Legend Series (Finally)

This series was absolutely amazing.  You fall in love with the characters as you go along with them on there never-ending adventure of horror, love, sadness, and friendship.  These books make you feel as if the characters were part of your life.  I cannot tell you how much I liked these books!  Day and June are amazing as they go through so much.  This books will constantly put you on edge of your seat, and sometimes make you want to through throw the book across the room or say no as you cry your eyes out, but they are such good books and I highly recommend them.  Amazing job for your first books Marie Lu! (I hope I get the opportunity to meet you)

I know I have read a lot of great books lately (I guess it has been luck) but I find that each new story I fall in love with it for a different reason.  Sometimes the characters or what the characters go through and how they come out from it or just the whole story line, but no matter what book I read I find that I fall in love with all the books I read for several different reasons.

It is summer now (YAY!!!!), and I plan to read a lot this summer, so please keep checking in.  Hope you have a great summer and keep reading!

P.S. I wish I could have done a video for these books, but I am on vacation so I don't have access to a video camera.  I may still make a video on these books when I get home so stay posted!

The Acsendance Trilogy

Summary first, then I will tell you my thoughts.  This series starts out with a boy of the age 14 and he is an orphan whose name is Sage.  He is then taken with a few other orphans with a man who is planning on making one of them the prince who has been missing from there country of Carthya and assumed dead.  The series starts from there and goes on from there.


This series has taken me on an amazing journey that I will not soon forget.  It is definitely one of my favorite trilogies I have read.  After you read it the characters will stick in your head and what they went through will be too.  You will constantly be put on the edge of your seat while reading it and I just fell in love with all the characters. I highly recommend these books (as you can already notice)!  I cannot tell you how much I adore these books now.  Extraordinary job Jennifer A. Nielson with these books and someday I hope to meet you to tell you how much I loved your books!


I have also learned a lesson that is pretty valued in the reading world: not everyone likes the same books that you do.  Sometimes your favorite book is someone's least favorite, but that is okay because everyone has different tastes and what really matters is that you got to go on an adventure that will always be held in the pages of that book that you love that you can experience over and over again.  This is a very hard lesson, trust me on that, but it is a very great lesson to learn as you go on reading books.


Now I am going to start reading the Legend trilogy and after I finish it I promise I will right a review! ( I literally just finished the last book of the Ascendance trilogy like five minutes ago, so I promise I will write a review as soon as I get time after I finish this new series)


Please keep watching and please write comments on books that I should read and add to my never ending reading list ;)
