Renegades - Marissa Meyer

Book: Renegades
Author: Marissa Meyer
Releasedate: 7th of November, 2017

As a true Lunar Chronicles fan, I just had to read this one. To see how Marissa would fare in a different setting with a different background. And to be really honest; I liked this book, but not as much as I did like the Lunar Chronicles. 

It was enjoyable to read and as always easy to read thanks to her writing style. 

For those who do not like superheroes and villains, it still can be an enjoyable story to read. It's better if you like superpowers and such and I must say I like the diversity of powers that are displayed in this book. 

Though I liked the story, it did have some clichés that were pretty much dripping of the pages. It didn't surprise me as much as the Lunar Chronicles did. 

Still, I'm definitely gonna read the next book as soon as I get my hands on it. 

The Red Scrolls of Magic - Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

Book: The Red Scrolls of Magic
Authors: Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu
Releasedate: 9th of April 2019

I always wondered what happened with Alec and Magnus when they went on their vacation. While reading the Mortal Instruments, you definitely wonder what happened to the new lovers and why weren't we involved? Well, now we know through the latest book from Cassandra in cooperation with Wesley Chu. 

The most bizarre thing for me was the day I started reading it, a week after the release, the Notre Dame went up in flames. And if you look at the cover itself you can see one of the spires that actually disappeared in the skyline right now. So the picture that was painted in favor of the cover, is a very valuable piece of something gorgeous in history. Well, we're probably sure the Notre Dame will be rebuild, but it's not the same one as it was in the story of Malec.

We finally get to follow the fresh and new lovers on their very first holiday. I really enjoyed this book and the way Alec and Magnus were portrayed. You see the struggles, the doubts through all the events that take place, but you see the pair growing as the story proceeds. We get to see more of Europe through the eyes of Magnus and Alec and it's refreshing. 

I won't reveal any spoilers, but if you like Malec, then you are definitely going to like this saga. It's witty, funny, lovely and great to read and to know more of the pair.
