87. Manners & Mutiny - Gail Carriger

An end to an era.

If I'll be completely honest, this book was great until maybe the last two chapters. She ended up with the guy I liked best for her and graduated and all those good things, but she then just kind of decided to sit around and do nothing because her services weren't needed.

What the hell are you trying to do to me?

You spend four books getting her to be so great and awesome and then you give her a job where all those skills are now useless and not needed.

Thanks.

That being said, no matter how angry I am, I still love this series and all the characters in it.

86. Maximum Ride - James Patterson

This book was a reread for me. I read it long ago and half of the second book so I'll be on my way to reread that soon as well.

I remember loving this book so much when I was little - I think I read this when I was in grade 7 or 8. My brother had got the books from somewhere (I can't remember any part of if they were from the library, a gift, or he begged my parents to buy them) and when he was finished with the first trilogy, he told me to read them. Obviously, I never finished it, so when I found them all matching paperbacks for $5 at the used book store in my city, I needed them.

I've got to say it didn't pull me in as it did when I was 13 but it was a cute read. It was easy, quick, and I did enjoy it. My original rating was five stars but after the reread I changed it to four stars. I'm sure if I have kids, and if they're anything like me, they will love this as one of their first reads.

I'm still going to read the rest of this trilogy, and I have the first two books that come after these three so I'll read those too. When I go back to the used book store I will check for more because I don't think this series can make me angry enough to stop reading this story.

There are some other books I'll read between these books but when I need s fast, light read I'll definitely pick up this series. Stay tunned.

85. The Lost Hero - Rick Riordan

So, Rick, here we are.

I knew that I needed to read this and here we are. I've read it and get ready for my thoughts. Percy Jackson series is one of my favourite series of all time. I've read it twice and I was getting into the mood to reading it again and I told myself to stop. You finally have the entire Heros of Olympus series - I bought them over Christmas break 2018 - so you should read something new.

Yes, I was going to like it. I knew I would. My brother loves the series and considering some of the characters reoccur in this series, then I would like to read that.

Boy, was all of this an understatement.

Percy Jackson is missing and a dude named Jason shows up with new friends Piper and Leo. These three show up at camp and get a quest of their own in like five minutes and leave the next morning. (This was like the only issue I had with this book... like give them a week?) However, this book was so long I see why he did it this way.

I gave it 5/5 stars because obviously and added it to my favourite books list on Goodreads. I really liked most of the villains - King Midas was the best honestly - and the dragon was awesome. Poor Leo, we need to protect the baby. Piper though is honestly my hero, she's the daughter of the Goddess of love and she's badass about it. Really comes into her own skin and I love her for it.

Please read this and Percy Jackson. It's the best thing ever. I'm off to read the next one now.

84. Nevernight - Jay Kristoff

Nevernight took me so long to read. Not going to lie, the first 2/3 of the book is basically just information. Most of it is excellent information, things you need to understand for sure. However, that's why it took me so long. It was a tad boring.

The footnotes too, those were weird at first but like I get it. I saw why we needed them and I appreciated them.

Her first day in the Hall of Songs was wild and when I describe this book to other people I tell them about this. They're always like oh assassin, can't be that bad. Assassin books are weak these days. But noooOOOOoooo she gets her arm chopped off and it's gross and intense and scary as hell.

Also, Tric is the best thing this book has to be honest. There are some smut scenes for those of you who really need the action in your life. So basically there's something for everyone. Sex, violence, people dying, magic, a cat who's not really a cat, a wolf whos not really a wolf, even a lesbian.

The last third of the book, as soon as she gets kicked out of the assassin school, fuck that's good.
 SO WORTH the wait. I needed this book in my life. I will be continuing on to the next book and I am pretty sure I will end up reading the third book when it comes out too.

More footnotes and adventures with my favourite assassin. And her cat who is not a real cat. I hope the traitor comes back too. They're cool.

On to the next! I gave it four stars also because like there was a lot of downtime that took me a lot of will power to power through it. But still worth it.
