I’m going to eventually run out of titles for these book review posts.
I haven’t been reading as many books lately as I want to. I think I’m facing the dreaded reading slump. But it’s all curable. Hopefully. I’m going to read Six of Crows to fix it.
The Young Elites 3/5
The story was lovely, but I didn’t like the writing style. I didn’t really connect with the character or care about them. The relationships between them were also weird. None of the minor characters were developed, either. The story was just kind of average. It was okay. I am planning to continue the series.
Wonder Woman: Warbringer 4/5
This book was okay. I like the characters a lot and the story was good, but I wasn’t really invested in it. The book didn’t call to me and it took me nearly two weeks to finish it. People who aren’t fans of superheroes (like me) will be fine reading it. It made sense and the worldbuilding was good.
Of Mice and Men 3/5
It was okay. I don’t really have much to say about it.
Looking for Alaska 4/5
The characters were the most unrelatable high schoolers I’ve ever read. They were sixteen, but they seemed a ton older. The story was interesting enough, but there wasn’t much of a plot and the ending was unsatisfactory. Things just kept happening instead of there being your usual antagonist and such. The metaphors were awesome and this book was a ton better than An Abundance of Katherines or Paper Towns.
Warcross 5/5
The story was great. I love the idea of Warcross. I need the game right now. The ending of the book leaves the reader needing the second book to come out right away (I’m speaking from experience) and it also asks some deep questions.
Emika was randomly talented and the romance felt weird for some reason I can’t put my finger on, but I can live with that. The minor characters weren’t really developed, either. I’d like to see more of them.
The plot of this book was amazing, but the characters could use some more work.
A Gathering of Shadows 6/5
I’ll have a full-sized review on this out soon. Everyone needs to read this series.

I’m in between books right now, but I’m going to reread Six of Crows to remedy my reading slump and it’s going to be brilliant.
