Book Review: Let The Sky Fall (Sky Fall #1)

Book Title: Let the Sky Fall (Sky Fall #1)
Author: Shannon Messenger.
Recommended for: Everyone, people looking for originality.
Theme: air elemental, sylph, storms.
Type: Trilogy
Genre: Young Adult,  Fantasy, Mythology.
My Rating:

“Infinite possibilities. And none of them matter. 
What matters is here and now.” 
― Shannon MessengerLet the Sky Fall


Ramblings (Review):

Really do you need any other words after a gif of two adorable minions? can anything else describe awesomeness better than that still here are a few words; This book was so good I am at a loss of words, perfect in every way but the best thing about this book was that it was completely original ! No vampires, werewolves, wizards, superheroes, fallen angels or demigods not that I don't like any of these but I had gotten tired reading books based on them and originality when combined with a good plot always wins so of course this book turned out to be amazing. The concept of sylphs or air elemental isn't completely new but still it's sufficiently original and frankly I haven't read a book like this yet. Let The Sky Fall is first person narrative with respect to Audra and Vane. Both of them are quite amazing and complex characters with intriguing back stories. Audra is a strong feisty girl but not invincible ,basically no one is all powerful in this book all characters have there limitations and that is what makes this book so great. There also a depth to the characters that is rarely found in YA novels.

“We were two broken, incomplete people. Now we're one. No one will ever understand me the way she will. No one will ever understand her the way I will.” 

― Shannon MessengerLet the Sky Fall

This book was MIND BLOWING!

There is sufficient amount of humour, romance,  and suspense mixed within the plot. The story is great and a perfect page tuner with a reliable plot. There are a few things tough that had to be more descriptive and detailed specially the ending, there was nothing wrong with it but it was a little confusing. Overall it was an amazing book and I would recommend every YA/Fantasy lover to read it.
P.S. I can't wait for the next one !!!

Dream Cast: The Selection (Selection Trilogy)

Book Title: The Selection 
Author: Keira Cass
Recommended for: Chick lit fans, fangirls, Disney fans. 
Type: Trilogy
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian, Fantasy, Chick lit, Romance.
“True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.” 

For book review click here.

My Dream Cast:

Max Thieriot as:               Emma Roberts as:               Gregg Sulkin as:

           Aspen Leger                                        America Singer                               Prince Maxon

Why Emma Roberts? Because I think she can play America very well she is a great actor and she has played the rebelish feisty girl many times in several movies also she rocks the red locks.

Why Gregg Sulkin? If anyone has the looks of a prince charming it's him. Naturally he looks regal and prince like with those polished features, he can also play the part of the charming, handsome, caring and softhearted prince very well without a doubt.

Why Max Thieriot? As far as I am concerned he looks pretty much like the Aspen I imagined while reading. Innocent eyes and a ruggish face, he could play the heart broken lover well.

Theme: Factions, War, Genetics.
Type: Trilogy
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian, Post apocalyptic
My Rating:


“Knowledge is power. Power to do evil...or power to do good. Power itself is not evil. So knowledge itself is not evil.” 
― Veronica RothAllegiant

Ramblings (Review):
I just don't know how I feel right now!
This book! This book made me want to do so many things. It frustrated me, it annoyed me, it agitated me. This book made me cry, it made me whine, it made me smile, and it made me yearn for more.
“I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.” 
Beware this book isn't for the light hearted, happy endings lovers because it toys with your emotions, rips your heart out and feeds it to the wolves. But for those who can handle the heart breaks and the emotional trauma Allegiant is the perfect book. Allegiant is a roller coaster ride that you will never forget.

Book Review: Dangerous Voices

Book Title: Dangerous Voices
Author: Rae Carson
Reccomended for: Short Story fans.
Type: Short Story.
Genre: Young Adult, High Fantasy, Paranormal
My Rating:







Ramblings(Review):
For a short story it was very good.It left me thinking, wondering, imagining. It was so short every thing was a mystery,  this could be turned in to a beautiful novel, even a series. Rae Carson has the ability to make our imaginations run wild such few words. Writing short stories like this with depth and emotion filled moments is a hard task it require great skill.

What an amazing, horrific, and disturbing book!
At start this book seemed a little too disturbing for me because of the kids, I have read a  lot  of book that are a ton more disturbing but this freaked me out more because there were no adults all the bad things happened to kids, all the adults disappearing leaving only kids below fifteen behind, NIGHTMARE!

My Rating:


“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars



Ramblings(Review):
 This book is so beautiful and tragic. This artcle isn't really a review, it is about how this book made me feel. It had a perfect plot, amazing writing and deep characters. The Fault in our Stars is a tear jerking heart warming book.
“The marks humans leave are too often scars.” 
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars 
I loved it a lot because everything was so realistic and so very true. I think that every book teaches us a little something, a lesson in life and this book thought me that the world is not a wish granting factory bad things happen to good people but that doesn't mean we should whine about it the minute we start complaining we lose the battle of life we should learn to accept everything that happens to us because every thing happen for a reason and only then can we live a happy prosperous life, I feel that it is wrong to feel sorry for a blind man, or woman with three limbs because we feel sorry because we think that they are not happy that they cannot be happy but the truth is that physical health has very little to do with happiness, if a man can conquer the pain and accept it then he can be happy. Life is very short and we should live it rather than waste it all by complaining about our pain and sorrows. There is a saying: "Life is like an Ice cream, so enjoy it before it melts" I don't agree with this saying because an ice cream is sweet from beginning to end but Life is full of flavors sweet,sour,bitter and spice that why it is so much more beautiful than ice cream!
