Genres: Fantasy, Adventure, Middle Grade
Summary:
Sophie is reunited with her human sister, but her human parents have been kidnapped by the Neverseen. In order to save them, Sophie is willing to do almost anything; even if it means trusting the scheming ex-leader of the Neverseen and Keefe's mother: Lady Gisela.
What I Liked:
I'll say it now: I felt this book was rather lacking. It might just be me growing older, but I remember liking the other books in this series better. But even though I felt that this book wasn't as good as the others, it is still a great book. I enjoyed how a lot of the mysteries throughout the series have finally been answered, and the interactions between Sophie and Keefe are funny as usual. Sadly, the list pretty much ends there.
What I Disliked:
There were so many reveals in this book that they started to feel boring. They lack the surprise or suspense that makes us readers so exciting, and some of the reveals are rather predictable. There was also like 5-10 chapters that were so useless that they felt like filler. Sure, the chapters feed you tidbits of new information that is relevant to the plot, but honestly I felt like she could've put it all into one or two chapters. Another thing I felt annoyed by (and this is a problem that I believe can be seen all throughout the series) is the lack of female personality. EVERY SINGLE female character is snarky, snarky, and snarky. Save for a very few characters (that are still snarky but have a different enough personality), every single female character is practically the same. Sure, there are slight differences, but I could see multiple characters reacting the exact same way to a single event. Like even the female adults are snarky, and can be quite immature. There is also another thing I am unhappy about. There is a huge reveal, and don't worry I won't tell you what it is, that I felt shouldn't have happened. It undid (basically) one of the main impacts of the previous book and I feel like that's not what a good story writer does. I don't think a story writer should undo the impact of an event that's already happened in the story, because it sort of means that a part of the story is kind of useless. If you undo a big impact, you undo character development, and I feel like undoing character development is just something that shouldn't be a thing. Unfortunately, I have even more complaints, but since this is a MG book and my complaints don't really hold as much power because of that, I'll keep the rest to myself.
Additional Notes:
I honestly don't know whether the problems listed above have appeared in all of the books in the series or just this book. As I'm reading this series as I'm growing older, my preferences and my knowledge about story telling is constantly growing, so I might only be noticing certain problems in the series now. I'm still looking forward to the seventh book though!
Conclusion:
Even though I wrote so much negatives on the book, it's still a great book, and I enjoyed most of it. It's a happy book (it's MG), so if you've been reading too much depressing, dystopian stories and want something to cheer you up....well this series might help you.

Fire by Kristin Cashore (Book 2, Graceling Realm)
Genres: Romance, Fantasy, Young Adult
Summary:
The second book of the Graceling Realm series is a prequel to the first book, although barely connected, to my dismay. Fire follows a young woman named Fire as she gets caught up in possibly the biggest war in the history of the Dells and struggles with her father's legacy.
What I liked:
The main character was interesting and both alike and different from Katsa in Book 1. Fire didn't have a short temper and was much less aggressive, both of which Katsa were. They both had a bit against romance, though for very different reasons, and they both fall in love with someone. I liked how Fire changed over the course of the story, because it's interesting to see them learn and change. I really thought this story was very very different from the first book; Katsa didn't really change much over the course of the story but Fire changed a lot, the first book had a lot more action and was more exciting, the second was much slower paced and less physical hardships are endured.
Having read two of Krisitin Cashore's books now, I've realized that her writing style is very different from what I'm used to. The books are much slower paced and less exciting, but I think she tries to put more of an emphasis on emotion or things that make someone who they are, which is probably why I somehow got through the book despite the slow pace. Her books sometimes feel like they're all separate mini stories, but still one big story at the same time, which I didn't think was possible with a book. I guess I'm not used to the writing style.
Like the first book, the descriptions of the environment are frequent and interesting. And we also learn a bit of Leck's past, so that's good too!
What I disliked
The first part of the book was so insanely slow and boring that it took me like two weeks to finish it. I feel like that Kristin somehow took up two hundred or so pages describing a single trip to a castle and back, without any action at all nor any especially interesting interactions between the characters. Although the story probably would've been drier without the first part, as you learn a lot about Fire and her friend Archer, I feel like it should've been faster. At least after the first chunk of the book it got a lot more interesting. I also feel that her books kind of lack a 'climax feeling', and what I mean is that although there is definitely a climax in the books, it doesn't feel like there is, probably because her books sometimes feel like a big story with multiple mini side stories happening at the same time, where the side stories merge with the big plot and then separate again...I don't know how to explain it better than that.
Additional Notes:
None.
Final Remarks:
It's pretty good, as long as you don't mind slow-paced stories. I really got caught up after the first chunk of the book, because it became really interesting, and in the places where nothing in the main plot was happening much, you learn about other characters through mini side stories that don't feel like they are out of place. I think I liked this book, even though I was hoping Katsa and Po would be in it.

Clannad
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Slice of Life, Romance
Summary:
Clannad follows high-school delinquent Tomoya Okazaki, who is always skipping class and has no goal in his life. He decides to help a girl named Nagisa Furukawa revive the drama club, a good way to kill time.
Review:
Personal Opinions(replacing 'Introductory Notes')
The anime ended up not meeting my expectations. It's a pretty popular anime, and I'd heard that it was sad. I didn't end up crying, or even coming close to, but I did laugh a few times. But mainly I'm upset about the girl the main character ended up with, although it was quite clear from the very beginning. However, I'll try my best not to let this interfere with the review, even though reviews are completely subjective things anyway.
Story: 5/10
The story started out weak, and ended in a somewhat okay way. I felt like the first episode was kind of boring, although I think that's mainly due to my biased opinion of the main 'heroine'. I ended up leaving the anime for a few weeks before picking it up again at the third episode. From there, the story became a lot better. The next two story arcs, Fuko and Kotomi's arcs, were very interesting and full of drama. The story arcs seemed to lead to a supernatural direction, and so I was dismayed when the rest of the anime never returned to any supernatural themes(besides stuff for comedic effect), much less answered my questions about the previous occurrences. Of course, the anime was still interesting after that, but I felt it became more light-hearted and less dramatic. But I did have more laughs. I was also upset because of the ending. They do a play at the end, and I'm unhappy because the anime didn't really answer what happened in the play, or at the end of it. Besides, the play was kind of trashy in my opinion. However, although I have numerous complaints, I did enjoy the story overall, mainly due to the characters.
Characters: 7/10
Most of the characters were pretty interesting. At first, some of them seemed a bit too similar to each other, but throughout the story you see that they are all actually different it most ways. I especially liked the easygoing and lazy but kind character of Okazaki. I also liked the characters of Kyou and Tomoyo(not Tomoya, which is Okazaki's first name). I didn't really like Nagisa or Ryou because both were absurdly child-like, despite being like sixteen/seventeen years old. Nagisa especially, she was very gullible and way too reserved. She was a big crybaby and had low self-esteem, and her personality just annoyed me a lot. But usually the characters were enjoyable, which was good.
Art: 8/10
The art wasn't top notch or anything, but instead very simple, which I think suited the series more than a more realistic artistic style would. The characters weren't ugly, which was good, and they looked normal enough.
Sound: 6/10
It was okay, I guess. I liked the Dango Daikazoku stuff, it was cute. But Nagisa's and all the other girls who were portrayed as kindergarteners had little girl voice acting, which was kind of annoying, but fitting.
Conclusion:
Final Notes:
Not that good of an anime in my opinion. It wasn't as sad as I was expecting it to be, and it didn't really tug on any heartstrings. Being a fan of Tomoyo and Kyou, I thoroughly enjoyed the OVAs where Okazaki ended up with the different girls, more so than I expected since they were more touching than the actual series itself. Although I didn't like Clannad, I still have high hopes for Clannad: After Story due to it's very high ratings.

Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name)
New review format. Also going to be slightly more generous with my positive ratings and also harsher with my negative ratings.
Genre: Romance, Supernatural
Summary:
Mitsuha is a girl living in the small village of Itomori. Although she is the daughter of the mayor and a shrine maiden, Mitsuha is bored with her life and longs to visit a big city, like Tokyo. Taki is a boy living in Tokyo. He works in an Italian restaurant and has a crush on one of his co-workers. Taki aspires to be an architect when he grows up.
One day, Mitsuha finds herself in a dream where she has swapped bodies with Taki. After leaving questions and notes in each other's phones, they dramatically impact their lives in search of an explanation to this mysterious phenomenon.
Review:
Introductory Notes:
Kimi No Na Wa, a.k.a Your Name, is the first anime movie I've watched that isn't part of a series(like the Naruto movies), and I'm happy to tell you that this movie was really great. I wouldn't say it was the best thing I've ever watched, but it definitely deserves all the hype it got. Yeah, I'm really late to this movie, the hype's already died. :(.
Story: 9/10
The story was excellent. It was entertaining watching them help each other with their lives, and the plot-twists were big and surprising. The story began simple, kind of like a 'slice of life' anime with a supernatural twist. But as the story progressed, it became deeper and more mysterious, and got slightly confusing at times. The story wasn't completely without plot-holes, but it was still very enjoyable. I would of liked it if the ending had a bit more content, but I think the movie ended perfectly anyway.
Characters: 8/10
The characters, at first, seemed a bit plain. Mitsuha was a girl who disliked living in a small, boring village and Taki was a generic high school guy. But you eventually realize that there's a lot more to the characters, especially when they switch bodies. Of course since this is a movie, you won't know the characters that well, but the characters are still enjoyable (even the side characters!).
Art: 10/10
The movie's animation was absurdly amazing. The scenes depicting the comet took my breath away, they were so beautiful. Amazing is like the only word I have to describe the animation, it was that good.
The story was set in two different locations, Tokyo and Itomori. Both were depicted beautifully, the sun reflecting off of Tokyo's buildings, and the beautiful 'underworld' place as well as nature in Itomori. The art was just really good.
Sound: 9/10
None of the music seemed out of place at all, and the voice acting seemed to suit the characters unexpectedly well. Although the english dubbed version of the movie sounds bad, then again, what anime actually has proper english dubbing XD.
Conclusion:
Final Notes:
Wonderful story and absurdly beautiful animations. There isn't really anything bad about this anime! The only reason why it isn't 10/10 is because the story didn't resonate strongly enough with me to make me cry or wasn't funny enough to make me laugh my stomach out. Many other viewers of this movie cried, but not me. Still one of the best anime I've watched, and it's not like a lot of anime make me cry anyway.

Psycho-Pass
Genre: Psychological, Mystery
Summary:
Japan is ruled by a completely impartial and automated system called the Sibyl System. The Sibyl System can foretell your talents and flaws, and decide for you what kind of lifestyle you should live. The Sibyl System can also determine your potential as a criminal, called your Crime Coefficient or Psycho-Pass. Some people with high crime coefficients are assigned jobs as Enforcers and work under the careful supervision of Inspectors. Inspectors and Enforcers work to keep society safe and capture people with high crime coefficients. The story follows Inspector Akane Tsunemori, the newest inspector to join the force. Akane and her colleagues work together to uncover the mystery of multiple different serial killings, seemingly having connections with each other. And what is the Sibyl System, really?
What I liked:
Psycho-Pass is an excellent anime. I love how it deals with human ideas on a seemingly utopian society, and whether a life that has been practically decided for you every step of the way is the way someone should live. It has many interesting philosophies, and I love philosophies.
Another thing I liked about this anime is it's mystery factor. It's quite interesting watching the characters figure out who a killer is, or what their plan is. There wasn't that much mystery most of the time, but when there was it built suspense and I couldn't stop watching.
The characters were also interesting. They had backstories that helped you understand the character better, and each of them had a different way of thinking. The character, especially the main character, changes throughout the anime as different events unfold, and she becomes less naive and more resilient, but she still holds some of her ideals close to heart.
Anyways, I thought this was a great anime. It had an interesting storyline, although it was slow at some parts, and has lots of thought provoking ideas.
Season two of the anime was especially good. It had a lot of mystery in it, and it managed to tie up all of the problems described quite nicely. The ending was very exciting and interesting, and I definitely recommend this anime.
What I disliked:
The anime was a lot more gory than I would've expected. The main weapons in the series, called Dominators, would blow a person to bits and pieces, and most of the time blood would splatter everywhere. The first few episodes of the anime definitely got straight into action, but some parts were somewhat slow moving.
Music:
I liked almost every song that was played in this anime. OP 1 was 'Abnormalize' by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure. OP 2 was 'Out of Control' by Nothing's Carved in Stone. The music was nice, but I didn't like the singing, which was in English. OP 3 was 'Enigmatic Feeling', also by Ling Tosite Sigure. They're pretty similar and I liked this one too. I'm no expert on music, but these themes were very upbeat and exciting, while also giving off a ghostly feeling. The three EDs were all EGOIST songs, and up till now I hadn't truly appreciated EGOIST's music. I'd liked 'My Dearest' from Guilty Crown, but I hadn't paid EGOIST much attention till now. I loved all three of the EDs, 'Namae no nai Kaibutsu', 'All Alone with You' and 'Fallen'.
Frequently throughout the anime I heard music by Beethoven and stuff. I think I heard Ode to Joy when somebody was dying.
Graphics:
Loved the Dominator animations. It had pretty decent graphics I guess.
Conclusion:
Watch the anime it's good. Especially season 2.

Generation One (Book 1, Lorien Legacies Reborn)
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Adventure, Superpower
Summary:
Have you read the Lorien Legacies? Well Lorien Legacies Reborn is a sequel series to those. After the events of the Mogadorian invasion on Earth, and numerous Earthling teenagers developing legacies(dubbed Earth Garde), an Academy is being built in the United States to keep the Earth Garde safe and teach them how to control their new found abilities. Kopano, from Lagos, Nigeria, is enthusiastic about his powers and can't wait to go to the Academy and use his powers to help the world. Taylor, from South Dakota, US, just wants a normal and ordinary life and wishes her Legacies never came to her. But the world is changing, and if the Academy doesn't find you, someone else will.
What I liked:
I was super excited when I realized this was a sequel to the Lorien Legacies series, one of my favourites. This was quite an interesting book. Like the first book in the Lorien Legacies(aka I am Number Four series), this whole book felt like a prologue or introduction to the main series. That doesn't mean it was boring or bad. Each of the character's personalities were very well written. Although I didn't like every single one of the main characters, I felt like they were diverse and interesting in their own ways. The book switched POVs every chapter, going through one of the six main characters: Kopano, Taylor, Nigel, Ran, Caleb and Isabel. After the book I felt like I knew each of the characters well.
The book wasn't action packed the whole way through. Like I am Number Four, there were many times when the book took time to explain issues going on in the world, how Legacies worked and to address each of the character's personal problems. I know I'm repeating, but I really enjoyed the personalities of the characters. Now that the first book has you knowing all of the characters and the situation the series is based upon, the other books can be more exciting and action-packed. But this book was definitely very interesting and still had a decent amount of action, another great quality about this book.
What I disliked:
John only appeared once. And Professor Nine is held back by his prosthetic limb. And nobody else from the original Loric appeared, besides Lexa, and she only got like two sentences. Not even dialogue.
:(
I didn't really dislike any aspects of the book, and if I did it was usually a character who annoyed me. However, the book was kind of slow at some parts, but I felt interested enough that it didn't bother me. Oh and another thing. I was looking forward to see some more interesting Legacies, but not many of the Legacies in the book really stood out to me, besides Shapeshifting. And Knowledge-sharing, but that guy wasn't really in the book much.
Additional Notes:
Read the Lorien Legacies first. I don't think it would matter much either way, since this book doesn't really give spoilers, but you should just do it anyway. The Lorien Legacies is an excellent series about alien teenagers with Legacies fighting off the Mogadorians - really cool stuff.
Final Remarks:
You should read this book if you read the Lorien Legacies and are itching for some more Lorien action. You can read this without reading the Lorien Legacies, but I recommend reading those first just for some backstory knowledge. I liked this book.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Summary:
Have you read the Lorien Legacies? Well Lorien Legacies Reborn is a sequel series to those. After the events of the Mogadorian invasion on Earth, and numerous Earthling teenagers developing legacies(dubbed Earth Garde), an Academy is being built in the United States to keep the Earth Garde safe and teach them how to control their new found abilities. Kopano, from Lagos, Nigeria, is enthusiastic about his powers and can't wait to go to the Academy and use his powers to help the world. Taylor, from South Dakota, US, just wants a normal and ordinary life and wishes her Legacies never came to her. But the world is changing, and if the Academy doesn't find you, someone else will.
What I liked:
I was super excited when I realized this was a sequel to the Lorien Legacies series, one of my favourites. This was quite an interesting book. Like the first book in the Lorien Legacies(aka I am Number Four series), this whole book felt like a prologue or introduction to the main series. That doesn't mean it was boring or bad. Each of the character's personalities were very well written. Although I didn't like every single one of the main characters, I felt like they were diverse and interesting in their own ways. The book switched POVs every chapter, going through one of the six main characters: Kopano, Taylor, Nigel, Ran, Caleb and Isabel. After the book I felt like I knew each of the characters well.
The book wasn't action packed the whole way through. Like I am Number Four, there were many times when the book took time to explain issues going on in the world, how Legacies worked and to address each of the character's personal problems. I know I'm repeating, but I really enjoyed the personalities of the characters. Now that the first book has you knowing all of the characters and the situation the series is based upon, the other books can be more exciting and action-packed. But this book was definitely very interesting and still had a decent amount of action, another great quality about this book.
What I disliked:
John only appeared once. And Professor Nine is held back by his prosthetic limb. And nobody else from the original Loric appeared, besides Lexa, and she only got like two sentences. Not even dialogue.
:(
I didn't really dislike any aspects of the book, and if I did it was usually a character who annoyed me. However, the book was kind of slow at some parts, but I felt interested enough that it didn't bother me. Oh and another thing. I was looking forward to see some more interesting Legacies, but not many of the Legacies in the book really stood out to me, besides Shapeshifting.

Graceling by Kristin Cashore (Book 1, Graceling Realm)
.
Changing up my book reviews. No spoilers, individual reviews for books in a series, etc.
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Adventure, Romance
Summary:
Katsa, niece to the king of the Middluns, is not an ordinary lady. Ever since the king realized that she was born with a Grace, a special talent, for killing, the king has sent her across the seven kingdoms to do his dirty work; punishing those whom the king wishes her to punish. One day, Katsa meets Prince Po, and they become friends. Together, they search for clues relating to the the people behind the kidnapping of Po's grandfather.
What I Liked:
I read this book because of the awesome cover, it's really cool. Anyways, there were lots of things I liked about this book. One of these things was the main character, Katsa. Like in the cover, Katsa is pretty kick-ass. She can use knives, daggers, swords, bows and probably other things with skill and efficiency, and fights bare-handed just as well. She has an interesting enough personality; short-tempered, impulsive, capricious, stubborn. She doesn't really joke around, but she can be nice to people, especially children. She avoids hurting or killing people when she can. I also liked most of the other characters, like Po, who's a good-natured fellow and quite different overall from Katsa. Another thing I liked was that the romance was a side thing for most of the time, and filled the spaces where there was lack of action. I also liked that many details were given about the land the book was set in, although noticeably less details on the exact environment. That's pretty much what I liked about this book.
What I Disliked:
I wasn't bothered too much by this book, but others might think the pacing to be too slow. The book had long stretches of time where not much action occurred. And due to the pacing not a whole lot happened in the book. Another thing I disliked was that there wasn't much information given about the main antagonist, but I'm hoping it will be answered in the next few books. There is also a minor problem that I had with some of the sentences. Some of them seemed to run awkwardly. But it's a minor problem. What I disliked most about this book is that I think the problem was resolved too quickly, and it was kind of anti climactic. That sums up what I didn't like about this book.
Additional Notes:
There is not that much character development throughout the book; her views on marriage remain the same, she's still stubborn and fickle and short tempered. Her views do change a bit after learning certain things, but not that much really. I personally don't have much of a problem with this, since throughout the book her interaction with others was kept to a small circle of three people.
Final Remarks:
Definitely read this book if you are a fan of the fantasy and romance genres. If you liked books such as Throne of Glass, chances are you'll like this book too.

Akame ga Kill!
Hi there! This is my first time reviewing an anime. I don't think I'm very good, and I don't really know how to review the anime's music and visuals. Still, I hope you enjoy!
Summary:
Summary:
A boy named Tatsumi journeys to the Capital to join the military and receive funds to support his village, which has suffered under heavy taxation. However, upon discovering how corrupted the people there were, Tatsumi joins a guild of assassins, called Night Raid, who work for the Revolutionary Army, an army intent on overthrowing Prime Minister Onest, the source of the corruption, and creating a better country to live in. The assassins of Night Raid are devoted to the cause and kill any of their targets without hesitation, knowing that they were corrupted. They use special weapons called Imperial Arms, which all have special powers better suited for different people. Akame ga Kill explores darker elements within the show, such as death and gore.
Things I Liked:
The main protagonists were each unique in their own way and they were all nice(usually) people. Each assassin in the guild loved their comrades and protected and trusted each other with their lives. The main antagonists, I didn't like as much. A few of them were good people but they were misled, the rest were just sadistic killers and purely evil. This anime had a lot of cool fight scenes, especially since the character's weapons had special powers. Each of the weapons and their powers were very different and unique, and all very useful in their own way. For example, a weapon in the shape of a gigantic pair of scissors, able to cut absolutely anything in the world, or a laser gun whose power increases the more the user is in danger.
Another thing I liked(sort of) was that some of the protagonists died, which makes the anime a lot more realistic. Something I hate is when someone survives(happily and healthily as if nothing happened) after suffering immense blood loss, a hundred slices across the abdomen(*cough* Bleach *cough*), or a serious injury that shouldn't be possible to heal from. This anime has character's die after they suffer damage enough to kill them, which makes it a lot more realistic.
The opening theme and ending themes were pretty nice.

This anime has character's die after they suffer damage enough to kill them, which makes it a lot more realistic.
The opening theme and ending themes were pretty nice.
Things I Disliked
Something I didn't really like was the strange character's and personalities, although this is something that happens in quite a few anime, so I won't complain too much. But sometimes, the crazy qualities of the characters bother me, especially since this anime explores a darker theme. In an anime that is mainly about chopping off heads, you just don't expect exaggerated childish personalities. For example, one of the characters eats absurd amounts of meat. Similarly, I don't like it how whenever they aren't fighting, the anime just adds a bunch of bad jokes into the story and the overall theme for the anime suddenly changes to a childish, happy theme.
I also dislike how a large majority of the antagonists are just merely evil and twisted killers with boring pasts, or no past at all. I like it better when the antagonists have a reason for being they way they are.
Another thing that I disliked was that it seemed like the character's personalities were just thought up on the spot. It was like they thought "This person's going to be silent and super skilled! This one is going to be loud and talkative and nice! This one's going to be a tsundere!". There was almost no character development in the anime. This also leads to another thing I disliked. In the anime, a large majority of the characters are killed off, which makes sense, since they were in a situation where people should die, but I honestly think the anime went a bit overboard with the killing. Basically every single protagonist was killed off, except for one of them, just so that the "good guys" could win. Or at least beat the "bad guys". I also think they tried to make some of the deaths sad, but due to the lack of character development, the audience doesn't really know the character, or any of the characters for that matter, well enough to be sad about a certain character's death.
Conclusion:
I thought this anime was pretty cool, you should definitely try watching it sometime! It's kind of gory though.

Why You Should Read...Artemis Fowl(series) by Eoin Colfer
Artemis Fowl the Second is no ordinary 12 year old. He’s a criminal mastermind who can outsmart anyone on the planet….as well as those inside the planet. From a young age, his father raised him with the family motto “Aurum Potestas Est” or “Gold is Power”. So when he finds out about the secret community of fairies living below the surface, and that they had lots of gold, he decides to be the first one to take some of it. After kidnapping a fairy, who happens to be a captain of the fairy police force, Captain Holly Short. This event started the series of attacks the fairies launched against the great Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard, Butler. Can Artemis’ plan outsmart the fairies’ sheer numbers and powerful, time-stopping magic, or will Artemis end up in a “fowl” mood?
This series was very exciting and also very interesting, and the ideas Artemis comes up with are simply ingenious. Eoin Colfer sets the stage with an amazing book, leaving you wanting more of Artemis and his sophisticated and cunning plans. My favorite part of this series was the way Artemis thwarted evil plans with his own ingenious(and sometimes evil) plans with the help of his one-man army, the bodyguard Butler. His cunningness makes me smile from the beginning to the end of the story, and through all the other books in this series. I also liked how the point of views switched to many different characters periodically, and it let me see all the perspectives of the story. This book incorporates a genius so ingenious that he's surpassed nerd-hood, soldier elves, farting dwarves, sassy centaurs and evil pixies. Who wouldn't want to read a book like that?
There is one problem I have with this series. All of the stories have really slow storylines. As exciting as it sounds, the book has to explain some of the boring stuff to the reader, and I think these explanations take a bit too long. This problem actually didn’t occur much in some books, but a few of the other books do have this problem. Other than the slow-paced story-line, this book was great!
Age Group: 11-15 years.
Genres: Fantasy, Fairy Tale, Magical Realism
Rating: 9.3
Artemis Fowl is an ingenious story, and everyone should read it. Even if you don’t like fantasy and fairies, what’s the harm in reading about a criminal mastermind?

Why You Should Read...Spy School(series) by Stuart Gibbs!
Just another post!
Ben was normal. He went to a normal school, lived in a normal house, ate normal foods, did normal things. He had a normal life(other than the fact that he was a math genius), until one day when a debonair spy had asked him whether he wanted to become a spy and learn at the CIA Academy of Espionage. As being a spy was Ben's dream, he accepted, oblivious to the dangers he would face only about 5400 seconds later. Ben begins to doubt his choice when he runs from enemy snipers, attacks highly trained assassins with a tennis racket, and finds out about a secret that could blow his mind....along with everyone else's.
(If you read this book you would understand that pun :P)
This book was really fun to read. Stuart Gibbs likes to entertain his readers through mystery and comedy, and excite his readers with a small drop of romance at the end of his books. It really excites you, especially when you get really giddy when it goes to romance(Yes, I get really giddy). I overall loved this series. Like when I first saw the book, I was like. Mneh(Mneh is a word from this series). And then when I started reading I was like "THIS IS SWAWESOME(Yes another word from this series)". My favorite part about this series are the endings of each book, where Ben(main character) just reveals the bad guy's entire plan and then ruins the plan and then saves the day, like it's swawesome! Read this book!!!

Why You Should/Shouldn't Read...The Five Kingdoms(series) by Brandon Mull
The Outskirts is an in-between place, a place between wakefulness and dreaming, a place between reality and imagination, a place between life and death, a place with pockets in time and space, and a place that stretches the limits of technological innovation. It is also the place where Cole and his friends were taken, enslaved and separated from each other. Cole sets out on a breath-taking journey to rescue his friends and get back onto Earth, and at the same time helping a long-lost princess find her sisters and overthrow evil overlords.
I think you should read the Five Kingdoms if you love fantasy and don't care about romance, because, well, the Five Kingdoms series is practically all fantasy, and like no romance. Obviously. Besides lacking of other genres, Brandon Mull is very very creative, and the Outskirts(setting of the story) is the place I want to visit the most out of all the fantasy books(Yes, even the Lost Cities...Yes I know the Lost Cities have beautiful crystal buildings which are better than the wooden shacks in the Outskirts...Yes I still want to go to the Outskirts more...Okay, stop making me doubt myself...Shut it.). Anyways, the Outskirts have tons of cool places, plus I'll most likely have really cool shaping(hopefully Sambrian shaping!...No it's not because I can create friends since I don't have any in real life! Ok, maybe a little bit actually.). Anyways it's really cool.
I didn't really like a lot of parts of this series, because it wasn't really interesting sometimes. The first and third books were really interesting, but the second and fourth books, especially the fourth book, moved slowly and weren't as interesting as the others. I was actually really disappointed when I read the fourth book, because the majority of the story they were just running around looking for help. I also didn't like how there wasn't any romance, but that's just personal preference. But read the book anyway.

Why You Should Read...Keeper of the Lost Cities(series) by Shannon Messenger!!
Elves. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Small guys wearing green with pointy ears? Fair and noble creatures who help Frodo destroy the One Ring? What if I told you that, somewhere, elves were real, and that they looked just like normal humans, except fairer, stronger, and good-looking? What if I told you, that elves don't have pointy ears until they are thousands of years old, and one elf, a female elf, was hidden among us humans? Sophie Foster thought she was a human, despite her superior intellect and her ability to read minds. But that all changed when she found Fitz. Fitz is an elf, and explains to Sophie that she is one too. He takes her to the Lost Cities and they search for answers about why Sophie's mind is impenetrable, who the black swan is, and what the immense amount of secret information in her mind means.
I think you should read the Keeper of the Lost Cities because it really amazes me with the creative plots and creatures, and amazing places. But my favorite parts of the story are the characters. The characters are each unique in their own way, and their personalities are very different from each other, without making their personalities over-the-top absurd. I feel the main characters are so lovable, you'll fall in love with the characters before you fall for the story. This series incorporates everything from alicorns with sparkly poop to crystal cities burning down, from heart-breaking moments to adorable relationships, it's an overall amazing series.

Why You Should Read: The Land of Stories(series) by Chris Colfer!
Fairy tales are stories meant for all ages in society, but mainly for children. Fairy tales often have interesting, original plots and morals to learn at the end of them. But where do these tales of wonder come from? The Brothers Grimm? Hans Christian? Neither of them. These stories, so called "fairy tales" come from the Land of Stories, also known as the Fairy Tale world to two siblings who, accidentally, end up crossing into the the Land of Stories from the human world. The two siblings, Alex and Conner, uncover secrets from their past, take a stand in the present, and change their future, along with the futures of thousands of other people.
I think you should read this series because it has some really good plot twists, cliffhangers, and mysteries that keep you guessing and blow you away when questions are answered and all loose ends tied. Why was the Evil Queen who poisoned Snow White so heartless? Why did the Enchantress hate Sleeping Beauty? What happened to Goldilocks after she ran from the bears? These are three of the many questions that are answered in the Land of Stories, and are also essential to the spectacular plot.
Age Group: Gr. 6 - 8: This is because there is some use of the cr*p word and other stuff.
