Book Review - Endgame Sky Key By James Frey

Endgame Sky Key is the second book in what I think is going to be a trilogy by James Frey.

 

The first key, Earth Key, has been found and the remaining nine players in the game have to fight for the last two keys. Only one person can win. But Aisling Kopp thinks that Endgame can be stopped and then she meets the CIA, they know about Endgame and they want Aisling to help them. On the other side of the world Sarah and Jago are winning with Earth Key. The other players are spread throughout the rest of the world and they will stop at nothing to get Sky Key.

I loved this book. I read the first one earlier this year and it was just as good. It kind of has some of the Hunger Games feels to it in some ways but in others it's the total opposite. All these people are stuck in the game trying to find these keys in order to win but they are able to travel all around the world and the keys could be anywhere. One thing I love about this book is that it is told from all the player's perspectives, this allows the reader to get to know all the characters equally and not just the main ones. I rate this book a 4/5 stars.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes The Hunger Games and to anyone who likes adventure, action books in general.

Book Review - Rebel Belle By Rachel Hawkins

Rebel Belle is the first book in Rachel Hawkins Rebel Belle series.

The main character, Harper Price, lives in Southern America and has always wanted to be homecoming queen. But after a strange night at that dance she ends up with incredible powers of strength and fighting instincts. She figures out she is a Paladin from an ancient line of guardians, but she doesn't know who she's supposed to be protecting. But then she realizes it's David Stark who is her least favourite person in the world and to add to that David's fate may or may not destroy Earth.

Rebel Belle is a great blend of romance, humour, action and magic. Harper is a great character who is very dedicated to her school work and loves fashion. She also can be very funny and the author does a brilliant job at showing off her personality. I also loved reading about how the relationship between Harper and David developed and how they explored and discovered more about Harper's powers and why she had to protect David. I was so engrossed in this book I couldn't put it down, though at times the plot was slow and the main action part was at the very end, leaving the book in a very frustrating cliff hanger!! I would rate this book a 4.5/5 stars. 

I am so excited to read the sequel and I would recommend it to anyone.

Book Review - Six Of Crows By Leigh Bardugo

This book is the first in a new series by Leigh Bardugo. 

It is set in the same world as in the author's old trilogy, The Grisha Trilogy, but follows completely different characters, this means you don't need to read the other books before this one. It follows a criminal called Kaz Brekker who has been offered a lot of money to go on a very dangerous heist. But Kaz knows he can't pull it off alone so he puts together a crew of six outcasts in order to have a chance.

The world is very magical and unique and Leigh Bardugo did an amazing job at bringing her world to life for the reader. All the characters were great fun and we even got an insight into a few of their backgrounds as children. I loved the fact that the book was told by the criminals of the story rather than the heroes and that made it even more unusual to read. The author's writing style flowed so well and I really want to read her other trilogy after reading this book. I also can't wait for it's sequel to come out! I will rate it a 5/5 stars!

I highly recommend this book, and if you have already read it or Leigh Bardugo's other series tell me what you thought.
