelle wrong, she wasn't at all Isabelle-like in the trailer, but we only saw like 10 seconds of her.
  • I really didn't like Alec, he was bearable near the end  
  • I do think Valentine should have been in the novel more, we saw him for like 1 chapter, there was lots of talk about him but I just wished he was in it for maybe about 2/3 chapters.
  • Magnus Bane!!!! he was hilarious, I hope he is in the other books

Plot
overall points.
  • The story was amazing
  • I really liked how Clary was introduced to the Shadowhunter world
  • The Werewolf chapter where Luke is explaining the whole Valentine/circle story is probably one of my favourite chapters in the book.
  • The Hotel Dumort scene....AHHH
  • Some parts in the middle dragged on a bit, not gonna lie
  • I love seeing the relationships grow between Jace and Clary, Isabelle and Clary, and last but not least Simon and Jace, seeing them bicker all the time was so funny.

Overall Impressions

  • I definitely am going to pick up 'City of Ashes' now, since I really loved this book
  • I really enjoyed the supernatural elements of this book
  • The writing Style really captivated me
  • THE ENDING CLIFFHANGER
  •  There were so many shocks and twists, didn't see some of them coming
  • The last 200 pages kept me up until 3 in the morning
Overall I would give this book 4.5 stars.
Thank you for reading my review for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones book review.
See you soon.
