The Tigers Curse

The Tigers Curse

Colleen Houck

On sunday, I read the Tigers Curse by Colleen Houck and was amazed. This book was like nothing I had ever read before and I was hooked before the end of the first chapter. In a quite terrible comparison of the book, I found it similar to the Percy Jackson series because of its way with Indian mythology, teaching me the myths and culture of india as I read through the book. I found the entire thing fascinating! My favorite part was how Colleen brought back old myths from India as well as other aspects from the culture that I could easily relate to from my time there. I also really liked how the story  was based off of a curse that has been a famous indian myth for centuries and how the entire thing was so historically and mythologically correct. This fantasy novel is a total of 400 pages long and could be either a two week book or a one week book. In conclusion, I LOVED this book and have already ordered the rest of the books in the series from the library.

The Raven 

Boys

Maggie 

Stiefvater

This week, I read the  Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater author of Shiver and the Scorpio Races both of which have been on my reading list for quite a long time now. I really, really liked this book because it was unlike anything I have ever read before: not only is the atmosphere and storyline extremely creative, but it was the graceful writing style that really fascinated me. It almost seemed to flow through the entire book like a river going twisting and turning whenever the storyline became intense/fast moving, the entire thing was almost whimsical. Blue the only non psychic in a house of psychs has been always been told that if she kisses her true love than they will die, this had never been a problem for her, until she crossed paths with the raven boys. Adam, Gansey, Ronan and Noah are four friends that have been caught up in a hopeless search for an old fairytale. Until they crossed paths with Blue, their quest had been hopeless. Now everything is much much more dangerous. being a total of four hundred pages this fantasy novel could be either a one or two week book.

NEXT WEEK
The Scorpio Races

The Seer and the Sword

Victoria Hanley

For my book of the week, I read the Seer and the Sword. Unlike many cingular books, I really enjoyed this book for the writing style and the fast and creative storyline. Victoria Hanley had a very interesting writing style that i had never really read before. Unlike most books with a lot of characters, I was never overwhelmed or confused when reading, but instead I found myself merging and recognizing each distinguished personality. One of my favorite parts of the book was how the two different main story lines played out and interconnected without the characters knowing; there was never too much joy, or anger that was used to make the characters seem cheesy, only a relatable sadness. Being a whooping three hundred and fifty page fantasy book this could be either a one or two week book. If you liked books like the False Prince, Blink or Divergent I would recommend this book to you.

The Enchanter Heir

Cinda Williams Chima 

Over the weekend, I read the Enchanter Heir by Cinda Williams Chima. Being the fourth book in the Heir Chronicles, I had a lot of fun reading this book and I was really intrigued by the writing style. Told in two perspectives; the story is intwined in a combination of mystery and magic. I also really enjoyed how the book was written in modern day time and how I could relate to the book and storyline because of that. For most people, the Enchanter Heir is probably a two week book,  consisting of 450 words, I often re-read chapters, paragraphs and pages just so that i could understand the fantasy genre. I have loved every book in the Heir Chronicles and this book was no different, if you enjoyed any books such as the Night Circus, City of Bones or the Percy Jackson Series, then I would defiantly recommend this book.
