Review: Partials


 Review for Partials by Dan Wells. Spoilers present.

My rating: 9 / 10




So, Partials. I just finished the 468 page book. Oh my gosh. It kept me guessing even though I had my own slight suspicions. 

 Kira. I liked her, although she was stubborn at times. She ended up being right in the end, and always fought to prove it to the people who didn't believe her. I liked that about her. Okay, but towards the end of the book, when she gets shot in the hospital, she tells Jayden that she's shot and can't walk. Seriously? Jayden went to help you out because you couldn't walk a few feet and he was killed. Nice one. And she's a Partial but she didn't know she was a Partial and she doesn't breathe out the Lurker/pheromone, so I guess she is a partial Partial.
 


 Marcus. At the beginning, Marcus and Kira was cute and all, but then he was constantly throwing around his marriage proposal. Stop it. It doesn't mean that much if you keep casually asking Kira to marry you. You know what she's going to say already but you keep asking as a way to try to keep her from doing something. I don't like him.

 Samm. Woo, Samm! I really like Samm. He's mysterious but hopefully loyal to helping the Partials and humans survive this other enemy. And he's a Partial who does breathe out the Lurker/pheromone that cures RM. He protects and saves Kira too. Just saying.

 Haru. I wasn't too sure about him at first, but he was helping capture a Partial, so I thought he wasn't all that bad. Then he starts getting all paranoid about Kira working with Partials. Actually, he was almost right. Still, not letting Kira near Arwen when she said that she had the cure...dude, come on. Arwen was either going to live or die. Whether it was from the RM or the supposed cure, well, it was at least worth the try.

 The Senate. I had a little suspicion that they were behind everything....and I was right! Okay, so not everything, as in RM and stuff, but all the weird stuff in East Meadow.


I was quite convinced that Xochi was going to die as the group fought their way into the hospital. I'm very glad that she didn't because I like her too. Arwen Sato is now the youngest living human because the cure that Kira brought from the Partial lab place worked. 

 Now....Nandita. I knew something was really up when she hadn't come back from her little "herb hunting" trip or whatever when Kira returned home from her Partial capturing mission, I believe. I thought she had died at first, and then after I found out about the Senate, I thought she was some kind of spy lady or something working for the Voice or with the Partials. She apparently left a hurried note on one of the pictures in Kira's room, telling her to look for the Trust. What?

 I'll start Fragments tomorrow. I have a lot to process for now.

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
