Between Burning Worlds by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell

-

After refusing to give up the location of the Vanargade hideout, Chatine is sent to Bastille. Marcellus is a traitor to Laterre and Alouette is a fugitive on the run. The three are all enemies to a country on the brink of war. When Marcellus uncovers his grandfather's plans to take over the country, it could mean absolute destruction for Chatine and so many others.

I finally finished the sequel to Sky Without Stars. At some points, this book felt so long, but I really liked it.  My favorite chapters were Chatine's and I wish I got more chapters with her. Marceullus and Alouette are cool, but they aren't nearly as interesting as Chatine.

My favorite character in this book is undoubtedly Gabriel (though Chatine's a close second). He was sarcastic and pretty funny. At first, I thought he was supposed to be Grantire until a character actually named Grantire showed up. I read online that he was supposed to be Courfeyrac. No matter who Grabriel was inspired by, I hope to see more of him in the third and final book in the System Divine trilogy. 

Another character I want to see more of is Jorlas. In Les Mis, my favorite character has always been Enjorlas so of course, I can't get enough of Jorlas. He was so mysterious in this book so of course, I want to learn more about him.

As for the rest of the l'amis de ABC, I believe their counterparts were the Red Scar. The Red Scar was way too violent to be the barricade boys so that was a little disappointing. Like I said before, there was a character named Grantire, but he was nothing like the lazy, easy-going Grantire from Les Mis.

That ending though! It left me with so many questions and I can't believe I have to wait until the next book to get them all answered!

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...
