Review:I was looking around for books to read on amazon, when I came across this free book " Call of the Herald" I read some of the reviews and from what I read they all seemed to love it. I think someone said it was like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings... and sine I love those kind of stories,I decided to download the first book and read it. Well after the first few chapters of the book I was already hooked. and so before I even finished reading the first book I downloaded the second book... I w... Read more
Review:This third book in the series Dragon Ore (The Dawning of Power) is even better than the first book! There is a lot of adventure, a lot of action, dragons, danger, powers, fighting against the evil and trying to save all mankind. The journey is a long one... from Greatland to Firstland... escaping from enemies and making friends... the Herald's powers grow. She spent time learning to use her powers... now sh... Read more
Review:I found this book well written and liked the concept very well. The comparison and contrast with the Schooled in Magic series (by the same author) leaves this as a world I would like to read about more! Read more
Review:**SPOILER**
I really enjoyed this book. It really did seem like genuine high school students and not just another poorly written version of someone's perception of high school students.
I enjoyed the whole ghost killer thing it wasn't your usual vampire/zombie thing which is refreshing.
I did find the whole "he falls in love with a ghost" thing a little weird but it was well executed so it was a good weird.
The voodoo man thing could have been a little better but most... Read more
Review:I wish they'd allow for partial stars because although I wouldn't say it's a 5 star, it's definitely more than a 4, in my opinion.
Inspiring, emotional, and with the occasional remark/event that had you giving a little laugh out loud.
I did find some parts of the book rushed and felt that a longer scene would have really added to the story, but overall, I'd recommend this to anyone as a good heartfelt read. Read more
Review:The Archived by Victoria Schwab
5 out of 5 gnomes
The Archived gives History a whole new meaning. This is such an intriguing book with its plentiful flashbacks, insight into a grieving family, and a fantastical secret world. Mackenzie Bishop’s character is truly complex and will have you rooting for her to succeed.
This book also has a wholly unique explanation for what happens/where people go when they die. As the tag line of the book states, “Imagine a place where the d... Read more
Review:My sister recommended these books, mainly because the first book was on special price. I ended up purchasing the whole series- which was for a great price. So, for the price, it is a good read. I was looking to satisfy my reading "tooth" after finishing Harry Potter and Alchemyst series. Books were good enough to keep me going, but not something that I would re-read. I will definitely have my children these series though! Read more
