It engaged me so well, and the storyline was just...wow. The book is set in a dystopian world, where, there is a reality show, The Hunger Games, where, from 12 Districts, one boy and one girl are selected from each. The rule to win these Games is to kill other children/teenagers, and the last survivor is the winner. But when Katniss's little sister is chosen, she volunteers as her replacement. And that is how she lands in the terrific world of The Hunger Games. Katniss is such a delight! And Cinna was such a good character among the vile people. Peeta, though has a different vibe. I love them all so much! Jumping to the next book right away. ...more

And now, I'm left wondering, if this book of Christie's isn't as much as famous than others, and this was this....splendid, what will the famous ones be like? I loved this book. Definitely one of my absolute favorites....Papa Poirot has definitely proved that he is a genius! And I love Captain Hastings, and I hate it when Poirot hides things....So annoying....But they are lovely! I did not know that a book could be twisted so many times and turn out so splendid! I genuinely regret not reading Hercule Poirot earlier. They are gems! I LOVE AGATHA CHRISTIE. That's it. I'm a Christie fan from now on! Cheers!...more

No, Christie is such a devil. It keeps you in so much suspicion all the time. I had heard a lot about Hercule Poirot's mysteries, but now that I see it, it's just...one hell of a book. It's refreshing to be back in mystery genre, after my looooong break from mystery to fantasy. Loved it! I am left speechless!...more

Although the first one was enjoyable, this one held a lot of meaning. I loved the character development of Oraya and Raihn. The weight of responsibility and grief changed them. I loved how mysterious and, at the end, how dark but beautiful, Vincent's character was. Everything matched so perfectly. I enjoyed this one more than the first book. Also, I would love stories from other characters, for example, Septimus or Mische. This book deserves 5 stars. So good. It is such an enjoyable read. Thanks!...more

The right amount of everything- the fantasy, the political-aspect, the world-building. It just proves that this story was definitely worth a shot. I still can't decide whether I like the novella or this book more, but this was....enchanting. Callie is definitely an enchantress. And Des is even more than her. And the magic is real and works on us humans. ...more
OMG Reading from the POV of Des is even more interesting! I loved this book sooooooo much! Reading Des's tale was a thrilling experience! I loved this OMG Reading from the POV of Des is even more interesting! I loved this book sooooooo much! Reading Des's tale was a thrilling experience! I loved this novella so much more than the first and second books, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM! The story starts with Larissa's (Des's mother), tale of escaping the tyrant king, Galleghar Nyx, who also happens to be her child's father. Then we read the tale of a young child called 'Bastard' just because he doesn't use his magic, or rather, his mother doesn't allow him to. He's been known as fatherless, weak child. But then he learns about his true identity. And his mother is killed. Then rises Desmond Flynn, full of vengeance and determined to kill his father. Not to claim the throne. Joining a 'gang' as Callie calls it, he becomes a part of the army of the Night Kingdom. Until one day, he kills the king.
Hmm... KNOCK KNOCK. Callie has murdered her stepfather, Hugh Andes and needs the Bargainer's help, as he is called on the Earth.
The novella was just sooooo perfect! Can't wait to read the final book, Dark Harmony ASAP. ...more
This was blissful! There's a lot more world-building in this book rather than the first one (okay, the first one had negligible world building). As CThis was blissful! There's a lot more world-building in this book rather than the first one (okay, the first one had negligible world building). As Callie learns more secrets about her mate, Des, The Lord of Secrets, The Night King, the story grows darker and darker, there's a lot still to be revealed. The casket children, the sleeping women and the missing soldiers...all the mystery finally starts to fall into pieces, and still, there's a lot more to discover. I am reading the third book right away! I think I loved it better than Rhapsodic! ...more

It picks up right where Belladonna left off. Though the book lacked the whimsical spark that the first book had, it has more mystery and urge than the first one. And not to mention that Fate is like an annoying fly interrupting the story again and again. I cannot wait for Wisteria to come out. I am obsessed with this one, and I really want more Fate and Blythe. Let's see how they get along. ...more
I recently read Daughter of the Pirate King duology and loved it so much! So I was looking more for a siren/pirate read. Then I found this one and it I recently read Daughter of the Pirate King duology and loved it so much! So I was looking more for a siren/pirate read. Then I found this one and it was famous, so I picked this one up. I truly liked it. In fact, this was amazing. It was so close to a five star read. But I had higher expectations, and unfortunately this book did not fulfill them. Let me tell you why. 1. The book was...slow. The whole book was too slow and the ending was rushed up. Now, there is a lot of spoiler ahead. So pls stop reading if you want to avoid them. (view spoiler)[ Like, really, 30% of the book was done and we were not still at the part where Elian and Lira met. Okay, avoid that. But can you avoid the fact that 60% of the book was on Saad where Elian still doesn't discover who on the earth Lira was? And then, in the last chapter, everything hushes. They fight, the war is over, Lira is the Sea Queen. ALL. IN. ONE. CHAPTER. I mean, seriously? Are you just kidding me? 2. Hushed up romance. You will expect romance when you read the blurb, would you not? And there was romance, but forgive me for saying so, it is....terrible. I mean, out of nowhere they are kissing and then they are fighting each other and then again kissing?? Literally, it made NO DAMN sense. (hide spoiler)] Overall, I loved the politics and the whole setting of the book. I loved the characters. But I feel that the book could have 2 parts. Other than that, I loved the book. ...more

This book was a very beautiful read! I loved the whole Full-blooded Fae and prophecy part. It was really nice, though Arwen was a slightly naive character that might at some times seem too young, she was a lovable character altogether and I loved Kane even more! He's my fav character, alongside Mari. Arwen wasn't exactly a strong female character, but she was...different. Kane was...magnificient! Mari was a chaotic and cheery, and always kept the atmosphere light! Loved the characters, the plot twists. I hope the next book will reveal the answers to so many questions this book has formed. The story was rather slow at the beginning and middle, but as it approached the later parts, it became fast paced and more action, and gave more fantasy vibes than from the beginning. So, read this book. I loved it overall, there's definitely a need for improvement, but somehow, it manages to become interesting. ...more

When I read Caraval, the first book in the series, I thought I loved Once I finished this grand masterpiece of a series and I'm not done with it yet! When I read Caraval, the first book in the series, I thought I loved Once Upon A Broken Heart (that's the spin off, but I accidently read it before this one, and LOVED IT SO MUCH!) more, but now I'm not sure which wins. Seriously. Now, Legendary was a masterpiece of a book, but this one.... IT BLEW MY MIND! Loved the ending so much! Now, a complete guide to Stephanie's caraval world: What to expect 1. A fairytale premise 2. A not-at-all fairytale plot 3. Thrilling twists that will blow your mind 4. Characters that engage you so much you forget you're in the real world. 5. Unforgettable Romance 6. Jacks and Legend (which are my favorites of both the books)
Reading order: 1. Caraval 2. Legendary 3. Finale 4. Once Upon A Broken Heart 5. The Ballad of Never After
Now, I read the OUABH series first, and got major spoilers, so I would recommend reading Caraval series first, and then OUABH....more

Loved it so much that I cannot put it into words. This definitely one of absolute favorites in fantasy. Coming to the story, I loved it! The plot twists, the thrill, the magic, and the romance was so refreshing. Loved Dante and Tella. (Loved JACKS more, though, but he's Evangeline's.) The revelation at the end (more like towards the end) made my jaw drop. I can't wait to read the next book! Off I go!...more
