The Blood of Olympus is the fifth and final Heroes of Olympus book, and boy does the series go out with a bang!Just as in the previous books, the action picks up immediately where it left off in the book before. The demigods are still traveling the world in the Argo II with the Athena Parthenos statue, trying to complete their mission in time to stop Gaea from awakening. Every time Rick Riordan would remind us readers how many days were...
This is the second book in the Divergent Series by Veronica Roth. The review will definitely touch on subjects that are major plot points in the first book. So, if you are not a big fan of spoilers and think you may want to read this book, stop reading this review here. You can always read the review of Divergent and decide to read the book and then read this review later.By the end of the first book, Tris and Tobias (Four)...
This is a truly wonderful and epic book. The kind of book that keeps you up way past your bed time because you just can't get enough. As it turns out, it's the first book I rate 5 stars in 2016 and I expect it to remain at the top of my list, despite the fact the year has only just begun. I think it's the combination of great characters, an amazing fantasy world, epic battles and magic that makes this book so gripping. The series has only just begun...

I was so lost for so much of this book. I read Wicked Lovely last year and I guess it didn't really impact me. I spent much of the book trying to remember these characters, and whether or not I should like them.I didn't like any of them.The protagonist is in a HORRIFIC life situation, with an absentee dad who can't even manage to pay the power bill and a recent sexual assault and a drug dealer brother. She makes this great ( <-- sarcasm) life...
I think it might be obvious what brought this choice to mind since recently SyFy has started airing a TV series on this book series. So, let's address the 800 pound CG gorilla in the room: This is NOT made by the same folks who gave us Sharknado. The TV show Expanse is a well done small screen adaptation of the book series. Yes, there are differences between the two but, it is a case of Vive la difference! Now, we have two...

City of Ashes is the second book in the Mortal Instruments series, so there will be spoilers in this review for the first book, City of Bones. You've been warned. Also, this is kind of a "Throwback Thursday" type of review. Here on Tynga's Reviews, we've already reviewed books #3, #4, #5, and #6; but not #2! Here we go...(A quick aside on the cover: the focal point is Clary's chest. Does that bother anyone else?)City of Ashes opens...
Suzanne Wright brings us into a world where the more animalistic side isn't just considered, often it is obeyed almost without question. It's a world in which pack means more than family or even self. For people such as Taryn, Roscoe and Trey, it is a world they each try to control and each trying to stay on top.I will always be the first to insist that a good entertaining book is not necessarily synonymous...
When I first read the synopsis of the book, I was really intrigued. I liked the idea of God, or a version of God being reborn in our present world and time. Despite the original ideas, I had a really hard time getting through the whole book. For the most part, the story was captivating, and I always wanted to know what happened next. However, despite the fascinating scenes, it was too difficult to overlook certain things.First off, let me say...

This is such a neat quartet of books! You really need to read all four to get the best appreciation, but each one could also be a standalone. That really impresses me, that Lois Lowry pulled that off. If you read The Giver, Gathering Blue, and Messenger you are in for a real treat in Son: the main characters from the previous three books are all present and accounted for in it!Son is told in three parts, with multiple chapters in each part. There...
How far can sisterly love take a person and is there such thing as too far in such a case? Those questions never occur for the mild mannered Clara when it comes to her sister Maren.The Mermaid's Sister is what I would think a modern day fairy tale should be. It is full of unusual people who are put in extreme circumstances that call on a perseverance of will and character to make it through. No, it is not modern in the...
Magonia is a magnificent and exceptional debut novel. That said, it's not a book that will be enjoyed by everyone. I think it's meant for readers that are able to look beyond the physical world and are able to stretch their imagination. I mean, there's bird people, skyships, floating cities in the sky and talking birds. Lots of birds. But it's also about strong human connections, family and love. It's beautifully written and evokes strong emotions...
