Scarlet - Marissa Meyer

Book: Scarlet
Author: Marissa Meyer
Releasedate: the 5th of February, 2013

I was finally able to read the second book in the series, which now has a beautiful spot between the rest of my books! Yay for birthdays! Wishlist fulfilment!

We get to know Scarlet. At first I was confused what had happened to Cinder, but eventually everything became clear in the end. The story clearly shows that the worldbuilding is pretty much done in the world of Cinder and Scarlet, so characterbuilding for the win!  

The story is catchy, intriguing and I really love the way Marissa builds this world and how it works. Where you only know Cinder in "Cinder", you really feel there is more too it than it seems in this novel.

It's fun, it's exciting, it's excruciating, it's marvellous. We meet Wolf, start to care for the grandmère of Scarlet and the whole story just simply captivated me. Marissa's version of little Red Riding Hood is amazing. I just loved it. 

For every fairytale lover, this series is just a must read. 

A Court of Frost and Starlight - Sarah J. Maas

Book: A Court of Frost and Starlight
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Releasedate: The 1st of May, 2018

I was still reading Acowar when the newest book to my collection came in. Pre-ordered ofcourse, though it had some delay. And I know it is a sequel/prequel but dang, I wished the book was bigger. This wasn't enough, lol. 

We see what happens after the War, how everyone copes and not copes with the shit that happened and happens. And that is great to read. To see what that shit does to people.

The previous books sometimes had scenes that were written from a different point of view in the story, and I liked that. Acofas is different. Like almost every chapter has been told from the point of view from someone else and that needed some adjusting from my side. But still, it was rather enjoyable and I really can't wait to read the next book! 

I'll keep this one brief, to avoid spoilers. ;-) 

A Court of Wings and Ruin - Sarah J. Maas

Book: A Court of Wings and Ruin

Author: Sarah J. Maas

Releasedate: 2nd of May, 2017

It took me way to long to read this one, but life caught up on me, so I really didn't have much time left to read while my nose was stuck in schoolbooks. But I finally did it! For the second time, lol. 

I just love the way Feyres world works. I loved the part where we got to know the other High Lords better, and everyone and everything else. This book is definitely longer than the previous two, so it has some much story to it. Political parts as well which made me yawn a bit, honestly, but hey, it's part of everything that happens. 

Tears were shed the first time I read it, luckily it didnt this time or it would have been awkward seeing me all soggy over a book in the train amidst unknowing passengers. 

It gave me chills, and heartbreak, and relief, and joy to see everything unfurl. Sarah managed to captivate me once mere even when I already read the book. 

And now I can finally start reading in the sequel/prequel: A Court of Frost and Starglight! It came yesterday with the mail(finally!) after being delayed a few days. (gah!)
