Review: Four: A Divergent Collection

Four: A Divergent Collection by Veronica Roth

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



So I actually finished this around three something this morning, but I thought I would behave and go to sleep and wait until this morning to write my feelings up. And even after a few hours of sleep, I absolutely loved this book. Just like her previous books, I finished Four in less than two days. It makes me want to read Divergent all over again. Reading so much of their world from Four's point of view makes me crave more of this world. It makes me crave more of the characters and the lives that they have begun to mold for themselves. It reminds me of how much I love the world that Ms. Roth has created. I really think it is a beautiful place, very intricate and always changing. I truly hope she does continue to build in it one day. And even more than that, I truly hope that she continues to write more no matter what world it is in.

As it stands, I highly recommend Four and the entire Divergent world to anyone who has not yet had the opportunity to explore it. It is well worth the read.

Review: The Emperor's Soul

The Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I have to thank my friend Korey for this one. He not only recommended Brandon Sanderson to me, but also lent me this particular story which I enjoyed very much. I love the way that Sanderson presented the story. It is very rich and involving. I loved learning about the characters and about this world that they're a part of. And now I find, I want to read more. I want to read more of his work and hopefully more of these characters though I'll definitely have to see if that is possible or not. I certainly plan to read and review more of his work in the future. For those lovers of fantasy, I highly recommend this particular short story. It is exciting, thrilling and there is a sense of awe it leaves you with that is hard to ignore. And in the end, you want to keep reading which, I believe, is the best part about it all.

Review: Letting Go

Letting Go by Mary Beth Lee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



All I have to say is I was so disappointed...when it ended. I wanted to keep reading. Miss Lee very thoroughly brought the cast of characters to life and I wanted to read more about them. I wanted to immerse myself in the lives of Clarissa Dye and the Dillons. Mary Beth builds a world that is real and not overbearing in its Christian themes, something I have found that can be very hard to do. The characters are sincere and very relate-able. And though this review is much shorter than my usual, I truly believe that everyone should give it a chance and hopefully come to love Stearns and its residents as much as I do.
