Wildcard

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on Wildcard

IMG_2113I picked up Warcross on a whim last year after I read the synopsis and thought it was interesting and I immediately loved it. Emika is one of my favourite female protagonists I’ve read this year! She was tenacious, spunky, smart and just had an attitude about her that I loved. The storyline was super interesting and I loved the gamer setting in the not too distant future. The plot was definitely engrossing, but this was one of those times where I could immediately predict how things were going to go down. Granted I wasn’t 100% accurate, especially about that ending but it was a little predictable nonetheless. I can’t wait to get stuck in to Wildcard and I am really hoping it lives up to my expectations.

Happy Reading📚

Archenemies Review

by amyleighreads1 Comment on Archenemies Review

35425827My expectations have been surpassed!

Archenemies continues a few weeks after Renegades ended. Nova has been given the task by Ace to secure his helmet and to get even closer to the adopted son of the Dread Warden and Captain Chromium in Adrian. But is she really just pretending anymore or are her feelings and loyalties starting to shift?

Everything about this novel was phenomenal. The pacing is done so well and the build-up of anticipation throughout the course of the story was fantastic.

Nova has once again proven how much of an awesome female protagonist she is! I love that after the announcement of Agent N, she lets her feeling be known to the whole organisation. She is still advocating for the rights of prodigies in a positive way without destruction and mayhem like her uncle. Being infiltrated within the Renegades has allowed her this position to instil her thoughts and opinions into a chosen few who may be able to make a difference. I enjoyed the internal struggle she has to deal with on a day to day basis. Being accepted and looked up to from the Renegades and seeing the potential but also having the other Anarchists on her back making sure she stays true to their course.

Adrian is such a wholesome character that you really want to barrack for. He is so endearing and charismatic especially after he works everything out with the Vitality Charm and how he finally gets to act as the overbearing older brother to Max. That scene where he gets emotional just be being able to put his arms around Max’s shoulders was so moving, something so small and innocuous that we would take for granted has become so much bigger because they’ve never been able to do that before. I love the relationship that Liam shares with Max and we really see the scope of it at the end of the book.

A lot of the minor characters really played a bigger role in this book. Having Dana kind of see through Nova and start to not to trust her was an interesting development. Now every time Nova spots a butterfly she has to kind of stop and wonder if it’s Monarch. I also enjoyed seeing the relationship of Ollie and Ruby grow. When Ollie grabbed Nova for a dance to ask for dating tips was incredibly cute!

All in all I absolutely loved this book. I was immediately sucked back into this world that Marissa Meyer masterfully created and I was highly entertained for mostly all of it. The overall grand scheme really sets up the books for a massive ending and I cannot wait for it to come out so I can continue on.

⭐️4.5/5 stars plots and schemes, love and loss, hidden agendas, amazing characters!

Oathbringer Update

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on Oathbringer Update

So I am only about 200ish pages into Oathbringer which is only 16% of the book 😳. I am loving the story so far but the size is kind of getting to me. I’m not really in the mood at the moment for a super long marathon read so I think I will be putting this book down for the time being and picking up some of the other books on my TBR for this month and getting some fun quick reads done. I do plan on finishing Oathbringer by the end of this month but for right now it will have to wait!

Happy Reading📚

Shadow & Night Study

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on Shadow & Night Study

IMG_2359I was a bit disappointed when I finished Fire Study but I still have hope that the series will pick back up for Shadow and Night Study. There wasn’t anything inherently wrong with Fire Study I just found it a bit more difficult to get through than the other books I’ve read from the Study Series. I love the whole premise of the books and they’ve really continued to expand and grow as the series continued. I’m still invested in the narrative and the characters, I especially like the dynamics of Yelena and Valek’s relationship. So I’m hoping the pace picks back up and I get excited about the series again.

Happy Reading📚

Archenemies

IMG_2114So I read Renegades back in September and ended up really loving it! Nova and Adrian are one of my favourite male and female protagonists for the year. The premise of the book is just so captivating, the way Marissa wrote it made you able to just dive head first into the world she has created. It’s very fast paced and action packed and I highly enjoyed the plot and the powers and how they differentiate between the characters. I am highly invested in this story and I am very excited to continue on with Archenemies and see where the storyline will go next!

Happy Reading📚
