Hello world! So...I'm behind on reviewing books again (what else is new!) Being slightly obsessed with Psych may or may not be the reason. (I recently got hooked onto the show, lol.) Since I don't have a review ready yet, I thought I'll share with you some fantasy books. I've heard a lot of buzz about Throne of Glass and Game of Thrones (did you know they're actually two completely separate series?!) and decided to check these two books out. Anyways, I've ordered Throne of Glass and can't wait to read it once the book arrives! In the meantime, here's a bunch of mini reviews for fantasy books I've read in the past :-)
Review:
I find it amazing that a 15 year old boy could pen such an amazing/intricate story. The descriptions and characters and plot are absolutely spellbinding. I'm pretty sure this book is one of the main reasons why I got hooked onto fantasy books in middle school. I loved how Paolini could create such a rich, fantastical setting with specific customs to each region in the world of Eragon. The characters are very realistic (at least I found Eragon and Saphira to be very realistic and engaging--I love their relationship, how Saphira in some ways is like a mentor to Eragon.) Although the the story often deviates from the main plot line, I think that it immerses readers more into the setting by going on these "side trips."
