Review: Dualed

So, just finished Dualed by Elsie Chapman. There will be spoilers in this review.


My rating: 8 / 10
I won't do a summary for this book, so let's start.
Reason for my rating:
The book seemed almost like it's a stand-alone book. The ending didn't raise any unanswered questions and everything seems good. Before reading this, I knew there was already another book scheduled for release...I think it is going to seem very separate, not how a sequel should be. It wasn't completely new, I have read similar parts in other books.
West. I liked her because I think I act like her sometimes. I mean, it was getting a little tiring for West to keep pushing Chord away and stuff, but I think I didn't mind it that much because I sort of do that. The revelation of West towards the end of the book, when she stops running, seemed just too sudden. Up until that point, she was doing everything she could to avoid completing her assignment and then all of a sudden she figures everything out just like that. It was too rushed to me.

 Chord. I know he was trying to help West, but tracking her was a bit creepy. I liked him and I felt so bad for him every time West would be sort of nice and them leave again. He was there to save her from being killed and fixed up her shoulder...so yeah, he's cool.

 Chord and West. They love each other, you guys. I. Ship. It.

Luc. I liked him but I knew something was going to happen when he went into Chord's Alt's house. I told him not to go, but he didn't listen to me. See what happened?

 They're aren't really that many characters to talk about...I'll just end with that then...

 Oh, Amazon says that Divided, the sequel to Dualed, is going to be released May 27th. That's the same day as City of Heavenly Fire's release. Just thought you should know. May 27th is a big day.

Nico di Angelo

Nico's first appearance: The Titan's Curse . It makes me so sad how Nico starts out as an innocent, adorable little boy who loves and jabbers about a geeky game. He has no idea he is a half-blood. He has no idea he's the son of Hades. He's innocent, has his older sister, and has his nerdy game. And then, Bianca goes to be a huntress for Artemis. Nico feels hurt, but still has his sister. And as time goes on, this innocent, happy Nico is destroyed. He loses his innocence. He loses Bianca. He realizes that his geeky little game is actually real, and extremely dangerous. He becomes a shadow; a sad, broken-hearted soul who rarely smiles. He goes from innocently asking Percy if he can surf really well, to promising Percy to take the others to the Doors of Death at the end of Mark of Athena. Nico is a character who I have a special soft-spot for. He lost so much, and hurts so much. He seems misunderstood, but really, he's probably one of the most

BOOK REVIEW: THE DARKEST MINDS BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN

I found a review on Goodreads that perfectly puts into words how I feel about this book. (Author: Mitch) (cuss words have been removed; points that I personally REALLY agreed with are in bold) On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian. It's incredibly dark and disturbing, but more than that, there's a certain realism to Alexandra Bracken's writing that makes the plot believable in a way few other books in the genre are. Yeah I'm frustrated, but not because this book is a generic dystopian - it's not, not because the plot calls for kids being rounded up in concentration camps and shot in the back - though that happens, but because I feel ...more "On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian.

Review: Sylo by D.J. MacHale

So, Sylo by D.J. MacHale. This is the non-spoiler part. I will tell you when the spoiler part starts. The second book in the trilogy is set for release towards the end of March, so look for it! Awesome looking cover. Yup. The beginning was strange and frankly, it scared me a little because I was reading this late at night before going to sleep. The ending, like in the last 50 pages was like: Okay, that might be a bit of an overstatement. It wasn't a feelsplosion, it was just crazy plot twists. Yeah. Leave it to D.J. MacHale to make everything complicated. *cough cough Pendragon cough* My rating: Hmm... 8 /10 It was a good book. I was definitely pulled in and it keeps you guessing. .................... Okay, spoilers below this point. Stop reading now if you haven't read or are planning to read this book. Tucker. I like how Tucker isn't the wimpy back-up football player at end of the book. He becomes a leader and the group has no idea what they're
