Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Lost Stars

Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Lost Stars

At the beginning I thought it was good, but my thoughts on it turned sour the farther I got. It has been a while since I read it, so I don’t remember everything that bothered me exactly, but I remember some. As a huge Star Wars fan, and big time reader of the legends series, I noticed a lot about this hook that was off. First of all, the story was decent, but it felt kinda inappropriate with the love story sometimes, especially since I came for a star Wars book, not a lovey dovey story. Not saying that it couldn’t have been good, just felt inappropriate scenes were there, at least to me. Second, and most importantly, it didn’t feel like Star Wars. I got the impression that the author didn’t know much at all about Star Wars... from how the universe worked at large to even small things like how combat works. In no universe would three tie fighters (still not entirely sure they were regular ties or interceptors, as the author said interceptors twice in passing and never again, and kept just saying tie fighters, so I don’t feel like she knew what those were either...) have any chance against four x-wings, if they were decent pilots, unless you had three Baron Fels in those ties, which they obviously didn’t. Not to mention an x-wing has both shield and proton torpedoes, both of which were never shown to be used. I just felt like the author didn’t do any research into the world, even easy things you could look up on a wiki or watch the first three movies. Oh, and I almost forgot, on hoth the author thought that the second person (gunner) in a snow speeder could shoot a cannon or something, but all they had was a tow cable. In all honestly, the only thing I think they got right in the book was the overall attitude of the empire. But that is all just my opinion. All I can say is if you are looking for a true Star Wars book, turn away, and go back to legends (especially the x-wing series, it’s amazing and shows TRUE piloting skills, a lot better than the two wannabes in this book)

Through the Looking Glass Illustrated

Through the Looking Glass Illustrated

By Lewis Carroll

Through the looking glass and what Alice found there by Lewis Carroll number of pages 185. The main events of my story were, Alice met Humpty Dumpty. Humpty then told her the way to find the way to find the Queens. Alice found the chess pieces and one of them was the Red Queen and the other was the White Queen. Then Alice met two knights and one of the knights wanted to capture her. Then in end Alice found the Queens again. They turned Alice into a queen! Alice had to learn all of the rules of being a true queen. I did like this book at some parts but, some of it did not make sence. When I finished it and thought about it, it all came together. The reason I liked it was because it is funny and it is how in the end Alice became Queen Alice. She was super cool about having to learn all the rules about being a queen.

By Neal Shusterman

I have read this book and all the others in its series. I think that it is probably the best book that I have ever read; and I have read about 300 books in my life. Literally Would not change a thing about it and I have no angry thoughts on this book and its series and I strongly think that the author, Neal Shusterman is an amazing author. I have read almost all of his books and you should to.

The Forgotten Door

The Forgotten Door

By Gregory A. Falls, Alexander Key

I agree with the other two reviews...the author is successful in making a boring storyline, and having a slow progressing character. I will never pick this book up again.

Three Dark Crowns

Three Dark Crowns

By Kendare Blake

Fantastic book! can't wait for the next one! When three queens want the crown, no joke, they can get it! One sister was born with powers that are strong, and great! One sister still was slowly developing hers, while the other seemed powerless, until she dug deeper into the situation. This book will have you fighting over love, and clinging to the sides of the book so hard, you leave a dent. You will support every queen with your life, and beg that they don't die.
