May Wrap Up

Hey guys

I have read a total of 3 books this month. One was a smallish book and two were the the standard 500 odd page book. And I'm currently 100 pages in a book.
I also ended up buying 2 books as well.

So, I'm quickly going to tell you the two books I bought then I'll get right into the Wrap Up.

The first book I bought was: Children Of Blood And Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

Look how beautiful this is, and it has this soft texture to it as well.

    Zélie remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Zélie's Reaper mother summoning forth souls.

    But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must stay hidden.

    Zélie is one such person. Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

    Danger lurks in Orïsha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her growing feelings for an enemy.

This is the book I'm currently in the middle of reading. I still have..... pages left and I'm really enjoying it so far.

Then I bought: King Of Ashes by Raymond E. Feist

This is the first book in The Firemane Saga.
    Garn once boasted five great kingdoms - until Ithrace was betrayed. It's royal family, the flame-haired Firemanes, was not even saved by its affinity with fire: every one of them was executed by the King of Sandura. Now four kingdoms remain, out of balance and on the brink of war. But there are whispers that a newborn Ithraci heir may have been smuggled away... Terrified, the four kings place a bounty on the child's head, lest the boy grow up with revenge in his heart.

    Declan is a gifted apprentice to a master blacksmith in a peaceful village learning an ancient craft - until slavers descend to capture men to press as soldiers for Sandura. forcing him to run for his life, carrying with him his priceless knowledge of the forging of jewel-steel.

    On the secret island of the Quelli Nascosti assassins, three young friends are being schooled in the arts of espionage and killing: Donte, son of a senior master: Hava, a fierce girl and gifted fighter: and Hatu, a strange, conflicted boy in whom fury and calm war constantly, whose hair is a bright and fiery shade of red...

I'm looking forward to reading this, it seems like a good book, so hopefully it is.

Now onto the Wrap Up:

The first two were books I was already half way through, and they were:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.k.Rowling

I read the remaining 300 odd pages. Obviously it was a great book, it's Harry Potter so there would be no doubt about that. I kept this rating at a 5/5 on Goodreads.

Fun Fact: This is my second favourite of the series.

City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

I read the remaining 347 pages of this. And if you didn't know what this is about:

    Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn to the Shadowhuners, a secret cadre of warriors dedicating to ridding the world of demons, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the dangers of forbidding love.

I really enjoyed this book, I honestly don't know why it's took me so long to start this series, but I'm glad I did. It's not hard to get into and there is a lot going on in here. I gave this a 4/5 stars on Goodreads.

Then the last book I read this month was:

Percy Jackson and the Sea Of Monsters by Rick Riordan

As you know I read The Lightning Thief last month, so it's no surprise I read this. I'm not going to be re-reading this series back to back, I'm just taking it slowly (like I am with Harry Potter). I didn't like this as much as the first one, but it's still such a good book. I love the way Percy narrates this series. Even though I said I preferred the first one, I still gave this a 5/5 star rating.

And that's what I've read and bought. I might have read another book this month but I've been binge watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine (what a roller-coaster the cast had!) If you haven't watched that, I really suggest you do because it's so funny.

Till next time
