Fabulous Fantasy

Screen Shot 2016-09-01 at 9.43.35 pm       Next we decided to read different books from the genre fantasy. In the following meeting we described our books without revealing the end or giving out any spoilers.
The meeting:
Date- 1st June 2016
Members- Aria, Isabella and Surina

Isabella read Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. The first book of the Infernal Devices and a prequel to the Mortal Instruments. The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them.’ Isabella didn’t want to reveal the end of the book because she did not want to spoil the experience for anyone. She described the book  as “catching” and “a true page tuner”.
Aria read The first my sister is a vampire by Sienna Mercer When Olivia Abbott moves to town, she’s excited to join the cheer-leading team and make new friends. Then she meets Ivy Vega. At first, Ivy, pale and dressed all in black, looks like Olivia’s opposite. Then the girls look beyond the glittery pink blush and thick black eyeliner to discover they’re identical twins!” She said the book was “cool”
Surina read The mortal instruments’s last book The city of Heavenly fire by Cassandra Clare In this dazzling and long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary’s own brother. Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter.” She said that it was the best ending but she wanted to know more things like “Do Jace and Clary get married?” and  “How many children do they have?”
 I read Entwined by Heather Dixon.  Just when Azalea should feel that everything is before her beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing it’s taken away by the death of her mother. All of it. Azalea is trapped and forced to go through the mourning process with her eleven sisters. This means they are not allowed to dance or go to parties and they have to wear black for at least one year.  The Keeper understands. He’s trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. So he extends an invitation. Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest, but there is a cost. The Keeper likes to keep things. Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.’ To me the novel was “mysterious”, “hard to explain” and “like a puzzle”.
Then we decided to read the maze runner series and meet after the vacations.
