The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2)The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

By the time the novel arrived at my doorstep I was gleefully caressing the book like a maniac. I was totally head over heels on its beauty.



I was so eager to read the book, alas, I didn't have the time until weeks later.

The anticipated wait for months was worth it.

Unwind (Unwind, #1)Unwind by Neal Shusterman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

More reviews at the Book Escapist.

Unwind is those type of rare books that really makes you think back about the sad reality of human nature. The pain people bring to children that are abandoned by their parents.

Now, I'm not gonna ramble about the style of writing or the usual stuffs, but I'm going to elaborate further on the principles as well as the plot of this book -- they are simply thought provoking.

Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1)Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HOLY SMOKIN' ASS.

That was... phenomenal! I can't even say... I'm rendered speechless by it's amazingness (is that even a word?).

Seriously though, I cannot believe this is Leigh Bardugo's debut novel. At all. The writing style, characters, the plot, the world building was almost perfect. It's terrifying how accomplished Bardugo is on her very first novel.

Shadow and Bone was that good until the point I stayed awake util 5 AM in the morning to finish the book entirely. I spent six hours reading and unable to stop myself at all. All I could think about was "I must finish this bloody brilliant book."

GO AND GET THE DAMN BOOK. YOU'LL MISS OUT A LOT.
