Making Up for Monday
Hosted by: An Avid Reader, Wannabe Reader
Question of the week: What character in a book would you like to sucker punch in the face?
There is a lot of characters I really want to smack but the one character that I really disliked is Bree from the Book of Shadows by Cate Tiernan the first book in the sweep series. I know this is about teenage drama however how she treated her best friend since they were kids over a guy. I really disliked her and would of loved to smack some sense into her.
REVIEW: Defiance
Author: R.J. Redwine
Series: Defiance
Pages: 403
Format: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Summary:All Rachel Adams wanted to do was to leave her city state Baalboden to go find her father in the wasteland even if that meant facing the Curse One. When she get's to go into the wasteland its to go find a package that her father kept hidden from there Commander, and accompany by her new Protector Logan McEntire. However things don't go the way it's supposed to and both Rachel and Logan battle with something way bigger than they both thought.
My thoughts:
This story is told in a duel point of view of the orphan, inventor, and apprentice to becoming a courier like her father Logan. Then there is Rachel the one who was taught how to fight and is spunky as hell thanks to her dad. I really like them both together because they help each other in what the other lacks. Like Logan is the thinker all though the book he would have a best and worst scenario and have multiply ways out of them. Rachel on the other hand shows her red hair spunky self and acts before she really acts. Logan was also the rock that Rachel needed as she kept getting knocked down by things that kept happening to her, and made sure that she didn't go into a dark place because of it.
The villian is not really the Curse One which was described as a blind dragon without wings. It could sense though movement and sound and leaves a lot of destruction in its wake. No the real evil is the leader of Baalboden and that's the Commander, He is a smart twisted man and seems to always be two steps ahead of Logan and Rachel or is just good at planning on the spot. The first 200 pages before they even leave the city state to go into the wasteland we see the Commanders control and how evil he can be. And he loves it especially when he outwits Logan it seems he gets a major high from it.
This story was really gripping and keep me interested all through the story. I loved Logan and Rachel, raged at unnecessary deaths, and wished the death of the Commander. I can't wait until I can get the next book, and have them try to figure out the mystery that was at the end of this book.

Friday Read
Defiance by C.J. Redwine is about a girl named Rachel Adams who wants to nothing more than go into the Waste and find her father. However people in the city-state of Baalboden doesn't her to for that reason alone and now Rachel and her protector Logan must figure it out and stop it. I only have sixty-five pages left and excited about where am at and can't wait to finish this today before going to work. My next book goes toward the Read Your Book Shelf A Thon or RYBSAT. So I chose a fantasy shelf and going to start with TAKEN by Erin Bowman. Which is about how boys in these town disappear during a time they call the Heist once they hit eighteen. Gray Weathersby decides not to let that happens and plans something that's never happen before. And that's to escape over the wall.
I can't wait to finish Defiance then get into TAKEN wish me luck that I can finish the one then start on the other in a timing matter, and not get to lazy. Happy reading and have a fun weekend. :)
