Saga Vol 4

Author: Brian K. Vaughan 
Artist: Fiona Staples
Genre: Graphic novel Sci-fi
Original publication date: December 2014
Book description: the tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the universe. As they visit a strange new world and encounter even more adversaries, baby Hazel finally becomes a toddler, while her star-crossed parents Marko and Alana struggle to stay on their feet.

 Thoughts:

 Each volume is getting shorter. I am very well acquainted with the characters, Alana is having a difficult time at work and she makes bad decisions. We have several very realistic adult turmoils:
-Drug use
-Feeling trapped in a work you feel is not for you
-Wanting to do something that makes a big difference in the world
-Fight against the consumption of junk food
-The feeling of an established couple drifting apart

 We have the family trying to have a normal life, but they have several people chasing them. Robot Prince, Gwendolyn, The will's sister, and then we have the mention of a radical Robot peasant who decides that giving a hit against the royal line of his planet is the best idea.

We see people make bad decisions, a person who the family has trusted betrays them while trying to save their own lives. She gives away their existence, the location of where the family lives and a new danger befalls them!

 I am loving this very well.
As usual, the plot has very slow-moving, we always just see ore little things happening but the real story focus is the characters. 
This book is covering my goal to continue my started series, I really need to make an effort to finish the started series, I really am getting annoyed to have so many of them started and not finishing it!

Howard  Genre: Retelling, Romance Original publication date: January 2017 Book description:  In this modern day spin on Leroux’s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she’s trying to hide.

Books carried over from June

Image
I am sounding like a broken record by now. There were a few books I did not get to from my June TBR, not for any particular reason I do want to read them. As part of my 2020 resolutions I have to get through all my monthly TBRs I mean I can still DNF.  So that means that when I do not read a book in the set timeline (usually I only set a monthly TBR) I MUST read it in the next one in addition to the normal TBR set. So the books from June I need to get to: First off I began one and barely got 100 pages into it, that will be the first one I finish this month: *The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson This is the final installment in the trilogy, I am enjoying it very much, not even sure why it's taking me this long to get through it. There were also plenty I didn't even begin so here they are, the second month they're included in a TBR this time I will read them! * The eleventh metal by Brandon Sanderson This short story I will not read until I finish the hero of ages so I need ...

The Blood of Olympus

Image
Author: Rick Riordan  Series: The Heroes of Olympus #5 Genre: Fantasy Original description:  Nico had warned them. Going through the House of Hades would stir the demigods' worst memories. Their ghosts would become restless. Nico may actually become a ghost if he has to shadow-travel with Reyna and Coach Hedge one more time.

He will complete his line of the prophecy: To storm or fire the world must fall. Reyna fears the ghosts of her ancestors , who radiate anger.

A Dark, Dark Wood

Image
Author: Ruth Ware 308 pages Genre: Mystery Thriller First Published: 2015 Book Description (Good Reads):  In a dark, dark wood Nora hasn't seen Clare for ten years. Not since Nora walked out of school one day and never went back. There was a dark, dark house Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen do arrives. Is this a chance for Nora to finally put her past behind her? And in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room But something goes wrong. Very wrong. And in the dark, dark room.... Some things can’t stay secret for ever. Points to consider: Plot: 8.0 The storyline starts very classically. Giving the hints that something happened a decade before and our main character Nora, her inability to move on. Then giving small hints of what it was, you get the picture soon enough is complete as the clues start to come to us as we read.  The plot twist is given enough hype to make it interesting as you go towards it. But the ending is not al...

The Raven King

Image
Author: Maggie Stiefvater Series: The Raven Cycle #4 Genre: Magical realism Original publication date: April 2016 Book Description (from Good Reads):  All her life, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love's death. She doesn't believe in true love and never thought this would be a problem, but as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she's not so sure anymore. Thoughts: I really love the story mainly due to the characters. This being a reread its obvious that  I will not be objective (when am I, really a 100% objective?).  There is a lot of things happening, for starters, there is a new enemy, this time there is a weird team of bad people in Henrietta. They seem again a bit like the typical enemies, people obsessed with magical artifacts and money with a shady moral compass.  There is a new friendship flourishing extremely fast.  The relationships that were being hinted and almost happening tak...
