The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli (2017)

Image
It’s been years since young Asha led the notorious dragon Kozu to her city. In the aftermath, almost everything was burned, including most of her body. As a way to regain her city’s trust, she has committed herself to be the most fierce dragon hunter, and her father has promised her hand in marriage to Jarek, who lost his entire family during the fire. Days before her wedding, Asha is met with a proposition by her father: hunt and kill Kozu and and her upcoming marriage will be dispersed. However, Asha brother, Dax, has his own plans for the city that Asha accidentally plays in by freeing a slave from Jarek’s hands. Now, she has to hide a slave and kill Kozu, all behind Jarek’s back. The days are counting down, and Asha is realizing more and more that there are power plays behind every move. I originally had no idea The Last Namsara even existed until one of my friends who actually knows Kristen Ciccarelli (the author) recommended it to me. This book is one of many that came out o...

Dear Martin by Nic Stone (2017)

Image
Justyce is not allowed to be a care-free, regular teenage boy. He’s not allowed to be these things because he is a person of color, and in present day America, that puts a target on his back. And on the night he’s arrested, it doesn’t matter that he’s on his way to Yale or that he is a loving person, all that matters is he’s a black boy seen with a drunk, white-passing girl at two a.m. He hasn’t done anything wrong, but he’s arrested and held for hours, only to not have any charges filed against him. In the months following his arrest, Justyce is forced to examine his relations with American culture while being in an environment that denies his struggles. The minute I heard the premise of Dear Martin I knew I wanted to read it. In the past years, the collection of published YA books has broadened in diversity, not to say that there isn’t always room for improvement. Originally, this book reminded me of The Hate U Give , one of my favorites this year. Now that I’ve read both books...

How Andrew Smith (Probably) Saved My Life

Image
This is a picture of Andrew Smith, my all time favorite author. Over the past weekend, I got to meet him, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Now, you may be wondering why this guy is  not just my all time favorite author, but also one of my favorite people, and I am going to tell you all about it. Two and a half years ago, I didn’t even know who this guy was, let alone that he wrote books. I was really big into BookTube, and even though I didn’t make videos, I loved being a part of the community. One day, I heard about Winger , and honestly I wasn’t really interested in the book. I had heard so many good things about it though that I had to read it, and I am so glad I did. Within five pages, I kid you not, it was my favorite book, and it still is today. Over the span of my life, I have read over 300 books, and I have never been more attached to a set of characters. Ryan Dean stole my heart from the minute I met him, and his story then shattered my heart into a...
