To kill a Kingdom review

-

 To kill a kingdom is a twist on a usual story people know as a fairy tale. It's a unique book that anyone will surely fall in love with. The story talks about a young princess siren named Lira. She has collected 17 hearts throughout her life and is considered one of the deadliest of her kind. However, one day, she is forced to kill one of her kind (siren), which leads to her mother, the queen, transforming her into the one thing they dread the most, a human. Fortunately, not all is lost. If she wants to revert into a siren, she must obtain the of prince Elian and deliver it to the sea queen; otherwise, she will remain a human forever. 

I personally loved this book. I liked all the twists and turns that it had, along with the many accounted-for suspense. I mostly liked the depth of the characters and how in tune they were with each other. Both the protagonist and counterpart brought the story together, and it was really empowering to see how good they were together and how close they got as the book went on. 

The book is well written and very interesting. It is sure always to keep you interested and wanting more. The wordplay in this book is whimsical, and you are granted a few chuckles throughout the book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is really into fairy tale-type stories that are a little more intense and action-packed. Altogether, it was an entertaining read, and I'm happy I could experience it. I would rate it an 8.5 out of ten.

    Sounds like an interesting book! Definitely something to add to my reading list. Also, just to clarify (because I was confused about the last sentence of the first paragraph of this blog), I searched up this book online and found that it is Elian's heart that Lira must obtain. Aside from that, this blog is very well written and doesn't give too much away.

    I like the idea of a fantasy book not copying the usual Harry Potter format. Nice review too. I like how you keep the synopsis short and sweet.

    For some reason, I thought of the little mermaid. But anyway, great job! It sounds very cool and suspenseful with its twists and turns. Is it like a series of books or just one book?

Mumbo Jumbo blog post

  Ishamal Reed described Jes Grew as a mysterious "plague" of rhythm, joy, and expression that sweeps across America, with its heart at Harlem. This epidemic threatened the quiet traditional ways of Western civilization because it is different and isn't really understood. But, while Jes Grew was portrayed as a fictional "disease" that became known as the Harlem Renaissance, it's pretty evident that Jes Grew never really ended, but simply resurfaced through different forms. As time has evolved, so has Jes Grew. With new forms of expression like social media, which provide new avenues for millions to share their content through dances, cooking, or simply sharing their opinions, Jes Grew has taken several forms by challenging mainstream norms.  In Mumbo Jumbo, Jes Grew is made to be contagious, which perfectly aligns with modern music and dance. Modern music is constantly changing. As new producers enter the space and add new types of sounds and beats, the mus...

Summary and thoughts on "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer --Joey Ray

-
     Note: I finished reading this a little big ago.  And I've seen the movie so many times.  I started reading Breaking Dawn (Next Twilight Book), but felt it would be weird to skip a book and write a summary and spoil things that may be hard to understand without knowing what happened in Eclipse.  So if you notice any mix ups between the movie and the book, I apologize.  But I tried to remember correctly about the book.  Enjoy!      When many missing persons cases occur in Seattle, Bella and the Cullens have no idea that they are involved with the conflict.  Suddenly Alice, Edward's sister, has a vision that seems to startle her greatly.  Bella can tell that something is going on, but Edward won't say.        Soon, Edward arranges for Bella to use her birthday gift from Esme and Carlisle, Edward's parents, which are plane tickets to Pheonix to visit her Mom, Renee.  After the trip, the Bella...

Girl in the Shadows by Gwenda Bond Book Review

  Girl in the Shadows Book Review      This book is filled with magic and courage. Moira Mitchell, who inspires to become a magician just like her father, goes on a journey to become one. She leaves home to join a famous circus despite her father's wishes. Magic soon finds itself with Moira, the kind both explainable and unexplainable. Along with magic, a hidden organization, the Prestige, is introduced into her life. There starts the power struggle of both groups for the ultimate magic relic.      This book took me a long time to finish. I feel like this plot was a bit basic and uninteresting. I feel like perhaps a more complex plot and more unexpected twists would have intrigued me a bit more. I would summarize this story as a girl who finds powerful magic and fights the antagonist for it... not a big fan of it.      Though, this story demonstrates the courage to not give up. The author demonstrates this mainly through the protagonist'...
