Puffin The Burning Maze, The Trials Apollo Book 3 (Hardcover)

Puffin The Burning Maze, The Trials Apollo Book 3 (Hardcover)

By Ben Hughes (designer) Rick Riordan

Quests, as Apollo learns in this book, are both extraordinarily tiring and super dangerous. Apollo is currently on a quest to defeat 3 emperors, also known as a triumvirate., and also restore 5 important prophecy-saying oracles. If the emperors get hold of even one oracle for too long, bad things will happen. Apollo has met of the emperors and killed none. He has, however, freed two oracles from the evil emperors. When Apollo met the previous oracle, he made Apollo's friend Meg issue a disturbing prophecy. The prophecy basically states that the roman demigod camp, Camp Jupiter is under attack. Also, Apollo and Meg must find the third emperor, who has a white horse, and get the third oracle from him. However, this mission will be harder than ever before. The third oracle is trapped in a burning maze, and the evil emperor wants to steal Apollo's godly essence and become a god himself. This time, will Appolo succeed? I liked the books in this series because they contain a reference that contains all the terms used in the story, so if you suddenly forgot something, you can just see it there. Also, the author begins the book very engagingly, unlike some other authors. This book is perfect for people who like books that contain mythology.

The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo)

The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo)

By Rick Riordan

Ahhhh…. My winter break read. Before we get started, I am just going to put it out there, Rick Riordan is an artist. (Speaking from an actual artist’s perspective). He writes with such flow and ease that it feels like he is simply moving a brush against a canvas. Too metaphorical? I know, I realized. My point is, is that Rick Riordan’s books are works of art. (Is that a better metaphor for you!?) His whole fandom is based on a sort-of fractured mythology. (That is a phrase that I just created). Now, let’s stop talking about the beautiful, enchanting works of Uncle Rick that I adore with a full passion, and start with TTOA; The Dark Prophecy. ***Characters*** As you all would know the main character is no other than (!) Lord Apollo himself, which you would know if you read the first book. In which case, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING READ THE FIRST BOOK (AND MY FABULOUS REVIEW). Apollo (or poor pimple-filled Lester) – Apollo (or Lester) was the sort of character that you could not-not like. I loved being in his first person mind and reading how his thoughts about puny mortals (which I certainly am not) changed throughout the novel. For example- “ ‘Let the girl go,’ I whimpered through the pain. ‘Kill me and let her go’ “ And then, after his life flashed before his eyes, he thought, “I surprised myself. These were not the last words I had planned.” Meg McCaffrey- Meg was pretty, um, outgoing? She was the kind of person that didn’t really care about what will happen to her. You could say that she was Lester’s (Apollo) sidekick? But technically by the book, he really is her servant. You know what, I cannot explain this in a review, so GO READ THE NOVEL! There were other characters out there like Leo, Calypso, Emmie, and that other lady that was with Emmie that I forgot her name. Was it Jorge? Joe? Yea, it was Joe. Oh, and you can’t forget my buddy Lit! JUST LISTEN TO ME AND READ THE BOOK, YOU’LL UNDERSTAND MY JIBBERING… ***Build-up*** As I said in my first paragraph, Uncle Rick’s wonderful world is completely amazing. I, if you do not already know, am a rising author. I am trying to type a wonderful, original novel. Rick Riordan is GOALS, his writing is (I repeat) magnificent. His writing flows like paint. HE IS AN ARTIST! Okay, I’ll stop with the art references. In all, I really enjoyed this winter read. It was completely amazing and entertaining. And now, I bestow upon you a five-star rating. Congratulations, you stole Lana’s heart.

Fairest (Lunar Chronicles)

Fairest (Lunar Chronicles)

By Marissa Meyer

Not for younger readers, but it's still a magical journey through the life of a super villain. You may even sympathize the Lavanna (Pardon my possible incorrect spelling) even though she made some bad choices and continued to do so.

In the beginning of the book, Queen Leah and King Stefan rule the land. Unfortunately, they have a crave for greed and all things fancy.

So when their daughter Aurora was born, the parents didn’t love her that much, three evil fairies gave the baby girl gifts, but the final cursed her to perish on her 16th birthday.

Dodging Maleficent’s evil demons and traps, the two of them work hard to wake Aurora up.

The Maze Runner 3. The Death Cure. Movie Tie-In

The Maze Runner 3. The Death Cure. Movie Tie-In

By James Dashner

The Death Cure is the final book in the maze runner series and it is a must read! The book continues the story where Thomas feels even more betrayed and hurt by everyone, causing all the Gladers and the rest of the group to rebel and leave WCKD. As Thomas, Jorge, Brenda, and Minho try to search for the Right Arm, the rest of the world is crumbling and everyone they know are beginning to fall apart and die. One of my favorite scenes in this book is when Newt begs Thomas for his death because he didn't want to be an insane crank. Although Thomas refuses to kill him at first, he eventually ends Newt's life and make amends. I love this scene because there are tons of emotions of how he loses his friend, the guilt, and how miserable and confused Thomas is. I really like Teresa because she's brave, mysterious, and has always cared for Thomas since she first met him. Before the Immunes escape, she saved Thomas life and died in his place, stating that she is sorry and she only cared for him. Overall, I think this book is just amazing and is full of adventures, emotions, and lessons about friendship.
