Rebel Heart- Moira Young

Book 7 of My Summer Reading Challenge

My rating: 4/5 Stars

It is no secret that when there is a good book at the beginning of a series, this causes the sequel to be disappointing. However, I feel like this didn't happen with this book. There was still so many twists and turns with surprises along the way which kept me on my toes and it pushed me to read further.

The only reason that this book did not get 5/5 stars, is due to the fact that I thought that it wasn't completely up to the standards which was set from 'Blood Red Road' even though I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I just found that it was slower-paced than the first book and there wasn't as much going on.

The Jack story was interesting as throughout the book, I constantly kept changing my mind as events occurred. "He obviously got forced into it" or "He has some reason for doing this and has a plan."

Let me tell you one thing, I was expecting there to be a love triangle somewhere in this book, because main characters are never able to have a happy relationship without something coming in between them at some point but I definitely was not expecting there to be a love square. That was an interesting touch.

The characters have developed so much in this book, such as with Lugh who actually has a main part in this book and he obviously has some secrets which he is keeping which just makes him more intriguing.

I would like to read the next and final book of this trilogy, but I do not currently own a copy and I will not go out of my way to get one, so if I manage to find a cheap copy of this book in the near future, I most definitely will purchase it to find out what happens in the end. especially with DeMalo.

Blood Red Road- Moira Young

Book 6 of My Summer Reading Challenge

My rating: 5/5 Stars

If truth be told, I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did, especially when starting the book with the bad grammar which I found hard to read and understand what was being said but as the book progressed I found that I was able to understand it better and I was reading it as I could read a normal book and I thought that it was a god way to get the feel of the character.

Nero is one bad ass crow. By far my favourite character of this book. without him they would be most likely dead, he is just so cunning and is almost like a human. From the start, I knew that he would have some significance and a larger part to play later on in the story.

I do not feel that this was one book as I look back on the story. there just seems to be that so much happened and it all managed to fit into the book perfectly without having it rushed and crammed in so that the writer is able to get down all of the story that they want. For this I say well done to Moira Young. the book was fast paced and there was always something that was going on which had me sitting up straight on the edge of y seat wanting more.

Needless to say that it was hard for me to put this book down as I started and I managed to finish the book in two large parts. I had to be physically be brought away from the book because I just wanted more and to see what the outcome would be at the end.

With most stories, the first book is amazing which causes the second book not to be up to standards. I shall be starting the second book tomorrow and I just hope that the standards and the storyline can live up to the high expectations which I have due to this book being brilliant.

It isn't hard for me to say that this book deserves the film which it is receiving from Ridley Scott, because it certainly well does. Think about all the books which have been made into films such as The Hunger Games, this book was much better than The Hunger Games and therefore, without a doubt deserves all of the praise which it is getting.
