Book Review: The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas + Signed Book Giveaway

The Burning Sky
The Elemental Trilogy #1
Author: Sherry Thomas
Reading Level: Young Adult
Genre: Fantasy/High Fantasy/Magic
Release Date: September 17th 2013
Review Source: HarperTeen

It all began with a ruined elixir and an accidental bolt of lightning…

Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's being told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of The Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the greatest mage tyrant the world has ever known. A suicide task for anyone let alone a sixteen-year-old girl with no training, facing a prophecy that foretells a fiery clash to the death.

Prince Titus of Elberon has sworn to protect Iolanthe at all costs but he's also a powerful mage committed to obliterating the Bane to avenge the death of his family—even if he must sacrifice both Iolanthe and himself to achieve his goal.

But Titus makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the Bane closing in, he must choose between his mission and her life.

Iolanthe Seabourn is prophesied to be the greatest elemental mage of all time, whether or not she believes it. Prince Titus also has a prophesied destiny, a destiny he has dedicated a greater part of his life to. That destiny is Iolanthe. Together they must embark on a journey in defeating the greatest mage tyrant, Bane. Titus knows the ending... his ending. For him, the vengeance of his family is what's in store and he will make sure to achieve it. But falling in love changes everything. For Iolanthe he will do anything, for her he would die. At all costs, his destiny is to protect her.

First of all let me be completely honest here. I am not a fan of fantasy. At all. I am not a fan of castles and dragons and spells. With that said, I ABSOLUTELY and completely loved The Burning Sky. Sherry Thomas you have made me a fantasy fan out of me.

Iolanthe is probably the most perfect character written, ever. She is equally as hard as she is soft. Not annoying at all, not overpowering at all. Titus compliments her well. I fell in love with him, with the dedication to this destiny he has. He is definitely ambitious, determined, and disciplined. I mean, what other guy do you know that will dedicate his every single thought and action for most of his life for this ONE task? He reserves the characteristics of my dream guy.

There are two factors of this book that were my favorite thing ever. First, the introduction paragraph. The very first page before the story starts. It was the most perfect thing I've ever read. If you ever come across this book, which you should because you should totally read it, open it up to the first page and read that paragraph. That paragraph will hook you like like an addictive drug. You will want more. Not gonna lie, I went back to that first page once or twice.. or three times, maybe more to re-read it. My second favorite thing is the pacing of the story. I loved, loved, loved the pacing. It wasn't too slow or too fast. The relationship between Iolanthe and Titus evolved naturally and at a believable pace. Most books have the characters fall in love almost immediately, this book felt really, really natural. Ironic, since it's a fantasy story. I can't say that for many other books.

So have you ever read a book and wished that you could unread it just so you could read it all over again and experience it all over? That's what this book makes me want. Thank you Sherry Thomas! I will be reading more fantasy now and I will also be waiting, impatiently, for the next installment in the Elemental Trilogy.

“Expect Magic.”

Book Review: Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

Unravel Me
Shatter Me #2
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Reading Level: YA
Genre: Dystopian
Released: February 5th 2013
Review Source: Purchased
Available: Unravel Me
OUaT Reviews: Ana's

Summary: (from goodreads) tick

tick
tick
tick
tick
it's almost
time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

Upon finishing Unravel Me, I must say that I was slightly unraveled myself. My mind, my emotions, my allegiance to characters were all questioned throughout this read. I’m so glad that I read Destroy Me first, as I was able to get more background information on Warner, as Unravel Me truly kept my mind spinning and many questions were answered preparing me for the 2nd novel. Tahereh did a wonderful job of giving the reader an authentic visualization of what the mysterious and secret under world of citizens in training, for an upcoming war against the Reestablishment. Juliette finds herself in a new place and environment unlike any that she has been in before. She doesn’t have people knocking down her door to be friends with her. There is still this state of fear, that with only one touch from Juliette, as beautiful as she is, those who were touched, would be gone forever.

Now if you read a lot of young adult fiction like I do, do you ever get this feeling that sometimes overall plots are filled with a struggle between the main character and a love interest, or should I say two love interest? I found myself thinking back to Bella, Edward and Jacob, Katniss, Peeta and Gale, and Ellie, Will and Caden. Who will win Juliette’s heart in the midst of all of this turmoil? I know who’s team I’m on. I questioned it at first, but my mind is very hard to change. I read Unravel Me very, very slowly, knowing that book 3 would not come for a very long time. Devouring every single page, every single detail, piecing together what I could, trying to make sense of all the events that were happening with each page turn.

Lastly, for all of you loyal fans out there, you are truly in for a treat. Shatter Me was great, Unravel Me is awesome. The similes, personification, and metaphors woven throughout this novel on almost every sing page, is like no writing I have ever read. I wanted to highlight every single piece of figurative language I could find, but the count was endless. What a perfect example of writing to share with aspiring writers or students for examples of writing at its best. Juliette, Adam, Warren and Kenjii are the stars of this installment. Dedicate an endless day and night of reading, for you won’t be able to put it down.

Summary: (from goodreads) Ninety-five days, and then I’ll be safe.

I wonder whether the procedure will hurt.

I want to get it over with.

It’s hard to be patient.

It’s hard not to be afraid while I’m still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn’t touched me yet.

Still, I worry.

They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness.

The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don’t.

Review Source: Loaned
Available: Amazon
OUaT Reviews: Yara's 

Summary: (from goodreads) I’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
push,
push,
push,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.

Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.

DELIRIUM REVIEW: First I am going to say that the only thing I regret about this book is “taking so long to read it!!” It’s been out for a while now and I had heard only great things about it, but never really had gotten around to reading it. Then THE DARK DAYS Tour came to Books and Books in Coral Gables, Florida, which is about an hour drive from my house and I had heard that Lauren was going to be there. Well, my fellow reviewer Jenny and I drove there and had the pleasure of meeting Lauren. She is absolutely wonderful; funny, sweet and very down to earth. Jenny and I waited until everyone got their books signed so we could take our time chatting with Ms. Oliver. Here are some pictures Jenny and I took while at the signing.

Now on to the review, but first I want to talk about the cover. What can I say about the cover? It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Lena is on the cover and she is so gorgeous. Delirium is one of those books that grab you from the very first sentence and takes you to another world - the world of Lauren Oliver, and what a wonderful and chaotic world that is. She is absolutely brilliant. This isn’t your normal love story. Actually, this is a book where love is viewed as something bad, repulsive and contagious – a disease.

Only a few months away until Lena is finally cured from Deliria Nervosa, in other words, love. She will be like every other person in this world without feelings. The zombies as they are sometimes referenced as. After the war and the rise of the Capital, the government started to convince everyone that the reason for the war and all the destruction was due to love. Then a scientist came up with a cure, a dangerous procedure where many have died and gone insane from, including Lena’s mother. Then one day Lena meets Alex and her whole world is turned upside down. Not in a bad way though. He makes her see things the way they really are. I am going to admit that I feel in love with Alex. Lena and Alex’s love was a true and genuine. It wasn’t a love at first sight kind of love. Lauren took her time to develop that love and to be honest; I think it was the best idea. I don’t think that love at first sight would have worked in this story. I don’t want to give too much away because I really want you all to read it. The ending was a heart breaker and I was sitting on my couch next to my husband reading the last few chapters when I just started crying. My husband was looking at me like I was going crazy.

If you haven’t read Delirium yet then I suggest you get up, go to your computer, kindle, Nook, or your local book store or library and pick it up. It has been a while since I read a book that I loved from beginning to end. Lauren’s writing style is amazing and she is definitely one of my favorite top 5 authors. Although I wanted to hate her for the way she ended it, I also wanted to hug her for writing such an amazing book.

PANDEMONIUM REVIEW: Lauren Oliver has done it again! Great sequel to an amazing series. The cover, like before is incredibly gorgeous and capturing. I think it goes perfect with the story. Lena is my girl and I absolutely love her. She is such a strong character. I don’t want to talk about the HUGE cliffhanger at the end of Delirium, but I will have to spill some info in order to do my review.

Pandemonium picks up right where Delirium left off. Lena has escaped is in the Wilds. Alone, scared and almost dead, she is rescued by the people who she was taught to despise – the Invalids. There she is introduced to a whole different world that she never thought or believed to exist. Realizing more and more how she was lied to her whole life about how the real world really is, she joins The Resistance. A group of invalids who plan on bringing down The Capital and all together, "the cure." Her mission is to follow the son of the DFA (Deliria-Free America) leader, Julian Fineman and the poster child of the DFA's Youth Division. When chaos breaks during a DFA convention, Julian and Lena end up together in an unusual place. Destiny has brought them together and slowly, of course they both start to feel for each other. The only problem is that Lena is still in love with the boy who saved her life and who she will never see again. He may not be there physically, but he is and will always be in her heart.

Pandemonium has a lot more action it in than Delirium and a little less romance, but the story was still incredibly awesome! Every time I turned a page I was in awe. Lauren has definitely give us a pager turner. And the ending….well O.M.G.!!! I cannot believe she did this to me again! How can she do this? Now, we have to wait a whole year to get the 3rd and final book. If you have read Delirium and haven't yet read Pandemonium, then you honestly have been missing out on an incredible story. And if you haven't read Delirium yet, well now is the time because you can read both books back to back. But I am warning you, once you start reading it, you will be totally hooked!

(6789465365468464 TREES!!! LOL)

Delirium by Lauren Oliver is by far the most over the top, buckle your seat belts and hold on roller coaster ride of your life. The intensity of this book leaves you breathless at the end. Again another book with the main character’s face on the page giving you the visualization of the person who’s world you are beginning to understand.

In a world where love is being stripped from your brain at the age of eighteen because it is said that it’s a disease. A world where the government not only monitors but controls every aspect of your life, your career, your financial stability and arranges the people who you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with simply by an evaluation scheduled right after your graduation. This is the world that Lena lives in. We begin with Lena who’s life we follow as she nears the time of her procedure. She’s a senior in high school and is about to graduate. She’s getting closer to the day of her evaluation and the suspense is killing her. She’s ready to have all of this behind her. But that’s until she meets Alex. Her entire world seems like it’s going to collapse one Lena finally opens her eyes and can see clearer. Her entire world begins to fall apart when she begins to doubt everything that has been instilled in her head since the day her mother died. And to make matter’s more confusing she meets Alex. Gets to know him, starts to like him and ends up falling in love with him.

The characters in this story make the story come alive. I instantly fell in love with Lena as I felt the emotions she felt. I felt as if I was living in her world and experiencing the same things she was. Lauren Oliver did a fascinating job with the descriptions of the people who have been cured and the ones who haven’t. The difference between the government and the people. She specified how and who controlled this world and the consequences should you deny your or in this case resist the procedure or their way of living. The most incriminating part was the Crypts. I couldn’t believe how descriptive it was and how I was able to imagine every single detail from there as if I was inside this story. Lauren Oliver is definitely in my favorite author’s list. The way she captivates you from the very first page and throws blow upon blow in every chapter leaves you like an addict wanting more. If you haven’t read Delirium, you HAVE to go a grab it. You will not regret it and if you have already, pick up the next book in the series called Pandemonium and stay tuned for my review of Pandemonium. If you have read Pandemonium already, pick up Hana’s which is a short novella ebook of Hana’s story in the book Delirium. And stay tuned for information on the third installment of this remarkable book Requiem later this year.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great story! You will not be disappointed.

I have to admit. Books and Books in Coral Gables Florida is two and a half hours away from where I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida and I will go to any event they schedule because you have the best experience there. They have the nicest library you can imagine, everything is stocked nicely, they have a little section for children of all ages with little desks and spaces for them to do activities. The location is always so nice, clean and organized. Everyone there is just so nice and helpful. I just love the feeling of this place. have been to two author signings that they have sponsored. Both author signings has left me with an experience to remember for a lifetime.

On March 9, 2012 Pitch Dark Days with authors including Claudia Grey author of Balthazar, Lauren Oliver author of Pandemonium and Dan Wells author of Partials were the guest of honor at Books and Books. The atmosphere of the place once these authors took the stage was amazingly comical. These authors were all hilarious and really made everyone feel comfortable and happy as they each described the process of making the books, where the ideas came from and how they managed to put their ideas into pages. All the while laughing and cracking jokes.

Everyone in the audience had a chance to ask a question and to break the ice Debra (a Books and Books staff member) distributed chocolate candies to whom ever asked a question. The author’s all answered the questions directed to them and also managed to give some very good advice to all the aspiring writers in the audience. Dan Wells specifically suggested to join his pod cast which he shares with other authors as they give information and advise to all aspiring authors. For more information on Writing Excuses click HERE

At the end of the Q&A, a table was decorated with a black table cover and with each of the author’s books on top. Everyone formed a line in front of the table from which author they wanted signatures from. Everything was done in an organized and orderly fashion. Once in line Debra (Books and Books staff member) came by you and asked for you name, she then wrote your name on a sticky note and placed it on your book. This is so that when your turn arrives to get a signature the author can write your name on the book correctly. I just thought that was a great idea on behalf of Books and Books because who wants their favorite author’s signature on their book with their name spelled wrong? I sure don’t so good job to Books and Books. When you arrived to the author and gave them your book they each took about a 5 minute time period between each person to sign their books and have a short conversation with them. Everyone was able to tell their favorite author’s how much they loved their books, take pictures with them and get to know them a little better. I thought that was great!!! Although there was a lot of people there, three authors and not enough space, everyone seemed to understand and allow those 5 minute intervals for each person to gain their own personal experience with the author they loved. They signed everything from electronic readers, to book plates to books and all the time with a smile on their face and having a conversation with you.

There was food and drinks in the back for whom ever wanted, free of charge. All the books ever written by any of these authors were offered in the register area, so that you have it at the palm of your hands, paid of them and ran back to the line to get it signed. Very convenient strategy. No one was rushed, pushed or yelled at. Everyone was able to get their 5 minutes with their favorite authors and EVERYONE left extremely happy and satisfied from Books and Books. I personally will always go to Books and Books for author signings, It’s an experience to remember.
During the event I was able to tweet and take pictures for you all. If you want to see what I tweeted you can find it under the hashtag #pitchdarkdays or @twilightsdance. If you would like to find out if Books and Books has any signed books or swag left from the event, just visit their page HERE. We hope you liked this recap. It was such a great way to spend a Friday, got to see a few fellow blogger’s too.

Here are all my pictures from the event!

Dark Days of Winter 2012: Houston 2/18/12 Recap! Interview+Pictures+Giveaway!

Hey Everyone!!! Today we celebrate my (Yara) birthday with my recap from the Pitch Dark Days stop that happen here in Houston on 2/18/12. This stop featured Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows and Courtney Allison Moulton. Thanks to Harper Teen, I was able to sit down with the lovely authors before the event and interview on video, I took several pictures and tweeted live for you all the day of the event. I had help with the interview from fellow Houston blogger Trini @ A Book Lovers Review. We had such a great time filming the interview, lots of laughs and ooops took place. Then at 4pm we headed to Blue Willow Bookshop to begin the event. 

The event was a HIT as soon as you walked in the door. Their was such a large crowd that the bookstore sold out on the books from the authors. The authors decided since it was such a large crowd they would introduce themselves and then jump into taking questions. Tons of great questions were asked and the crowd was awarded with candy from Brodi and Courtney. Cynthia awarded some of her fans with cowboy hats and beanies. Jodi gave out some cute stuff she knitted herself. The crowd loved it. The picture was taken after the event.

The crowd asked if it was hard to write the beginning of the series first or the ending?

Pretty much all the authors agreed in answer saying the ending is the hardest. You sort of don't want to let go of the story. Tears were shed!

Then they were asked how many books do they plan or have planned out to write in the series.

They each said 3

Below you can watch the video interview with the authors before the event. I think that Trini and I did a good job with the interview and editing for being our first time at both. We hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed filming it for you all. 

During the event I was able to tweet and take pictures for you all. If you want to see what I tweeted you can find it under the hashtag #pitchdarkdays or @twilightsdance. If you would like to find out if Blue Willow has any signed books or swag left from the event, just visit their page HERE. We hope you liked this recap. It was such a great way to spend a Saturday. I got to see quite a few bloggers and even an author or two in the audience. Then went home to edit the video with Trini until 2am. All worth it!

Here are all my pictures from the event!

I want to thank Harper Teen for letting me be a part of this wonderful Pitch Dark Days tour.  Thank you to Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows and Courtney Allison Moulton for a great interview and event.
