Raelia by Lynette Noni This book is #2 in "The Medoran Chronicles". I read the first book Arkarnae last month where it was recommended in an Aussie Book Lovers group on Facebook. I absolutely loved both of these - as in 5/5. This series follows are girl who goes to a different dimension and in this other dimension there is magic and bad guys. She attends a school in this alternate dimension where she learns to control a magic gift. I really enjoyed finding out more about these characters and absolutely adore all the main ones. My heart raced multiple times and I totally cried at others. I love this author and can't wait for the third book in this series and any future books she releases.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by Jack Thorne, John Tiffany and JK Rowling I honestly enjoyed this book. When reading this it is very important to remember that 1) this is a play NOT a novel like the previous Harry Potter books and 2) this play was not written by JK Rowling - it was based on a story she wrote for the purpose of being turned into a play. I personally find plays hard to read and I have done since I first read one when I was around 8years old. I didn't particularly like what happened with Harry, Hermione and Ron in this and wish we got to see more of what happened between the final battle and the start of this story. I did enjoy learning more about Albus and Scorpius though and thought their adventures were pretty cool. I super wish that a different villain had been used because so over he-who-must-not-be-named. All things considered gave this 3/5 - mainly due to the fact it was a play and not a novel.
The Crown by Kiera Cass This is the 5th book in The Selection series. I super loved the first three and was happy with how they finished. While I do like reading this follow on to do with their daughter I think I could have easily not read these last two and not have missed anything. I did like the plot of this book and the character development. I adore the authors way of writing and just find it easy to fall into and not want to put the book down. This book go 4/5 for me. Overall I'm glad this series has finished but look forward to reading different books from this author.
Hopeless and Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover I have heard great things about this author and her writing style did not disappoint. I saw Losing Hope super cheap at a book store and picked up without realising it was the second in the series. In July I got gifted the first one at last and was really eager to get into it. I read these books quickly but did find them slightly predictable. I wish that the characters actions had felt more believable and that Dean Holder did not come across so abusive as I don't think that was the intention. Again I enjoyed these books but I wouldn't reread them. I want to read more by the author and hope I get more out of her others - she has about 30 more to choose from. 3/5 for both of these books.
Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton This book was awesome. I love YA and I love the fantasy genre. This book focuses on a bad ass female named Amani. She escapes her small hometown, finds the love of life and fights against an oppressive regime. I wish there was more character development or maybe chapters written from another point of view. I raced through this book and am honestly so excited to the sequel to come out in 2017. 4/5
So this ended up being super long. I will work on that. I also forgot to take pictures of my books this month but I will make sure I do next month. In the future I might do a recap every 3 finished books to keep these shorter. We shall see. x
