Book Review: Under the Never Sky

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
4 stars
Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim.

Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive.

If they can survive, they are each other's best hope for finding answers.

"I own it and I loved it! It was a blast"

I had to admit, I didn't find it wonderful at first because it felt so short. I wanted more of them and I didn't know then that it was going to have a sequel. >.< I just found out three months ago, and so I'm writing my new blog about it. :)

Cover Opinion: It is awesome!!! The girl kind of reminded me of Angelina Jolie, with the full lips and long hair, and the cover was really cool up close because the text of the title was shiny. In my opinion, I like this cover better than the new one.

My Review: It was so fun reading the book because it had a different flair to it. It wasn't about soulmates and meant to be hero and heroine, it is how love should be formed, Aria is a very pretty lady, but Perry didn't even consider that as her asset, it was only a plus thing for him, he loved her because of her personality, morals, and for what she truly is. Perry!! <3
I didn't really consider this as fantasy novel, I'm not really sure what genre it is, because it's a mixture of contemporary and fantasy. Whatever genre it is, IT IS AWESOME!!
The fact that Aria kept pursuing to find her mother made it much more than just a lovestory novel, it had substance and passion written into it. It didn't revolve on just Aria and Perry's love story, it revolved in both of their lives, their families, and their worlds.

They weren't from the same world, Perry is kinda like a tribe man, with his brother as a chief.(there's an actual name for the chief), he knows how to hunt and has these extra senses and abilities. While Aria came from a more civilized world, where everything she needed was easily provided, they were always arguing, and I actually find that amusing ^.^

Epic smug face!!

Hahaha, It's actually fun to read couples who in LQ mode. It was much more realistic, and I view this in a pessimistic value. 'Cuz I don't like novels that only show the good parts in the relationship. DUH!

The twist in the story was epic, my mouth hung open just by the shock, it was really unexpected and surprising. I couldn't believe it actually. I can't tell what happen, I don't wanna be a spoiler anyway :)

I was preeeettty bummed out when I finished the book, my first thought was: "That's it?, No, It can't be."
It was a dissapointment back then when I didn't know it had a sequel but...

TADA DA DA!!!


Gosh, the guy in the cover's sooo hot!! XD

Anyways the second book will be out by 2013 and I can't wait for it to be out. :)

Book Review: The Iron Fey Series


The Iron Fey Series by Julie Kagawa

Wow, just wow... I am completely and unexceptionably in love with all these books! At first I kept comparing it to Alice and Wonderland, but boy oh boy, I was sooooo wrong.

Cover Opinion: I love all of the covers, PERIOD. They're cool, sleek and attractive. This series is not like those other books with cute covers and awful stories.

The Iron King (5 stars) : Hah, the first book well, I really loved it, especially because it's already thrilling the first page, I didn't even had the chance to get bored, everything was well put together, the chase in the woods was full of adrenaline, the characters seemed so realistic, and the use of words were very understandable, not like those other books with super deep english XP.

The Iron Daughter (4.5 stars) : In all the series, this wasn't exactly my favorite, because this book is almost all about Puck and Megan, don't get me wrong I love them, but I still love Ash more <3. Anyways, this was the part where Megan was at the Unseelie court, and the Iron fey are making their move to attack the seelie and unseelie court. Megan and Puck with a bit of help from Grimalkin will try to stop this.
I was really torn between Puck and Ash, right here. :(

The Iron Queen (5 stars) : This is where the action really starts, Megan is now being hunted by the so-called Fake Iron king, and I love this part of the book because this is where Megan learn to fight for herself, and not depend on either Puck or Ash to help her, she's not a great warrior but I like a girl who's not clingy to a guy, and will go and protect herself because she knows how to. This is my 2nd favorite in the series because Megan and Ash's love for each other really shows in this part of the series. At this point I've already decided to be in TEAM ASH, but sometimes life can be epic. I almost cried in this part because of Megan and Ash separating, and I said; "They have to be together!! I want a hapilly ever after!!"

The Iron Knight (5 stars) : Whoooooooo, and for the fourth book, I am completely in love with Ash! Gawd, this is my favorite part! Could you imagine that? A guy, going to the ends of the world, seeking his soul, not for himself, but for the love of his life!? I love him for this, he's totally perfect, he's willing to sacrifice everything even his own existence just to be with Megan, who wouldn't love him, and all the trials were hard but he kept going, knowing that in the end, he will be with Megan, his queen, his love, and he will forever serve as her knight.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! That really was a simple thing, it was an amazing story and I had a blast reading it.

But i feel a bit sorry for Puck, he is lovable, funny, attractive and a good friend, he kind of reminded me of Peter Pan, :) At first I was team Puck, 'cuz well, he's a cool guy who can always make you laugh[his lines in the books were awesome] you can't help yourself to actually like Puck, but there's one thing that he can't do. He's not brave enough to pass the trials the Ash went through, he said so himself in the book, you might think he cocky and a conceited[well... he really is conceited], but he didn't have the guts to go to the ends of the world to be with Megan, I'm not saying that he's a coward, I'm saying that he's just missing something.

Ash, gosh Ash, I love his full name :))), do dark and masculine :)

I recommend these books to everyone!! It's worth it :)))
