The Girl of Fire and Thorns

I really can’t fathom why I found to love reading this book. My excitement for fantasy books could be the driving force, but for sure I loved this work by Rae Carson.
The Girl of Fire and Thorns is such an intriguing title, isn’t it? It is enchanting as a citadel, promising as its young protagonist—Elisa, the young princess chosen in this century for greatness despite her naivete and ordinary existence in the kingdom. It is a destiny ushered with danger from those who seek her which could mean her death. She has to become the secret wife to a handsome and worldly king whose country and people she is fated to save.
Princess Elisa will wage her life, and not later her heart, and she knows that she could not fail. But what chances does she have against enraged savage enemies with powerful dark magic? Will she be able to save the man who looks at her like no other man can and be everything to those who need her most? Most of the chosen ones die young fulfilling their destiny—and the prophecy. Will she be one of them?
Personally, I was stunned at how the story surges through the leaves of the book. I was excited about the breathtaking journey, of the spine-chilling encounters and daunted by the overwhelming power of magic. The Girl of Fire and Thorns is a fantasy novel presented exceptionally through its beautiful ensemble of adorable characters, wonderful backdrop and engrossing plot that could keep its readers wanting for more. I would say it is a simple but excellent success!

Catching Fire

New game, new rules, the same thrill and excitement… Right when they thought the game was over, they realized it has only just begun… It was mixed feelings that plagued me when I read The Hunger Games’ sequel,  Catching Fire . At the outset, I was reassured that despite the excruciating scenes I witnessed during the game, Katniss and Peeta could finally breath the air of freedom when the shackles of oppression and dominance were unleashed by their inspiring triumph in the arena. They survived the first death-defying wallop of the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, they had vanquished the other contenders in a battle to death, and they were ready to see the world—their own fragile, little world in District 12 where their families were waiting in anticipation and joy that they made it through. Yet, things didn’t turn out the way Katniss wanted them to be.  Things were not getting better for her and her long-time friend Gale. Peeta had done far worse that it broke her heart. An
