Mini Reviews (1)

I read so many books and don’t get the chance to read them all so I’m going to be posting a few mini reviews every fortnight or so now so that I can share the books with you and not be weighted down by reviews.

I’m a huge fan of Cassandra Clare’s books and so I was really pleased when I heard that she would be releasing monthly installments written about Magnus Bane. 

I liked seeing more of Ragnor Fell and Catarina Loss, who aren’t major characters in The Mortal Instruments series. Ragnor, particularly, stole my heart. I do love that little green warlock!

I loved this first installment and couldn’t stop laughing when reading it. I think the majority of lines had parts highlighted on my Kindle and I raced through it really quickly. I’m very excited to read more installments now. 

I loved The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer so had high hopes for the sequel.

This was spookier and more disturbing than the first novel and there was a lot more action. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it ended on such a cliffhanger that I thought I was hanging from a cliff. Seriously.
I need The Retribution now!!

Summary from Goodreads:

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . .

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

I thought I’d reviewed Cinder a long time ago but then realised that I hadn’t, so here I am! I loved the world that was created in Cinder. Meyer has given the reader wonderful world building that makes it easy to understand the world that is written. 

I really liked Iko and she was probably one of my favourite of the minor characters. 

There were so many twists and turns and I was interested throughout. I can’t wait to read Scarlet now!
