nix

it was wonderful and well written and woven to perfection .

the whole concept of the people with the eyes and ungraced , the world and the building of it just blew my socks away.

the langauge was my favourite , it was full of that classic fantasy elements and joy , anger , sadness , overpowering emotions , basically the best 300-400 page fantasy roller-coaster i have been on to date .
so the people :
-katsa - a badass beauty of a human being , with a side helping of stabby stabby stuff( assassin )
-po - prince who sees a lot of things, most of the time, ( most adorable guy ever not lyin' )
-oll - a guy working with (assasin) katsa
-giddon - a (according to katsa and me ) a somewhat annoying (katsa )but still beautiful ( that part was me ), persevering ( katsa here but me too !) , good human ( my view , i think ..)
- bitterblue - super sweet , great girl for her age with prosperous parenting issues . ( she is(not in the book, but in my eyes is so great that she is ) from another planet , that is how good ok )* hands trophy for amazingness*

i cannot put my love for this novel into proper words , hence the lack .
but ! i love it , and so do you ok ? ok.

love ,
bookishwolf :)

I'm currently the most glad of glad people on this planet right now ( and for the rest of life ... I'm hoping ..) Thanks to this book.

Why you ask ?
Hang on tight + brace yourselves :
-CAL (tiberias CALORE) What a name he has . He probably has nice hair and is good with swords and stabby as hell could get . WAIT . No he is stabby and has good hair and I can't trust him for the life of me but what is there not to love about this boy? I have no clue . I know nothing , Jon Snow .
-MARE ( Mareena Titanos ) Her name reminds me of horses , which are cool , like her , just without the fancy x-men powers that our girl Mare here holds. the “little lightning girl” isn't as little as she seems . Be warned .
-MAVEN ( I don't know his last name ....) E v i l is the what I think he needs his last name to be . He did not only betray his bethrothed but ME , how dare he . Maven is a pineapple . Prickly and sweet , but mostly prickly.
-Queen Elana . She has an extent to her powers ??? They (silvers ) are not as incvincible as they seem . I know right ? cool . Don't look inside my head please . You won't find whatever it is your looking for.
-King ( with the big name with more than 5 words that I should know the name of by now but don't) Turns out king's try their best to do what they feel they must, so did this one. He loved Maven , so much that Maven was blinded by it and couldn't see . I don't have words for him , even though there wasn't an entire amount of him until the end .
Kilorn- He feels like Gale from the hunger games to me , if im being honest with humans today . He is cool .


I loved the contrast between the Reds and the Silvers . If I were to choose I feel like I'd be a little bit of both like Mare is , why not be both and stronger than just one or the other i ask ? This book happily answered it.


Glass Sword here I come !

signs up for me pain + anguish after reading the first page
gods . oh my gods. that was something else entirely . I loved how it ripped out my heart and made me run out of tears so that I had to drink water,so I could cry more.

The world was beautiful despite it being modern it was so interesting!!
why i cried and died :

• GARRET XAVIER SEBASTIAN , YOU BAMF ! excuse the language I am still heartbroken. HE an absolute angel, forget ST.george.


• DRAGONS EXIST, WAIT FOR IT , ALONGSIDE HUMANS. I KNOW GUYS,I KNOW.


• Ember, our main character, wants to be free and break free from the evil TAlon and Scary Talon Lady ( she lives up to that name. trust . me on this beans.


• RILEY IS A ROUGE ( dragon how broke free from talon and is being hunted by assassin dragons!!!

woahh. this book blew me away , just like the other one .
everything from the plot twists to the writing .. Samantha Shannon does it all so well !!
I need. the other book . please ?

Nick and Zeke !! oh my god they're my favs but then whyy would someone do that to nick ? I mean he's been through enough already !!

Paige really developed a whole ton . she is so rebellious and powerful and just a great girl ! cant wait to see what goes down in “ song rising “.

okay Jaxon . i love you loads you got that right ? yeah right . I know a LOT more about a certain JAXON HAll now ! still love the guy even though he is the way he really is .

overall I loved every single bit I just can't wait for more !!

well that didn't take long to read .... !
first off ! I really LOVe Patrick Ness , i got so freakin' pulled in by the book , that i forget that an actual human being , wrote it , with their hands , on paper . no joke .
It (again ) made me question what on earth I'm going to do in the future ?! ( questions are good things . )
the whole “ lets try and graduate before the school blows up guys !”concept was what kept me intrigued as well as the following :

+the teenagers had regular problems and were also diverse ! (#gorealisim)
+JARED WAS A LINE BACKER ( also math geek + g(y)ay
+a few tears were shed ( the characters cried too ,cmon)
+it ridiculously relate-able yet heart wrenching ( aren't most books ?)
+the cover and spine in general were quite pretty ( Quite , meaning quite artistic )
+I want to live in the world with all the indie kids and vampires and gods , even though college still exists there !! ( not forgetting exploding education facilities )
+ so much happened in under 400 pages
+Nathan ( drunk , dorky , hated ? ( why ?! ), loved )
+ going and convincing the world to read this book is now my sole purpose in life
+spooky deer and exploding cars are fun
+WHol book in general
+The never ending need for a sequel despite knowing what will happen to the characters .

Just about everything I adored about this book down in one review . * smiles* .
The book was the most perfect of perfect thing I have read in terms of contemporary books to date .

go forth , and read , . the book :) *

love , wordswolf

I think Mist (assassin DRagon) may have decided to scratch me with her claws while i read this book .
Because I felt all the emotions in the universal cosmos . In a good amount of words and pages .

Riley's underground was expanded on more ? I learnt more about Cobalt ( DRAGONRILEY) ‘s past and how he met WES ( Techy BAMF

this book was on fire . hahahaha . okay . im fine . i promise.

the setting was beautiful as always in this series ! the medieval setting and background and language was amazingly strung together . the book flowed like my infinite tears . i couldn't love it more if i tried or died .


FIRE- she was so fiery , has the best name , such great looks that every one loved her , oh and she has a horse , called Small , who i shall adopt . right now . just an overall amazing protagonist.

ARCHER- OK. YEAH . NOPE . NO WORDS. YOU KNOW IF YOU READ THEM OK ? . *WHISPERS * READ THEM ! he is an Archer , and he ..... things happen okay . too much .

NASH- hes king ( of my castle ) , young , drunk , funny , annoying , I Loved the guy .

BRIGAN - oh boy . brigandell you bae. he is everything in the whole universes into one person . i love him . so does Fire . i mean how couldn't you love a warrior , lord prince , who has a horse called Big . which i now have also adopted . BRIGAN is so beautfully crafted , + complicated i can'T RIght Now .

WAS THAT EVEN REAL ? DID I ACTUALLY HOLD THE BOOK IN MY HANDS ? NO. ( OK . yes . yes i did . i confess )


THERE WAS A QUEENDOM . LECK IS ANNOYING . VERY MUCH SO . IT WAS SOOOOO SAD AT TIMES . THE ROMANCE ??! ( NOT SURE IF THERE WAS ANY ?) BUT HEY , IT MADE ME CRY AND QUESTION MY LIFE CHOICES .
IT DID WELL !

the characters :
Bitterblue - Queen of Monsea , trying to sort out her QUEENDOM , and erase Leck's mark on it . she also is very much sneaky + likes to get things done .
Rood - adviser / healer dude .
Runnemood- yes , adviser ! healer ! dead adviser healer.
Darby- always drunk , tired ( me !drunk on BOOKS though . cmon . and tired because of books taking up my sleep , for good reasons ).
Teddy - cute guy who wont stop reading .
Saf ( Sapphire Birch , to me and bitterblue ) - ENDANGERED SPECIES OF ADORKABLENESS . MY FAVOURITE PERSON IN THE 7 KINGDOMS . BEWARE . HE WILL HIT YOUR FEELS RIGHT . OH AND HE IS A THIEF . BUT HE IS A THIEF . I LOVE THOSE.
wait .
don't ‘ forget one person.
DEATH ! - the actually real name of Bitter-blue's librarian , who keeps Cats and remembers every word he writes + reads.
I am honing on my skills to do the above . watch out .


TO ADD UP :
I love this book .
I love SAF .
It isn't driven by the romance ? ( the romance is questionable . )
read the book .
please.

love,
wordswolf

I've never eaten so many books so fast wow.

This was so good and my heart just exploded on the last page. Considering I was told to go to sleep but finished this book anyways must have some sort of significance ( I LOVE THESE BOOKS WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL AND I'VE SOULED IT TO MAGGIE STieFVATER )

Where can i get a Gangsey ?

consider my feels towards this if you will :

Ronan FREAKING LYCNH - he just is Ronan and i love the guy for that you know ? cant word it .

Blue - she is just so cool and brave and totally in love with Gansey Boy its unreal .

Noah Czerny - ( i still can't spell his name ... mm) HE is dead , but then again could live because of the favour and he's so sweet and won't stop petting blue's hair ? ( get you a boy who can do both peoples)

Gansey IIi - DO NOT DIE , he is king . I love how the way Gansey walks , talks , looks , is described like 132432435 times by almost all of the people in this series.

Adam Parrish - I loved the guy from day one . He's so troubled and needs a hug . And he is so quiet and observant i just want to high five him for that because same here Adam , same here .He is cabeswater , which is reason #475838333 as to why Parrish is so damn lovable .

The Raven King now awaits . Luckily all of these books are out already .

Love ,
bookishwolf

I read this whole 400 ish page masterpiece of artwork in 2 days flat out. I'M SCREAMING WITH DELIGHT !!!!!!!!!! NEW FAVOURITE SERIES EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD OF BOOKS OF EVER .
uhm , excuse me .


RONAN LYNCH YOU BEAUTIFUL MYSTERIOUS RICH BABY THAT KEEPS A RAVEN, while being a raven boy who has troubles,,, they alll do ??? I DO for gods sakes . (FAVOURITE BOY)

(DICK)gansey ,,, i couldn't tell you how beautiful gansey is actual English so here's my thoughts ( not in English , gansey doesn't deserve that , precious beautiful unicorn .) :
HIS NAME IS GANSEY
HE LOVES WELSH THINGS
HIS FIRST NAME IS DICK + HE LOVES ADAM (they're probs all gays , so same here boys )
THE WAY HE TALKS about blue
HIS HAIR
HIS GLASSES
HIS USE OF LANGUAGES
HE GOES TO AGLIONBY(?maybe misspelt) FOR CRYING OUT LOUD ( i am while staring at the book right now)
#1PRESIDENTMOBILEPHONETRASH .
HE HAS INSOMNIA ( SAME ! *high fives into next week *)
( BASCIALLY EVRYTHING THAT MAKES UP THE HUMAN THAT IS GANSEY )

ADAM PARRISH ,,, god ,, he is such a pure angel who needs to be hugged 24/7 and im up for the position , and available sign me up . HES SO TROUBLED. They all are , we all have problems . I HAVE NO WORDS FOR MY LOVE OF ADAM , he really admires GAnSEy a lot , so d o I , (FAVOURITE BOY)

NOAH CZERNY - gansey can't say his name . niether can i ?? Don't fret , I love the dude though . so silent yet deadly . my type . (FAV LIL BEAN )

Love , Bookishwolf :)

MY HEART HAS EXPLODED INTO A MILLION PIECES . IM TOTALLY HAPPY ! .
I COULDN'T HAVE WANTED A BOOK THAT WAS ANY DIFFRENT TO FILL MY RANDOM “ INSERT HEART HURTING CONTEMPORARY HERE “ HOLE IN MY HEART !!!!!
so . good !

characters !:
Theodore (Finch )- totally the cutest cinnamon roll on earth right now . minus(ing) what happened to hiM . he is so beautifully broken ? ( not a phrase but now is . ) and amazingly talented ( he sings !) and all sorts of cute too . and he has dark hair and drives and runs , as well . spirit animal alert ! .
Violet Markey (Ultraviolet )- she'S so sweet and kind and everything i could have wanted in a female protagonist in the book ? meeting a guy on a ledge ? and having the guts to step down and live life after the accident ? it takes someone to be able to do that ( given the horrid happenings) . I'm proud . and a little teared up too .

the book as whole opened up my eyes to a world that isn't always what someone would love it to be and trying to change it can ultimately be hard . I flew threw this in a couple nights and can i say every second was worth it . the plot twists , as sad as they may sometimes be , the dialogue :
FINCH WAS PRETENDING TO BE BRITISH . I . LOVE . BRITISH FINCH . AND BAD ASS FINCH AND ALL AMERICAN FINCH . I LOVE ALL FINCH.
it has food +++ families too which is always a massive plus ;
ALWAYS IN MY HEART : ALL OF THE BRIGHT PLACES !

basically it , for now about this one * rambles on about it forever *. but beware:
this book shall compromise your emotional beings peoples . ye have been warned .

love ,
bookishwolf

WOW.

I was scared to death during the last 50 or so pages.
I need more of the world ASAP.

WOW.

Mik is life.
