Book of a Thousand Days 56 reviews

Maid Maleen thrown on its head in this haunting twist
+ Simple read
I was a little displeased with Hale's "Enna Burning." I'm happy to say this made up for it. Hale takes the fairy tale of Maid Maleen and sets it Mongolia--with the tale's ignored maid as our main character and heroine. The story is told via Dashti's journal, an account of she and her lady's ...

Enchanting Review: Pretties
+ Pretties or is it?
+ good sequel, but not as good as the first
Pretties
Scott Westerfeld
Young Adult Paranormal
Rating: 4 Enchantments
Zane is a Pretty. However he has always been different than the stereotypical Pretty. He does not share the same attitude as them. He is more serious than the Pretties who all seem to share the same "blonde" ...

Special Indeed
+ Intense
+ We are the Borg, you WILL be assimulated.
Ever since the first book(Uglies), I have loved Tally. I love how she can always be herself and escape what other people try to force her into being. They can't force her to look a certain way or be a bubblehead. She chose that on her own, to help her friend, Shay. This book, Specials, kind of ...

Perfect Ending
+ Interesting conclusion to a fascinating trilogy.
+ A Great and Sad Beauty
I love this series and the last book is no exception. It is quite long but I was glad for the extra pages as I wanted to spend as much time as possible in this fictitious world. I am a sucker for happy endings so I was upset to hear that perhaps this wasn't going to be a fairy tale ending. I ...

The Ideal home changes
Identified as the "Companion": to Newbery-winning "The Giver" and "Gathering Blue", I picked up Messenger with high expectations. The other two were terrific, stunning in their own ways. I wasn't disappointed. Lowry's created world in which the three villages of the three stories exist is clever ...
