February Wrap up and Friday Reads (2/28/14)

This month has been hit and miss when it comes to reading. I read 3 (and got halfway through #4) books this month and 2 of them were not very good....*Sigh* What a downer....Ah well...Let's get into it.

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare: This is the first book I read this month,  and as much as I wanted to like it, is as much as I hated it....I have never face-palmed so many times while reading a book in my entire life...I was so fed up with it, I skimmed the ending. I will not be purchasing the next book....and personally I don't know if I even want to check it out at the library....Such a failure...-____-

Daughter of Oreveille by Tricia Ballad: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and I was excited to read it....but then I started reading it and I was sooooooooooooo frustrated with it that I couldn't even finish it. There was no plot, I didn't care about the characters and I just had no idea what was doin'...Bah! (I DNF'd it)

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas: FINALLY!!! A GOOD FRIGGEN BOOK!!!! I have been fan-raging about this book (it's a step up from fan-girling XD) since I finished it. I need Heir of Fire ASAP!!! *dies*

A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin: I am still reading this book....GAH! I am about 53% done, so that's cool..but I have a ways to go still. It is starting to get good (I might have said that last time..?) so hopefully I can get through the rest of it quickly. I already have 3 books picked out for March, and I want to get to those ASAP!

Well that's all for now!~ I'll see ya'll in a few for my March TBR!
Peace out chickadees!

Crown of Midnight--A Reveiw! And a fangirlgasm *NO SPOILERS*

NO SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!

From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul black as pitch.  Assassin Celaena Sardothein won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil.
     Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her clostest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiance-not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart.
     Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie...and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.

*5/5 Stars*

 This book......Holy shit.....This book.........I laughed, I cussed, I squee'd and face-palmed soooooooooooo many times. This book was so good, and so many things went down! Secrets and truths came out and a romance came into fruition~ So many good feels!! And then tragedy strikes and shit hits the fan.........and I just read it all with my jaw dropped. Like literally, my jaw was on the floor....the whole time. Holy shit balls.....The things that happen.......And the mysteries and secrets!! Let me just say, "OoO."

The characters, like always, are bloody brilliant. The character development just gets better and better. As secrets become known, we get a deeper understanding of our characters and how complex they are. I live for the characters in this book. I love every single one of them and I love hating the ones I'm supposed to hate. I'm super curious as to what happens to them next.

There wasn't as much world building in this book, but there was a lot more lore. We learn more about Elena and Gavin, heritage of the royal family, magic, the witches and the Fae. I love that we are finally getting more of a glimpse into the fantasy and the magical elements of this world and this series. We got a small taste of it in the first book, but the second one......All the magics!

So I made a post a couple of days ago fangirling about this series and how the next book, Heir of Fire, is coming out in September. After having finished this book.................................................Can't we just skip all those months and get to September already?!?!?!?! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I need it now...........T^T Why do the gods hate me so?! -3- (<---that's a sigh/pbbhhh face) I don't think I can handle the wait.....I pray to the book gods that I can get an ARC (advance reader's copy) so I have it...and then I can buy the finished copy because OBSESSION. O-O (lol)

Well....that's all for now. I really hope those who haven't read this series......DO IT. DO IT NOW!!!! I will find you and force it into your brain and eye spaces! >____< READ IT! 

Update: I have read 4/10 for my fantasy books challenge!! And I have read 6/25 books for my book reading challenge!! I'm so proud of me!

I will see you all tomorrow with my Friday reads!~ Until next tomorrow!~ Jus!

Throne of Glass~ The REVIEW!!~~

Synopsis: Throne of Glass is about an assassin named Celaena Sardothien. She has been sent to the salt mines, a prison, for her crimes until she is freed by the crowned prince to fight in a competition tobecome the King's Champion.  The world has lost its magic and is now filled with corruption, dangers and a new threat. As something starts to kill off her competitors, Celaena has to find out who is killing everyone while fighting to win her freedom.

I. Loved. This. Book. I devoured it. I had first heard about this book on Regan's Youtube Channel PeruseProject. She raved about this book so much...I needed it....So when my Japanese club went to Chicago for a trip, I looked frantically for a Barnes and Noble. I was sad that I had to wait as long as I did to read it, but it was totally worth it. It was a page turner and had my interest from the first sentence. The characters are so interesting and Celaena is hilarious!! She is my spirit animal. Like if I was athletic, we'd be the same person. Both sarcastic, love to read, love frilly clothes and have the same eye and hair color. Also, we think a lot of the same things. In one part she mentions skinning a guy and I remember thinking, "Oh my gosh!!! I've threatened someone with that!!" (and now you all are probably scared...oh well..I'm a violent person. XD I just don't follow through with it. Haha)

The world that Sarah J Maas has created is really fantastic. I love all of it. It actually kind of felt...homey to me. Is that weird? Probably. I just love everything about this book. The love triangle in this book is also fantastic. It's not one of those in your face kind of things, which I usually find kind of annoying. I love the interaction between the characters in the triangle as well. 

I guess this book was mostly world building..which in retrospect, it was. But I loved the world, so I guess I didn't really notice it too much. The second book, Crown of Midnight, which I have coming in the mail, is supposed to be even better than this book......I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Also, I heard that this is supposed to be a seven book series...wow my gosh....I'm so excite!!!!

I give this book 5/5 stars on Goodreads
Well, until next time!~ Probably with my January wrap-up!
Tootles!~ <3
