The Darkest Legacy by Alexandra Bracken Review

The Darkest Legacy by Alexandra Bracken ★ ★ ★ ★ This book picks about 5 years after  In The Afterlight . Zu is now 17, and has become the spokesperson for the government, helping give Psi kids the same rights as everyone else. She is accused of committing an act, she definitely didn't do, she is forced to go on the run once again, only this time with strangers. Zu finds herself on the run with two not very trusty worthy allies, Roman and Priyanka. As Zu travels, she grows closer to people she knows she shouldn't trust, meanwhile uncovering even darker things happening right underneath the government's watchful eye. Zu must again fight against forces who try to make Psi run back into hiding and save her friends. Roman, whom I love, and his and Priyanka's friendship, is adorable. I liked the quips between the three and especially when Liam entered the story. I liked how the relationship with Zu and Roman didn't happen until 400 or so pages into the book, ...

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor Review

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had no idea what this book was about going in. I was pleasantly surprised. My only regret is that I read it so far and the story was over so quickly. I can look forward to Muse of Nightmares. This cover is gorgeous and it pleases me that the sequel matches up with this cover. “I turned my nightmares into fireflies and caught them in a jar.” Laini Taylor's writing is so beautifully written and lyrical. Every paragraph there was a sentence that I would want to remember. The scenes Taylor depicts with her words is almost unbelievable. I don't know if I've loved a couple as much as I do Lazlo and Sarai. I thought them being in dreams and just being able to make whatever they wanted happen was sweet. I loved their relationship they had without even being together. I thought Lazlo letting Sarai stay in his dreams so she wouldn't have nightmares was adorable. I think the idea of Sarai being able to give people ni...
