King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard

-

Though Mare has been taken captive by King Maven, rebellion still burns in her heart. She can't do much confined in the walls of the palace but watch as Maven desperately tries to defeat the Scarlet Gaurd. Meanwhile, Cal trains with the Scarlet Gaurd as they prepare to take back Norta and help Mare escape Maven's cage.
    I like the Red Queen series so much! I really liked that King's Cage was told from three different points of view compared to how the first two books in the series were only from Mare's perspective.
    I didn't like Cameron's chapters because they felt slow and a bit boring. I did like how she wouldn't glorify characters such as Mare and Cal who I love so much that I don't even see their flaws anymore. After her chapters, I was so bored that I found it hard to get back into the book and that's the main reason King's Cage got three stars.
    My favorite chapters actually came from Evangeline. Before King's Cage, I hated her but through her chapters, she's managed to redeem herself. And now I can't help but love her! The stuff we find out about her is so shocking!
    I know he's the villain and technically I'm not supposed to like him, but I love Maven! I'm not sure if this is just me, but I still wish every time they interact, he and Mare will end up together. I know that her heart truly belongs to Cal. I guess they're still a cute couple.

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
