Book | 8 Novels Part II

This is Part II of my 8 Novels Saga

Part 1: THE SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL NICHOLAS FLAMEL SERIES

I blogged Part I a few days ago, you can read it at the link provided above. This second part will be about 1 of the 8 novels that kept me busy during my precious breaks, weekends and free-time. The book really sparked my interest because the story is about aliens and life outside Earth and these kind of things really makes me curious and you know one of my favorite TV shows is Ancient Aliens at History Channel and subjects related to this UFO and Alien thingy is really interesting, did i also say that these are really interesting? Like super interesting? Ok, enough of this. 

May I present to you, 

The Lorien Legacies Book 2:  The Power of Six 

written by Pittacus Lore.

This book is the sequel of one of the famous novels last year which also has a film adaptation, I Am Number Four, pseudonymously written by Jobie Hughes and memoir-fabulist James Frey. The book picks up the story where I Am Number Four ended and is narrated by the two Loric Aliens, Number Four (John Smith) who is still on the run with Number Six, Bernie Kosar and Sam after they destroyed their school from the last book and Number 7 (Marina) who is hiding in a convent in Spain together with her Cepan, Adelina.

I felt the story was told a bit fast, a moment you were reading and they are in the kitchen and one page after that they are now in the car going to a mountain. There are inconsistencies in the transition of the story and a few grammar issues that was my concern also in the first book. I'm not good in English but i just noticed some holes in the grammar. Just read the book and you will know what i'm referring at. *I'm talking about grammar but i have also inconsistencies in grammar lol XDDD* The book answered some questions that was left hanging in I Am Number Four like the second ship that John Smith remembered while escaping the destruction of Planet Lorien and up to now i still do not know why the title is 'Power of Six'. I like how the author has put some many surprises and revelations and the book just strengthened my likeness to Number 6 who's name was Maren Elizabeth, I want her and Four to be together, not with that Sarah girl.

All in all, the Power of Six is good but not great.


Latest News: Third Book will be entitled, The Rise of Nine and will be out August next year.

Book | 8 Novels Part I

This will be part one of four of my 8 Novels Saga. 

I really find time to read novels last semester even with my tight and busy schedule. Reading novels is like my guilty pleasure next to maybe.....eating and watching movies. So I've read 8 novels in a span of 5 months, reading in between breaks, free time, weekends or just read to kill time. The first 5 novels that kept my interest up to the last word were:

THE SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL NICHOLAS FLAMEL SERIES 

written by Michael Scott.

I've read all the 5 published books and I have blogged about the first book The Alchemyst, the second book was entitled The Magician and is pertaining to the antagonist of the series, Dr. John Dee, the third one, The Sorceress, referring to the wife of the immortal, Perenelle Flamel. The fourth installment entitled The Necromancer is Josh Newman being tricked by Dr. John Dee and the latest book which is The Warlock - the oath-breaker - of the title refers to a character who has made the biggest change, the biggest decision and acts out of character. And that is Niccolo Machiavelli. The final book which will have the title, The Enchantress will be released May next year. 

The series is all about the adventures of fifteen year old twins Sophie and Josh Newman who were one day a pair of normal American teenager working on their summer jobs and just in a snap had their views about the world and especially themselves changed. Every book unfolds a new story and gives us new characters to love and hate, as the series progresses, we can see the change in personality of the main characters especially the prophesised twin, Josh and Sophie as they fight through life and death to seek the truth, and save the world from total chaos and destruction against the Dark Elders. All these event happened because of one ancient book written by Abraham the Mage named The Codex. Which path will conquer at the end? Who will destroy or save the world? Silver or Gold?

Book | Kane Chronicles: Throne Of Fire

If you loved Carter and Sadie in the "Red Pyramid", you will love them more in this second installation of Rick Riordan's series "The Kane Chronicles". Throne Of Fire features an action-packed story embarking the adventure of Carter and Sadie saving the world again against the God Of Chaos, Apophis. The siblings must travel the world and find the three sections of the Book Of Ra and revive the King of Gods himself. With the addition of new allies and enemies and a handful of unforgettable characters, will the Kane Family succeed? or will Apophis rise and put the world into total chaos.
