Okay, so this has been on my TBR list ever since I heard about it and I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve heard a ton of mixed reviews when it comes to this book so I was excited to see what my take on the story was. Leigh Bardugo is a generally new author to me, I haven’t read anything by her before, however, with the upcoming television show that’s airing on April 23rd, I couldn’t wait to launch into this series.
This book was incredible. I have to say, I had no clue what to expect when starting it. It’s not a well known book, so I didn’t really have any expectations, however, this completely blew my mind. I finished it in a matter of days (pretty much one day), and couldn’t put it down. The story was captivating and addicting and I felt stuck in the pages of the book and completely in love with the characters.
This book is kind of centered around Greek mythology. Every seven years, the Agon begins and nine Greek Gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. These Gods are hunted during the Agon by descendants of the ancient bloodlines in order for the hunters to gain immortality and power.
This novel was the perfect blend of fantasy and murder mystery. The plot line makes every second feel important and I loved every part of this book. I was constantly on the edge of my seat just waiting and needing to know more. This is definitely a must read for all YA fantasy readers!
The alchemist is such an inspirational novel through the messages it reveals. It teaches countless life lessons and I believe that it should be a book that everyone reads at least once in their lifetime.
I absolutely love the red queen series by Victoria Aveyard. It is everything I had wanted in a dystopian fantasy and while the complex history of the world of red vs. silver should have been hard to follow, it was so easy and simple to get into and was such a fun read!
