Fire

Hello everybody,I'm know you're probably tired hearing me apologize so instead I will cut to chase and just write my post as fast as possible.I read a book named Fire it is the prequel of the book Graceling which I haven't read yet since I didn't notice this book was a prequel.This book is written by Kristin Cashore and it was published in the year 2009.

The High and Low
.Fire and Brigan suprising has a nice chemistry.
.It has a nice setting.

.Didn't quite like the supporting characters.
.The story felt incomplete and rushed near the end.

Quick Summary
Fire is a half human half monster which enables her to control people with power and beauty.Luckily she will also use it to protect herself because she keeps feeling guilty about what her father did.One day she found a hunter roaming around the woods,she quickly contolled him and brought him to house.There her best friend Archer decides to lock him up for the night for further questioning unfortunately he was found dead tomorrow.They decided to meet the ex wife of the king incase she has some information about the hunter.There they meet the king and his brother Nash and Brigan.Nash quickly grows fond thanks to her beauty but Brigan absolutely detest her thinking that she is just like her father...............That's all for now.

The Conclusion
Fire started pretty strong start.The story was pretty nice the characters were solid especially the two main leads and the setting was somewhat interesting.However near half of the book unlikable supporting characters emerged which simply felt dull and pointless and near its end the story completely lost its steam making the ending felt rushed and somewhat incomplete.The book felt thta it was ten chapters short to many parts were cut near the end and it made me feel like tha author simply couldn't handle the material she had.Fire was definitely disspointing since it received glowing reviews but then again its not like I expected anything from it when I bought the book.

The Chaos Numbers #2

Before I start I want to apologize for writing my post slowly I just seem to have no time to read books lately.Anyway you may noticed that I never read Numbers #1 yet since there isn't any post abut it actually I didn't notice that it was the second book of the series when I bought it on a sale.Luckily you don't actually need to read the first book to fully comprehend the story.The book was written by Rachel Ward and was published in 2010.

The High and Low
.Great story concept

.Dull characters
.Didn't quite like the ending.

Quick Summary
Adam has an amazing ability like his mom he can look at people an see their death dates.One day Adam needs and his aunt need to evict from their house and went to live in a city for a while.Weirdly all of the citizen there have the same death dates.Maning there will be something big happening on the date that could wipe all of the citizen in the city.There he meets a girl named Sarah who seemed to be afraid of him because she kept seeing him in her nightmare............That's all I'm going to write.

The Conclusion
The book really had a great concept.I found the story be interesting and slightly refreshing to the clutter of young adult books on the shelves in the bookstore.Unfortunately I found the character to be slightly dull.It is especially apparent because the story.The most likable character was Val(Adam's Aunt)was seriously underplayed.When the story reached the ending it lost a bit of its steam and settled for an unsatisfactory ending.Truthfully the book is pretty good but with its great story I really hoped for a great cast of character and a strong ending.Nonetheless it is a decent book to read for someone who's wishing to read something a little bit different than the Hunger Games/Twilight clones on the shelves.
