Rick Riordan’s The Throne of Fire is a fantasy story and the 2nd book in a three book series. The Throne of Fire is about two siblings Sadie and CArter who live in the 21st nome in New York City are now on a quest to awaken the sun god Ra to stop the chaos snake Apophis from rising and devouring the world in chaos, but they must first find the three parts of the Book of Ra, and deal with Gods, Monsters and Magicians trying to stop them, So the siblings travel with the dwarf god Bes to gather the pieces of the book of Ra and travel through the river of night in the duat and awaken Ra who ends up being old and weak, then Apophis rises and a battle ensues. The book focuses on Egyptian mythology. The book was very exciting to read and had very fun and interesting characters. I would definitely recommend the series to a friend, the first person view from two people was really nice, and I could read about what Sadie and Carter are thinking. The book had some exciting plot points and battles. I gave this book a 4.5 star rating. The story of the book was fun and exciting. I liked this book very much.

So far it is really good, it's also a very dark story. My dad introduced it to me! I really like it so far! Edit: I finished the book, and it is really good. I wouldn't recommend it because it is kind of an inappropriate book.

This book is not what I originally expected. For one thing, the goblins aren't evil. Okay, fine, maybe a tiny bit. But it's not like they would kill you.... unless you insulted them. So yeah, they are kinda evil. But not as evil as I expected. Another thing, the elves are basically Victorian, except, well, more barbaric. (there's this whole chopping-fingers-off thing with the king and one of his subjects) So basically, neither side is all that great. Add in the fact that there has recently been a goblin-elf war, and a bunch of people were killed, and you get a LOT of prejudices. Both sides think the other is totally evil. So when Brangwain Spurge is sent to bring a gem to the goblin king, things do NOT go smoothly. Then Spurge goes spying, and is caught. Spurge finds himself running away with his former enemy, whose life he has just ruined.

I wanted to read this book because I thought it would be a really fun book to read. I also thought that it looked short and quick.

Goosebumps the Haunted Mask by R.L Stine is a horror novel that follows a girl named Carly that gets scared by everyone but now wants to be the one to scare people so she buys a haunted mask that comes with some unknown side effects. This novel is about learning how to just accept who you are as a person. This novel did a great job at showing the true horror of a haunted mask and it had some great twists too. I would recommend this book as a 4 out of 5 stars.

They're all AMAZING books! And, although I would not like to live in a world like in the books, I also kind of would............ It's confusing. But totally read these books! It's an INCREDIBLE trilogy!

The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu is a fantasy book with a mix of historical fiction. This book takes place all around Europe and is about Nannerl Mozart, the older sister of Wolfgang Mozart (referred to as Woferl) wanting to be known in the world, and mark her place in history. But she was a shadow of her genius brother, who could work music like magic at such a young age. So Nannerl makes a deal with a so called Prince from another world, but all is not what it seems. This book talks about many important aspects of life such as family, love, stereotypes, and jealousy. I think that this book is a must read because if it’s amazing incorporation of fantasy and reality. If you are a fan of Marie Lu’s bestseller series Legend, you would love this book because they are both great examples of Marie Lu’s style. This review was written by Akarsh.

Shortly after watching the movie and LOVING it, I got the book. And I ended up loving it even more than the movie. (The movie basically took the book and chopped all the scenes and moments in half.) The Princess Bride gives so much detail, and beauty, and descriptions and you can see everything in your mind. It is a tale of "fencing, fighting, torture, poison, true love, hate, revenge, giants, hunters, bad men, good men, beautifulest ladies, snakes, spiders, beasts of all natures and descriptions, pain, death, brave men, coward men, strongest men, chases, escapes, lies, truths, passion, and miracles." (If you read that whole paragraph I commend you.) You get to sympathize with everyone (except Prince Humperdinck, Vizzini, and Count Rugen) going from Buttercup to Westley to Inigo to Fezzik and every one of them has a story that is no less than heartbreaking, thrilling, beautiful, or painful. This book is proof that old books are just as good stories as any modern book, and you NEED to read this if you ever crave adventure, true love, or if you just need a book that you will read and re-read over and over!
