Review: Fire by Kristin Cashore

Fire (Graceling Realm, #2)Fire by Kristin Cashore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my freaking God! I a freaking in love with this book! I think that it might have actually been better than Graceling! I freaking loved it! At first, with Archer, I thought that I was gonna want Fire and him to be together but, boy, was I freaking wrong! I changed my mind right after she met Brigan because I thought that he was cooler than Archer, but once we got to know him more, his level of awesomeness, like, broke the scale for awesomeness, he was that cool. My favorite parts of him and Fire together were when they were looking at the stars and talking or right towards the end of the major thing that happened, you know, towards the end of the book. Or at the end, when they were in the green house and she tells him that she is sad and he asks how he can make her not sad and she says that his kisses always make her feel better. I freaking loved this book because of all the action that keeps you hooked till the very end, and when you finish, you are left wanting more of the story. I love books that always leave me wanting more, because it really proves and shows how good the authors writing is and I just freaking love it. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. I encourage you to read it. You don't even have to have read Graceling to read this; it's an entirely different concept to the story, though if you do read Traveling, it may make a small small amount of more sense in one part of the book.
All in all, a FANTASTIC read. I really enjoyed it, and I hope that you pick it up.

Review: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

The Fault in Our StarsThe Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As it says in the book, "WHAT IS THIS LIFE ANYMORE?"! Why, John Green, do you have to be such a brilliant writer that writes tragedies!? It makes the tragedies even more tragic and even more beautiful. (view spoiler)
What is amazing about this book is that it makes you cry for the characters, and what they go through. I can honestly say that this is the first book that I've read that made me cry for the characters losses. It is just such a beautiful story!

What is even more beautiful about this book is that the characters, i.e. Hazel, Augustus, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster, Mr. and Mrs. Waters, are real. They have amazing depth and go through struggles that I can't even begin to imagine. It's just so beautiful. I know the I'm using the word beautiful a lot, but I don't know what else to describe the story as other than beautiful.

This story will grip you from the very first page, and keep you gripped until after the end of the story; I had to write this review a day after I finished it, just because I couldn't produce an actual thought other than AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WWWWHHHHYYYYYY! It's just so amazing, and I know that I say read this if you haven't in a lot of my reviews, but with this, didn't even hesitate; go now and read it and keep it and love it so much. You will most defiantly not be disappointed; there is hype for this book for a reason.
