↠ Queen
of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas ↞
Read the full summary and check out other books by Sarah J. Maas on this Goodreads link.
Quick overview:
Amy Smith has always felt like she doesn't belong. Like she doesn't quite fit in with the world around her - she doesn't even feel like she fits her own name.
So when Amy starts dreaming of a male voice calling out to a girl named "Marla," she doesn't know why she feels like she is the one being called for.
One night when the darkness of her dreams clear, she finally meets Lief and their forbidden love that follows is one that will change both their worlds...
Personal opinion on the book:
This book literally killed me! I could not put this book down! And when I did put it down, it was only because I couldn't breathe. This book was the most gut wrenching thing I have ever read. I seriously believe that Sarah J. Maas is actually a super human. These book will go down in history and I am so pleased that I was able to read it...
The book it's self, similarly to most of Maas' other novels has incredible and amazing plot and character development. Which is the number one thing I look for in a book.
I am the BIGGEST FAN of the multiple POV's (point of views) and I can say that my emotions were taken on a roller coaster during the progression of the book.
Things that really surprised me about this book was the fact that characters who I used to love, I now hate and (slightly gruesomely) planned their death's... I don't want to be too much of a spoiler, but one character, *cough* Choal *cough* deserves to be eaten by Lysandra...
But, more importantly, lets talk about my Manon. Below is the most stunning image of my darling. Although in this review I am not going to discuss all of the characters and events that take place. I just have to mention my favorite moment, when Manon and Aelin fight. It is truly the best moment in the book and what happens at the end of the fight left me is shock, a fit of fan-girl giggles and a huge smile.

I have been messing around with the formatting of my blog a lot lately, and I am thinking of maybe redesigning my banner and possibly coming up with some art that will be a replacement of those five little squiggly line that I have above...
Question: Do you think I should redesign my banner? If so, do you have any ideas?

On another note, I have just been notified that I have to hand my laptop in for it to get software update. So basically, I am going to be completely without a laptop on the upcoming summer holidays! AND I AM DEVASTATED! I am going to have to result to using the family desktop (which is so slow and old) to update my blog!
I am literally so close to just going out and buying myself a new laptop. Just for the soul purpose of being able to post on my blog!!!
Rant over, but I am still so upset that I may be 7-8 weeks without my laptop...
Until next time, keep reading!
