The Secret of Drue Isle

The Light Between Worlds by Laura E. Weymouth My rating: 4 of 5 stars "The heart of a woman falls back with the night, And enters some alien cage in its plight, And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars" Oh boy, had I expected this book to be completely opposite of what I got? Yes. A thousand times. Weymouth has a way with words. Each sentence contained a deep thought and emotion. Some people thought that this book is similar to Lewis's 'The Chronicles of Narnia'. I disagree, however. This book definitely has a similar concept to that beautiful series, and the characters are similar too. The thing about this book is that it says more about finding your way back home. The age-old question: Who am I? Where do I belong? Further, Weymouth also explores a bond of sisterhood. The book is divided into two perspectives told in the first person, which I thought was interesting. When I star...

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Seek: The Strange Case Continues by Anthony O'Neill My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thanks, Edelweiss for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. "The measure of man's unhappiness is the distance between where he is and where he aspires to be." I honestly don't know why I picked up this book. Probably because it was about Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. After reading this book, I feel like I want to read that classic book for the full experience. Firstly, I would like to say that I did not in any way expect the twist at the end. I started the book with a very low expectation. I thought it was going to be extremely boring, but it was the opposite of that. A good surprise, I suppose. Everyone knows about Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde or I hope everyone has at least heard about them. Well, yeah they are purely fictional, but that is the place where the fun starts. In this book, O'Neill writes extremely swif...

Cinder by Marissa Meyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars “But if there was one thing she knew from years as a mechanic, it was that some stains never came out.” I can staunchly tell that this book is the best re-telling I have read ever. Note that I read this book a year ago and just adding the review. So, Cinder is like any other Cinderella with a small difference. She is a cyborg. Yes, you heard me right. Well, I wouldn't say that she is a robot. She is human. She just has some appendages replaced and the cause as to why that happened is quite dark. She has the worst aunts. Not one, but two. Imagine the pain. She is a Lunar Princess, and she doesn't even know that. Her injuries are caused by an aunt she didn't know she had. There are a lot of things she doesn't know. So, her story is that of self-discovery. When she learns the truth, everything changes. I feel that the first and the last book in the series are the best. I don't know if that is some kind of P...
