Sapphique

Sapphique is the second book of the Incarceron series which is written by Catherine Fisher it was published on the year 2008.

The good
.Like the first book I liked the sentences we were given before each chapter.
.In this book there's 4 main characters (which is good to me because I always liked story where there are more than 1 main characters)Finn,Claudia,Keiro and Attia
.This time it shows the inside of Incarceron more.

The bad
.How the queen died really dissapoint me
.Not as readible as the first one.

Quick summary
Finn keeps thinking about how he left Keiro and Attia in Incarceron and how he has to pretend to be the prince,Claudia keeps trying to help Finn remember about his past reclaim his right as the next king but when a imposter appears and pretends to be the prince Claudia and Finn is in big trouble.Keiro and Attia keeps trying to find away to get out of Incarceron when they find a magician who says he has Sapphique gloves they........................If you want to find out what happen read the book.

The conclusion
Like Incarceron Sapphique is a great book it has what the first book have and more,there's 4 main characters,a big evil prison,an evil quuen with bratty son what's not to love in Sapphique but like I said before it is not readible as the first one it doesn't have that fresh feeling when you read again but still it is a very good book.

The Amber Spyglass

The Amber Spyglass is the third and final book of the series His Dark Materials series by Phllip Pullman.It was written in the year 2000 and it won the 2001 Whitbread book of the yeaar award.

The good
.The book has a very good ending
.Some part were very Heart-warming(especially the ending)

The bad
.It was the weakest book of the series
.Some part were just boring(especially chapters about Mary)

Quick summary
Lyra was kidnapped by Mrs.Coulter.She hides Lyra in a cave because the Magisterium
wants to kill Lyra.Meanwhile two angels are bringing Will to Lord Asriel.Mary went to a world where there are creatures who called themselves Mulefa.She befriended them and learn their culture.Meanwhile Will met Lorek(the bear)and showed the Subtle Knife ability he cuts Lorek armour easily like you can cut a butter.....................that's it.

The conclusion
The book is the weakest of the three but I'm really happy with the ending with what happen to Will and Lyra.The chapters about Mary is a little bit boring to me but still it shows a lot positive side.The most memorable part of the book to me is the part where they went to the world of the dead.For fan of the series you will really like the book but if not it will just be an okay book.

The Ruby Key

The Ruby Key is written by Holly Lisle in the year 2008.It is the first book of the two part series moon and sun.

The good
.The cover was nicely drawn
.The ending was suprising(in a good way)

The bad
.The story is just your average village is in danger a boy or girl travels to find something to save it.
.The character wasn't something new,I only liked the cat the others characters was just okay.
.There were four evil villains,the story had potential but sadly the story was just your normal average story.

Quick summary
Genna and Dan went to the wood at night (it is forbidden because along time ago te humans and nightling has made a vow not togo in each other time domain.the human goes out with the sun while the nightlig goes out with the moon )to get some medicine for their mother there they meet a nightling slave wo said that their villae is in danger because their village chief had made a deal with thhe nightling king Letrin to sacrifice them to make himself immortal Genna and Dan travelled to the nightling castle to make a bargain of theirow....................that's it for now.

The conlusion
Like I said beore it had potential 4 villains,a cat,a very culturize world where two type of creature an live for peace(until nw that is)it could have told more about Genna and Dan's father,the villains (beside Letrin), and about the old lady.I hope the second book will be better.
