Review By: Sasha


This book is about a girl in a cult. And then...she remebers things. And stuff happenes. And it would really be fun to have a discussion about this book with people. But no one reads these books.


The shape-changers wife

The shape-changers wife


Sharon Shinn



Review By: Sasha



This is a very well written book. I did like the ending on this one even though it didnt end the way most books end. And that made it good. The book is fantacy and its about a...i think the kids a wizard but he goes to be an apprentice of the shape changer who everyone is afraid of. the shape changers wife is like devoid of emotion and for a good reason whick you find out as you read the book.


The Truth-Teller's tale

The Truth-Teller's tale


Sharon Shinn



Review By: Sasha


Review:

This book is like the safe keepers secret but it does not follor the same character. It is instead about two twin girls. One who is a safe keeper, one who is a truth teller. I immediatly hated the safe keeper. She was horrible obnoxious. This made me a bit less satisfied with the book. It was a nice tale. Predictable at times, mostly annoying the way events unfolded leaving the truth-teller look like a fool. Read it or dont. Its no big deal.


Messenger

Messenger


Lois Lowery



Review By: Sasha


Have you read the Giver? And ifyou have, you may have read Gathering Blue. Gathering blue contains characters from the Giver. In this book, messenger, It talks about both characters from the Giver and Gathering Blue. Itis about another, i guess what i would call and odd world, a sort of utopia.

It is a good book.I reccomend reading the giver and gathering blue first although they are not sequals and you could read Messenger just fine without reading the first two. Again, it was a good book.But the end could be summed up in two words. But i wont tell you. read the book.

The Safe- Keeper's Secret

The Safe- Keeper's Secret


Sharon Shinn



Review By: Sasha


The Safe-keeper's sercret is a fantacy tale that has Dream makers that make dreams come true, truth tellers that are loud and dont lie and safe-keppers that dont tell secret until it is time (and then the truth teller will say it) The book is told from Fiona. She is raised with her mother and brother. Her mother is a safe-kepper. On the night that Damiana (fiona's mom) gave birth, another child was brought to the house. It's just a good book.

This Novel is wonderful. You think you know what its about and you think that you know what is going to happen and then it changes. And then you think you know thing but you dont really. Then you say "well i could have guessed that" and maybe you could have but you didnt but even so something else is going to happen that you didnt expecty even if it was your greatest with for it to happen! I reccomend this book for all.

Valiant

Valiant


Holly Black



Review By: Shelby


Holly Black came back! She was the Author of Tithe, a Modern Faerie Tale. I forget this one's subtitle... A modern tale of Faerie, i think. lol.

Anyway this one's about Val. She shaves her head and runs away to New York and meets up with these homeless kids. They do drugs and work for Folk, which are everywhere, by the way. Val starts working for a troll named Ravus. And then the Seelie court is involved and ooh can't give too much away!

This was a really good book (of course, it was Holly Black's). It wasn't a sequel to Tithe, but i takes place in the same world. Hm... The end was kind of... unbelieveable. but that's ok. I really liked the beginning. It reminded me of the beginning of a movie. right after it would roll opening credits... ha. Read this book, don't do drugs.
