      ***** I don't really mind slow books...but the fact that the plot in Insurgent is more complex is part of why I loved it so much. And it really another side of Tris in the way Tris was experiencing PTSD etc. I also really think that the whole book, well the whole trilogy really conveys a really good message not just in the importance of family but also what sacrifice really means and a lot of other things...
      I think the reason why people didn't like Allegiant was that it wasn't as action-packed as Divergent or whatever and I get that but the book really (as I said) conveys a message that's really moving in a way...
      And yeah, that plot twist at the end if Divergent was fantastic.
      The cliffhanger at the end of Insurgent left me reeling and flailing all over the place.
      The end of Allegiant left me drowning in my own tears...
      And what more could I ask for? That's all I want from books, to feel. Not fantastic mind blowing plots, or heart pounding action, as long as a book makes me feel feelings then it certainly did its job.

      *WE DEMIGODS RECOMMEND.* You should really read Percy Jackson. Then you can either read Heroes of Olympus after that or the Kane Chronicles but I read Heroes of Olympus before Kane Chronicles. Kane Chronicles had a reference to Heroes of Olympus because they took place at the same time. Then after that you can either read Trials of Apollo or Magnus Chase. I read Trials of Apollo first though, and I'm on Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor. Good luck on your journey of a lifetime and Rick trolling you by making the biggest cliffhangers ever mi amigo.

      I've read more YA than most kids my age (i think) and I'm really liking it. (Including Hunger Games, Divergent, The Lunar Chronicles and I'm planning to read more after I finish the Percy Jackson books) The only thing I'm worried about is not experiencing the books in the best possible way since I might not really be able to relate. But, and this is regarding Izzy Bonito's comment, I'm not really interested in contemporary, more so fantasy so I'm hoping it won't be a problem. BTW, I'm 11 years old.

    I agree with you. I love Cassandra Clare's books, and they are the best books ever written. Both Infernal Devices, and Mortal Instruments. The first Dark Artifacts book (sequel to Mortal Instruments) comes out on March 8, 2016. I AM SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! She knows how to wrap up a good book series!!!

    So I was in a bad reading slump that has been heavily going on since May of last year. I was having a lot of trouble, and I have a copy of Throne of Glass. So I took the risk of maybe sinking me deeper into the slump but it surprisingly saved my reading life! I started TOG in late January and I'm reading Heir of Fire right now. Seriously thank you Christine I bought TOG because of you!

Now I'm kinda sad bc I'd love to read this wieving together you talked about but I'm already through with city of glass. SHOULD I STOP TMI AFTER THE 5. BOOK AND READ THE SHADOWHUNTER CHRONICLES BEFORE CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE? Or should I finish the Series and start the other one after that?

    • @amatson
      @amatson 8 лет назад

      If you want the best experience, finish City of List Souls and then read The Infernal Devices. City of Heavenly Fire spoils The Infernal Devices, and City of Heavenly Fire is where the most weaving of the story lines take place.

From what i've heard the amount of hype outshines the book. Apparently it was a good book but there was far too much hype and it coudn't live up to the hype.

    @karkatvantas9557 8 лет назад +8

    I got a lot of those, but only the top three in the right order.
    My top ten list is as follows:
    10. Septimus Heap by Angie Sage
    9. The Kane Chronicles
    8. The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott
    7. The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica by James A. Owen
    6. The Mortal Instruments
    5. Percy Jackson and the Olympians
    4. The Heroes of Olympus
    3. The Infernal Devices
    2. The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud
    1. Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
    Skulduggery Pleasant is perfection. Everyone needs to read it. EVERYONE. It's about this girl called Stephanie who inherits her uncle's fortune after he dies (much to the outrage of her aunt Beryl and Uncle Fergus, and to the bemusement of everyone else) then she gets attacked in her home and is rescued by a mysterious man. During this, she discovers that magic is real. She then apprentices under the man, Skulduggery Pleasant, a four-hundred year-old dapper, snarky skeleton detective. The comedy is perfect, the horror is just the right level of creepy, Landy fucks with your emotions and sanity.
    Bartimaeus also needs to be read. It's a series about a snarky djinni who's summoned by a boy to steal a powerful amulet, thus begins their relationship. It explores the themes of slavery, morality, isolation, dehumanisation, class, oppression, the corruption of power, and what love really is, all while being absolutely hilarious.
    The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini is quickly becoming a favourite, but I can't judge it until I've read the ending and I'm only about a quarter of the way through book three, Brisingr.
