Book Review - The Wastelands

The Wastelands

(Dark Tower III)

Stephen King

7 Stars
422 Pages
Fiction / Fantasy / Western / Thriller / Mystery

This book begins with Roland, Suzanna and Eddie following the beam on their mission for the Dark Tower, Eddie and Suz are apprentice gunslingers and along with learning how to shoot, they and we are treated to more about how the world was before it "moved on". The Old Ones -who are turning point between this time and the time before it- sound like something out of a satirical science fiction, from the hints given we are lead to believe in a nuclear war and/or biochemical warfare. The war happened for an unknown reason, between people with incredible technologies, such as; cyborgs and possibly the ability to travel though time and space.
Having altered the past in New York, Roland has created a paradox in time, and that knowledge of what has been, could be and will be has started to tear his mind into pieces, as the madness snowballs a race against time begins to save the gunslingers sanity.
As if that is not enough they must still find and draw the third foretold person into their party.

I am loving this other side of King and when I start or end a book I keep wondering why I didn't get into them sooner because they are just amazing. A neutral note for the books, each is so different from the others that I just can't get into a rhythm with reading them. While they have action packed seconds where you can't put the book down they lack King's usual babbling lulls, this is such a clear and fleshed out realm and their are increasing references to other King works as we go along (which I love)
About half way through this I found out that the fourth book is about Rolands past and I rushed through the final chapters a little faster than I should have probably.

2017 is the year they come out with the Dark Tower movie and I am hoping it drives more people to these novels because they are SO worth reading!!!

Top 5 Wednesday - January

January 4th: 2017 Goals 

1. My goodreads challenge is only 52 books so 1 book a week which I know is feasible, but my personal goal is 3 books a week for a total of 163
2. Finish getting my back tattooed
3. Keep up with my blog and get a youtube channel started again
4. Go to the gym 3/4 days a week minimum (I was really good last year until December, I am getting back into it now and hope I continue through the year again)
5. Get my dairy allergy in check, which will help everything, acne, health, gym performance.

January 11th: 2017 Debuts You Are Excited For 

I only have two for this one, I kind of just pick things up as I go. I don't plan super far in advance and the books I am really waiting for in 2017 are the final novels in a few series.

1. The Hate U Give, Angie Thomas
2. The Best is an Animal, Peternelle van Arsdale

January 18th: Favorite Polarizing Books 

1. Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien. Obviously very very popular and with the newish movies I know lots of people who picked these up for the first time and hated them because of how much they drag on. The writing is not for everyone and I struggled as well until I got the audiobook which are amazing. It still did take me almost two years too read the full series and the hobbit. 
2. Twilight, Stephanie Meyer. If you don't know about this where have you been?
3. Infernal Devices, Cassandra Clare. I hated the moral instruments which are boring and drag on and on, but I loved this and i'm not the only one, but people who really loved the contemporariness of TMI were really against these companion novels 
4. Stephen King's works & The Dark Tower which are two categories within themselves. 
5. 
   

January 25th: Favorite Underrated Books 

I struggled with this topic way more than I thought I would, turns out most of the things I've read lately have been really popular or books that would have been on this list 12 or even 6 months ago have recently been put in the spotlight. 

1. The Pellinor Series, Allison Croggon
2. Tamora Pierce *She must have a huge fanbase because of how many books she's published in multiple languages but her novels aren't really talked about. 

Book Review - The Drawing of Three

The Drawing of Three

(The Dark Tower II)

Stephen King

8 Star
Pages
Fiction / Series / Thriller / Horror / Mystery / Adventure / Fantasy

I have become totally obsessed with this series! How did I not read it sooner!
Roland is the last Gunslinger and his destiny is to reach the Dark Tower. In the last book we were introduced to his world while questing after the Dark Man. In this novel Roland is completing the prophecy spoken by the oracle, that he would draw three people from our world into his own. These people will help him reach the tower.

I loved this book so much! I am normally a King fan and I  know that his style is not for everyone but this series is the exception to that rule. The set up is just as detailed but the novels flow at a faster pace, there is tons of action, it does not fall into the horror genera; any fan of epic fantasy would love it too. If you like Westerns I would recommend these as well. The characters are amazing,  it would give too much away to go into detail, but it is easy to picture them as real people. The world is relatable and logical, which isn't always important but I keep coming back to that fact and if alternate realities and everything did exist this is how I picture them.

I would love to hear what you think of The Dark Tower and/or Stephen King :)

Book Review - City of Bones

The City of Bones

(The Mortal Instruments #1)

Cassandra Clare

7 Stars
485 Pages
Easy Reads
YA/ Paranormal / Supernatural / Fantasy

We are introduced to the Shadow-Hunter world; witches, warlocks, vampires, angels and demons live among us, hidden behind a veil of magic. We meet Clarey and her best friend Simon, two normal humans, or so it seems. Until Clarey's mother goes missing and she meets Jace. Finds out that she too is a ShadowHunter. Drawn into this unbelievable new world, fighting to hold onto her old life, looking for her mother, fighting the forces of darkness, all while trying to survive being a teenager is a tall order but with a little help Clarey just might get though it.

This was a reread for me, I am planning to binge read through most of Cassandra Clares books in the next couple of months. I liked the book when I first read it (when it first came out) and was planning on reading the rest of the novels but they hadn't been released yet and my interest shifted away while I was waiting. Being older and closer in age to the target audience than I was on my first read I picked up on way more references and "clued in" in a way that I missed the first time. I really liked the world, the characters, the writing style, pretty much everything I don't really have any major complaints. There are lots of typical cliches fallowed (without spoiling too much) the choices or characters and there dynamic, some insta-love, characters oblivious to obvious infatuation, a few small plot holes or information used to fill a plot hole that doesn't really fit.
All in all I will be continuing these books and I think if you read them at the right time and didn't have as much of the YA genera read as I do the books would totally live up to there hype. Worth recommending
*and on a side note my boyfriend loved the books (9 Stars) and has read the whole series so bonus points for the rating

Book Review - The City of Ashes

The City of Ashes 

(Mortal Instruments #2)

Cassandra Clare

6 Stars
453 Pages
Ya / Fantasy / Paranormal / Supernatural


This was a typical second installment of a longish series. We got quite a few little answers to questions from the first novel and the information we already had was expanded on. There was action, but a lot of things were left unresolved, my biggest issue was the character dynamics, which were either at a stand still or ran in circles. However I got the impression it is building up to a few major climax's between several sets of characters and that there is going to be almost a first and second "half" of the series marked by the end of the third book.

The Summary is below this page break
There are Spoilers so BEWARE! I did try to leave out as many as possible so it is a bit of a point blank style

Book Review - The Gunslinger

The Gunslinger 

(The Dark Tower I)

Stephen King

7 Stars
231 Pages
Fiction / Fantasy / Horror / Thriller / Mystery 

I have this series as an omnibus, which has been sitting on my TBR shelf being daunting and terrifying for at least a couple of years now. I was very pleasantly surprised at how fast I got through this first book. It was the perfect size to introduce me to this amazing but vast world. We meet Roland - who I have read about in quite a few other King novels, including The Talisman, The Black House and Little Sisters of Eluria - he is our main character and I love him. Roland is a Gunslinger, and he is chasing the "Man in Black". Jumping between the past and the present we learn about the land, the world, the people and its customs. I don't want to go into detail because I would be giving too much away but it is action packed and beautiful.
Any lover of epic fantasy - The Songs of Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones, Redwall, or The Books of Pellinor - will love these novels. A totally different breed of King novel, that still holds onto the essence of King.

Book Review - World War Z

World War Z

Max Brooks

My First Read of 2017!!!!

7 Stars
13 hour audbiobook
Zombies/ Apocalypse / Horror / Fiction

The world has ended, the human race all but overrun by zombies. These are the tales of people from all around the world as they discovered what happens when the dead stop being dead and start craving human flesh. From where the disease is thought to have originated to the conclusion of the 'Zombie War'.

Been on and off my TBR list, I was into anything zombie for a short while and then I didn't want to read anything zombie for quite some time. Then I saw the movie (and it was awesome) so I put the book back on my TBR list, but then I heard the book was nothing like the movie and off it went again. And now I have finally read it because of The Girl With All the Gifts, M R Carey.
I thought this was one of the better zombie books that I have read. It has a very cool format being a "oral history of the zombie war" and it more of a compilation of individual stories than an ongoing novel. Although the stories are told in a chronological order so the reader can understand more or less the big picture as well. Very well written and I listened to it on audiobook but I am pretty sure it would be a quick and easy read as well.  Overall this is one of my middle of the road novels. Did I enjoy it? yes Would I recommend it? yes, a 100% must read for zombie fans. Is it my new favorite book? no. Is it a book for everyone? no. Will I read other novels by Max Brooks? I would say maybe (if the topic is right) leaning towards a yes!

Won't Be Finishing 
*This will be the last time I add this category
*There are a bunch of reasons for not finishing these: outgrowing the series, not enjoying the first novel, enjoying the first novel or first couple of books but its has been so long since I read them and they have fallen so far back in my TBR, to reread the first novels and then get onto the next books is unlikely. If I didnt list how many books in the series I have read it means I only read the first novel.
*There is also a chance that I could pick one of these up again but I would need a few really good recommendations and reasons before I change my mind - I am sorry if one of these is your favourite
