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...
I'll be honest, the month of November was a hard month here in the U.S. In my opinion, we elected someone that is really not fit to be president, and we'll have to deal with the consequences for many years to come. I didn't really feel like reading this month, but I got to seven books. The first book I read in November was the incredible Still Life With Tornado by A.S. King. I actually wasn’t even anticipating of reading this book this year, but on a whim I bought it with a Barnes & Noble gift card. I started reading it soon after it arrived at my house, and my mind was blown. It was incredible, and I really liked that it didn’t have a romance in it, but purely focused on our main character, Sarah. 5 stars. See my review here . Next I read Lily and Dunkin , the first middle grade novel I’ve read in years. Donna Gephart, the author, actually reached out to me and sent me this book with no strings attached. She didn’t even expect a review. For the mo...
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...
