Zwaantie wants to live the simple life and be a midwife but has heir to the thrown she must eventually marry and assume the role of queen but she feels that she is no good for the role because she balks at the rules. However, things become complicated when Zwaantie decides that instead of choosing to marry one of the lower princes she wants to marry her brother’s slave, Phoenix. The mystery that is woven into this story really adds to it because Zwaantie’s life is in danger and you have to wonder why. There are characters that you will be drawn to and ones that you will just honestly be annoyed with but it’s a story that when you finish will leave you wanting more and that’s how you know that you’ve got a good book."
"There are two kingdoms in this novel: Sol and Stella. Like how Stella has a Voice that speaks to every person and keeps them from breaking rules (some of which are stupid rules). This novel is set in Stella, so it was intriguing to read about this Voice."
"This first book in a new series by Kimberly Loth is out standing. In my mind I could see Phoenix, Zwaanti, Leo, Raaf, and Luna."
"She has created another new series that is totally engaging, complete with two separate societies, Sol and Stella, divided by a magical, misty wall that is dangerous to cross through. Magic is not allowed and the citizens are controlled by an ever present "Voice" in their heads that effectively keeps everyone following the rules by causing varying degrees of pain depending on the severity of the infraction or crime. When her brother Raaf returns from his four year training to become High Chancellor, along with his personal slave Phoenix, they are both grown up and gorgeous."
He will bring light to fight darkness and love to fight hate if he reaches into the power of his heart...”. In the second book of this young adult/teen fantasy series, Darius San Williams, now the first commander of the King’s Elite Army struggles with his emerging and ancient powers.

Find Best Price at Amazon"The first book in the Cremelino Prophecy series, The Path of Destiny, is a story of seeking your identity, The Path of Decisions is a story of finding your identity. In the first book, Mike Shelton gives us a long character development story with little adventure. Fortunately, The Path of Decisions sees the characters solidifying their identities and it moves us into the adventures, intrigues, magic, and good versus evil found in a solid fantasy, adventure, sword and sorcery fiction novel. Here is more that is good for teen readers: - The Path of Decisions is a clean story; there is no bad language and no sexual content. It is through the gift of the Holy Spirit, time spent studying the word of God, fellowship with other believers, and a sincere willingness to be a disciple that the “Someone” Shelton introduces us to in the second quote above, someone that I call God, “directs us toward good”."
"The story line and the character development continue to keep me captivated. I love the characters, including some of the surprises in the story development."
"For example, when a character is talking, the speech is a little stilted, and I just can't picture anyone talking like it in an actual conversation."
"Very good read definitely left you wanting to read the next book."
"That said, I still enjoyed the story and have read this book several times."
"I would recommend this for any sword and sorcery fan."
"This book continues the story of a heart unsure with the power of the heart and was an enjoyable read."

Its sparkling wit, breathless adventure, multicultural cast, and enchanting romance will dazzle readers of Sabaa Tahir and Leigh Bardugo. As the daughter of a time traveler, Nix has spent sixteen years sweeping across the globe and through the centuries aboard her father’s ship. Gr 8 Up—Nix has spent all of her 16 years with her father as a time-traveling pirate aboard a physical ship, navigating into the margins of historical maps to reach his ultimate goal—returning to Honolulu in 1868, the time and place of Nix's birth, to save her mother, who died when Nix was born. History and mythology fans will love this fast-moving ride through time, where mythological maps take Nix and the crew to real places with items and creatures true to the map's design. VERDICT This must-have fantasy adventure will appeal to fans of Rick Riordan's "Kane Chronicles" and Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner's "Starbound Trilogy," (both Disney-Hyperion).—Kerry Sutherland, Akron-Summit County Public Library, OH “History and mythology fans will love this fast-moving ride through time, where mythological maps take Nix and the crew to real places with items and creatures true to the map’s design…This must-have fantasy adventure will appeal to fans of Rick Riordan’s ‘Kane Chronicles.’” (School Library Journal (starred review) ). “One of my absolute favourite reads of 2016, Heidi Heilig’s debut captured me completely from the first page. “With time travel, fantasy, Hawaiian history, mythology, cute animals, and a feisty female protagonist, romance and fantasy readers will find much to enjoy.” (Booklist).

I think what I love most is the use of nautical/oceanic metaphors and similes and how they are worked into everything: the bend of Nix's hair, the floating seeds ... everything. It can be handled in a ham-handed, obvious way and I tend to resent those clumsy efforts, but in Heilig's craft, it appears natural and easy which means there was a lot of work behind it."
"Her use of language was deceptively straightforward, but textured and rich as only the finest of rare things can be, like the silk that Nix's beguiling friend Kashmir, the thief, demands at the dressmakers' shop. The pillows were sewn from scraps of silk, and scattered around the room were wooden statues and stone bowls and bone knives and strings of seeds, tiny treasures that could be slipped into a pocket." Nix is a good friend but can't allow herself to fall in love, as she has lived in suspension between reality and myth, being and nonbeing, for her entire life. Slate's ceaseless, fixated search between times and places for Nix's mother makes him seem like some opium-addicted Captain Ahab looking for the ever-elusive Moby Dick on the high seas. As far as the plot goes, the author knew just how much to tell us, and how much to leave out, letting us use either our deductive powers or our imaginations to fill in the misty areas. There is even one particular twist to the plot that came late in the book, which left me gasping and ruffling back the pages to check whether I could possibly have understood correctly!"
"I love how each book usually has a unique reason for why the time travel can happen and Heidi Heilig's The Girl from Everywhere is no exception. I would've liked a few more descriptions of different parts of the town, but I love what Heidi did with one of the places the characters travel towards the end of the novel (and I'm not saying where because it's a total spoiler). The Girl from Everywhere definitely seemed plot-heavy to me; obviously you can't have a book without one, but I felt more time was devoted to resolving the problems and getting the map Slate wants than to developing the characters."
Best Teen & Young Adult Survival Stories eBooks
The greatly anticipated final book in the New York Times bestselling Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins's groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year. While I didn't know every detail, of course, the arc of the story from gladiator game, to revolution, to war, to the eventual outcome remained constant throughout the writing process. In the novel, you never leave Katniss for a second and are privy to all of her thoughts so you need a way to dramatize her inner world and to make it possible for other characters to exist outside of her company. Q: Are you able to consider future projects while working on The Hunger Games , or are you immersed in the world you are currently creating so fully that it is too difficult to think about new ideas? A: I have a few seeds of ideas floating around in my head but--given that much of my focus is still on The Hunger Games --it will probably be awhile before one fully emerges and I can begin to develop it. Q: The Hunger Games is an annual televised event in which one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts is forced to participate in a fight-to-the-death on live TV. A: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle Lord of the Flies by William Golding Boris by Jaapter Haar Germinal by Emile Zola Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury Grade 7 Up Following her subversive second victory in the Games, this one composed of winners from past years, Katniss has been adopted by rebel factions as their symbol for freedom and becomes the rallying point for the districts in a desperate bid to take down the Capitol and remove President Snow from power. But being the Mockingjay comes with a price as Katniss must come to terms with how much of her own humanity and sanity she can willingly sacrifice for the cause, her friends, and her family. Collins is absolutely ruthless in her depictions of war in all its cruelty, violence, and loss, leaving readers, in turn, repulsed, shocked, grieving and, finally, hopeful for the characters they've grown to empathize with and love. Mockingjay is a fitting end of the series that began with The Hunger Games (2008) and Catching Fire (2009) and will have the same lasting resonance as William Golding's Lord of the Flies and Stephen King's The Stand .

Find Best Price at Amazon"All in all, this is a really good book which are a great gift for every Hunger Games fan!"
"I felt that it started out strong and Katniss showed some serious hope and depth in terms of her character and what she wanted and how she was not going to compromise, but then it became a little boring, the characters in District 13 were not very interesting and the absence of Peeta, as another reviewer carefully mentioned, took away that balance - that harmony - that common sense side of Katniss. Also I do wish there was a clarity as to what in the world had happened behind the scenes between President Snow and Coin but no explanation."
"However, it is almost given that unlike the Enders series that turned more and more unreal as well as more distant from the subjects of the first book, this one could develop with more continuity."
"Catching Fire is different than most of the other young adult fiction books, because of the character development, and the relationship from book to movie."
"She unwillingly and reluctantly has become the symbol of the rebellion and the rebel leaders urge her to exploit this via video feeds to the 12 Districts. Katniss at first feigns infirmity but eventually caves in after negotiating an agreement with the rebel leaders that they will not harm Peeta or the other Hunger Games survivors if they assume leadership."
