Hey guys. This is going to be a really quick overview of the books I read this month. I will be reviewing a few of the books in further detail. This month was a good reading month for me. I read a total of ten books.
The first book I read was Divergent by Veronica Roth.
 |
Pros: Quick and easy read with plenty of drama.
Cons: Irritating female protagonist, run of the mill young adult romance.
Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars
Recommend: Yes.
The next book I read was the Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.
 |
Pros: The female protagonist's humor, Christian
Cons: The love stories between the main characters, and some very irritating characters, namely Dimitri and Lissa
Overall Rating: 3.5
Recommend: Yes. Mainly because I heard the second book is better, and the film will be released soon.

Next book: Insurgent by Veronica Roth, the sequel to Divergent.
Next book: Insurgent by Veronica Roth, the sequel to Divergent.
Pros: Again a quick read, mildly interesting, more world building
Cons: The "heroine" spends the entirety of the novel worrying about a boy and their relationship....
Overall: 3.5 stars
Recommend: Honestly, no. Especially when I know how terrible the third book in the series is.

Prodigy by Marie Lu
 |
Pros: The male protagonist, such an entertaining story
Cons: The Female protagonist
Overall Rating: 5 stars.

Wither by Lauren Destefano
 |
Pros: Interesting dystopian story, female protaganist

Overall Rating: 4 stars
Recommend: Yes. I didn't rush out to buy the two other books in the trilogy but all in all it was an interesting read.

The Selection by Kiera Cass
 |
Pros: Aspen
Cons: Pathetic female protagonist, relationship between female protagonist and Prince Maxon, fluffy, girly, ridiculous
Overall Rating: 2 stars.
Recommend: No. Unless you enjoy girly books with little story and annoying, bratty girls who get what they want.

 |
Pros: None.

Recommend: No.

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
 |
Pros: Everything. This was one of my favourite reads this month. I invested a great deal in the characters, vying for them from the off. The romance wasn't overbearing and the story was fast paced and interesting throughout the whole book.
Cons: None.
Overall Rating: 5 stars.
Recommend: Yes. I will be picking up the second book in the trilogy, Never Fade.
My favourite book of the month was: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
 |
Pros: My favourite aspect to this book was the female character Tana. She was extremely badass without being unrealistically so. The romance in the story again was not over powering and there were many different characters and relationships including gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender which is thoroughly refreshing in a book.
Cons: That it is a stand-alone book.
Overall Rating: 5 stars.
Recommend: Yes.
