City of Lost Souls REVIEW


Om eerlijk te zeggen, toen ik aan dit boek begon en het hele verhaal begon met dat Jace ontvoert is door Sebastian en dat ze hen niet kunnen vinden. En dat Clary weer lekker roekeloos is door hun achterna te gaan had ik het eigenlijk best snel gehad met dit boek.
Maar! Ik vind dat Clary goed gehandeld heeft. Ze is misschien nog een klein beetje roekeloos, zeker ook met haar liefde voor Jace maar je ziet wel dat ze gegroeid is in vergelijking met City of Glass. Ik vond het verhaal beter dan ik had verwacht.

Ook vind ik hoe de relaties tussen Simon en Isabelle, Alec en Magnus en Maya en Jordan zich ontplooien, met alle gevolgen van dien erg goed. Er wordt een stuk minder gefocust op de pijnlijke liefde tussen Clary en Jace en dat vind ik persoonlijk erg prettig! De epiloog  vind ik beter dan ik had verwacht! Bij sommige boeken lees ik de epiloog niet eens, maar bij Cassandra Clare haar boeken moet je dat toch wel echt doen. Ik had dit zo niet aan zien komen, een gedeelte dan he ;) 


Ik heb in dit boek meerdere malen erg moeten lachen om verschillende quotes! Ook quotes die ik op Instagram tegenkwam ben ik tegengekomen in het boek.  

Hier zijn een paar Quotes die ik gevonden heb op Goodreads.

'I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider,' said Simon.(Vooral deze vind ik erg goed, love geeky Simon)

“Speaking of hope, did you see that shot Alec got off with his bow? That's my boyfriend.” 

“Jordan doesn't really care about the blood," Simon said now. "His whole thing is about me being comfortable with what I am. Get in touch with your inner vampire, blah, blah."
Clary slid in next to him onto the bed and hugged a pillow. "Is your inner vampire different from your...outer vampire?"
"Definitely. He wants me to wear midriff-baring shirts and a fedora. I'm fighting it."
Clary smiled faintly. "So your inner vampire is Magnus?”

Forest of Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao

Fairyloot October book was a Villainous read about an Asian Evil Queen. I did not expected much of it because I do not like Snowwhite's story and I'm new to the Asian setting. I do think that Asian culture is very interesting to learn from and about. Xifeng (shefung) is a poor girl who lives with her aunt in a little village in Feng Lu, all she has is the education her aunt taught her and her beauty. Her destiny is shown in the cards...to become the next Empress. So she set out towards the palace.... This is such a nice retelling from the POV of a villain! That is something I haven't read before. And I really liked it. Xifeng develops towards the Evil Queen and it is really nice to see that happen. Dao has a really nice writingstyle, I couldn't put the book down. Even if you don't read as much as I do or if you are not as good in English you can still easily read this book. ☆☆☆☆,5 If you doubt to read this book, do it! The series/duology is called ...

The Queen of the Tearling Series by Erika Johansen

When Kelsea Glynn is 19 years old, a group of men appear at her doorstep and take her to the Keep. There is her castle, because Kelsea isn't just some 19 year old girl. She is the Queen of the Tearling. With every book in this series I needed some time to get into the story, because the chapters are very large and it sometimes switches between POV's. Which is totally fine, but it sometimes distracted me too much. I really like this world building, I had some difficult with understanding when the story takes place (future) but after a while I got it and that made the books better. Although I did not like every aspect of Kelsea, Johansen is such a great writer. I liked how Johansen wrote the mysteries and made it all come together. I often was blown away by the revelation of some aspects of the stories! Kelsea is a strong young woman with a strong mind, but sometimes she does not think her actions through...and that has consequences. I also have a big dislike about her attit...

Given to the Sea by Mindy McGinnis

Khosa, like all the woman in the family became for her, is destined to give birth to one child and then dance into the sea. To save Stille. But she doesn’t want to die, nor she wants to be touched. Vincent is the third in line to the throne, his grandfather still rules although he is very old. His father can’t wait to be the next king, unlike Vincent, who doesn’t want to be king at all. Darah is not a normal girl, she is one of the last Indiri, people with magic and who are feared by others. She wants to find another male to breed with so she won’t die as the last of her kind. Witt is the head of the people of Pietra, the Lithos and he is the chosen one to lead the sick and old to the paths of death. This book had so much potential, but I did not like it at all. In this world it is okay to rape a woman, and you earn right the right to breed when you have a pure bloodline. Like horses. The author didn’t that much worldbuilding, I have no clue where what place lies,...
