The False Prince - Jennifer A. Neilson.

Picture Source Link Emma's Rating: 5/5 Ashvini's Rating:5/5 Emma:  This book was really good especially for a dystopian novel. This book is a great Trilogy. But, there is a problem with me and Trilogies, the thing is that I get so attached to characters in the books that when the series ends I am (in my mind) crying because the series is going to end with only three books!  I started this book because I got it as a present and let me tell you the cover looked different from what I was used to, It looked more directed to adults, but I was very wrong. Once I was done I was thanking the people that got me the book because I loved it so much! I really did love how when the climax came the book practically turned upside down (not actually though or that would have been pretty weird) and the way I felt about the book changed. Now I could try to explain how I was feeling but you would just be sitting there reading this for no reason because all people have different

There are so many books in the series. I am afraid if I start I will never finish. Ashvini: The Lord of the Rings series by J R Tolkien. Each book has like what, 500 pages?! 2. Chocolate A book you can read over and over again. Emma: The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. It was just so creative and all the fairy tales that you thought you knew tied in. Long story short READ IT it will change your life. By the way the first book is called: The Wishing Spell. Ashvini: Any of the books from Infinity Ring, and the first part of the 39 Clues series. The old Amy and Dan were s

The Iron Trial - Holly Black and Cassandra Clare.

Picture Source Link Ashvini's Rating: 3/5 Emma's Rating: 3/5 Ashvini: The Iron Trial was definitely an interesting read. A lot of people are comparing it to Harry Potter and I can see what they mean by that but The Iron Trial had a lot of differences to Harry Potter as much as it had similarities. There were many different twists to it, which really hooked and involved me into the story and what was going on in it. Whenever I felt that I could sense in which direction the story was heading to, it would turn the other way and make the unexpected, the reality. I really love when a book involves readers like that with such amazing ideas. However, at times I did feel a little bit disconnected from the book at the really scary or emotional parts. I mean, the ideas were cool and the story was interesting it just felt a little distant. Maybe, it’s because I need to read more of The Magisterium material, and am still fairly new to the whole concept? I don’t know…

The Creature Department - Robert Paul Weston.

Photo Source Link Emma's Rating: 4/5 Ashvini's Rating: 4/5 Emma: This book rocked!(and I don't mean back and forth ha ha ha). I mean, there was just so much suspense at the end of each chapter! I don't know where to start. I especially liked how there was a really interesting sentence at the beginning of each chapter that made you want to read more and more! I don't know if you noticed but also, at the beginning of the chapter were some inventions from Denki 3000 which I thought was just as awesome as the illustrations. They were so full of detail and really helped me paint a better picture in my mind. Another thing I absolutely loved about this book was that there were so many surprises, especially when you weren't expecting them. Did you know that this book as nominated for the 2015 Silver Birch Award? Ashvini: I have to say; when I first picked this book up I had my doubts. I don’t usually read books about creatures or dragons or anything l
