Book Review: “Library of Souls” by Ransom Riggs

~Lumos~

Hi, guys!

So today, I’m going to have a book review instead on one of the novels I read like more than two weeks ago during our three and a half week break, like seriously why didn’t make it a month instead?

Moving on. The book is entitled Library of Souls, which is the third and last book of the Peculiar Children trilogy written by Ransom Riggs. I wouldn’t be specifying things from like the 3rd page to the last one so there would be no spoilers, in case there will be some avid readers who haven’t read this one yet

————————————–

So the story continues with Jacob, Emma and Addison searching for the ymbrynes and their friends. They did everything to get to them at the subway, across the sea, over bridges, through cars. While doing so, they’ve met more peculiars, wights and hollows that would either help them or let them suffer.

I was EXTREMELY happy when I finally finished the book. There’s nothing I can think of except that it was flawless.

The chapters were thoroughly thought, the characters were very much matured and the whole plot is just entire asbjfnsabnfidn.

It’s good. It’s that good. Just wait until the last few chapters of the book, you’re going to cry waterfalls.

I’ll just edit this post when I am able to come up with other stuff I could properly comment, which will be after I fangirl over the book.

And to the producers of the Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: don’t fail. Please don’t fail. I cannot have another bestselling work to be butchered by a movie.

Book Review: “Deadly Secrets” by David Belbin

~Lumos~

HeyHiHello there! Thank you to those guys who liked my introduction and followed me. Very appreciated, you guys 🙂

If you have remembered from my Intro, I told you that I wanted to be called Lumos for a reason. Well, if you’re a Potterhead, you could figure it out already 🙂

Anyways, I’m going to do my first post [on this blog], and I decided that it would be a book review, since I’m such a HUGE. FRIKKIN’. BOOK. NERD.

So there is a pile of books dumped in a basket, which has been in the living room by my bedroom door since my youngest sister and I cleaned out our bookshelf. We took out the old ones [written by Dan Brown, Sidney Sheldon, etc.] and arranged the new ones according to author. My dad was supposed to put it away upstairs, but he always forget. Earlier, before I went to school, I saw “Deadly Secrets” on top of the old books and, because the title was interested for me, I took it and read the back cover, which kind of made me want to read it. So there I was at school, reading it before and after classes and even skipped break in between (classes were only in the morning on Fridays). After just a few hours, I was able to finish it.

Warning though. If you want to read the book, you might as well stop here because I’ll be giving some spoilers before giving my review.

———————————

So the story is about a sixteen-year-old boy who wanted to form a band and got kicked out of the house by his mum because of playing his music really loud. To prevent him from working at an early age, his dad invited him to study at the school where he was just about to teach. At the first week of term, a lifeless body was found inside the school, and he was put in the middle of the investigation. Different people were suspected to be the killer, including the boy’s enemy, the school counselor, his own dad and even himself, until it turns out to be the person they didn’t expect to do it.

So all I can say about it is: amazing.

The twists and turns of the story are flawless. There were SO many of them in a small book with less than two hundred pages that I couldn’t believe that an author could do that. Literally, the protagonist pinpointing others as the murdered from [SPOILERS] his enemy to the school counselor to his dad [then the police concluded that he himself was the killer] then the deputy head then to one of their teachers before knowing from his favorite musician (an old student of the school) that it was his friend (the headmistress’ niece) who killed her own aunt.

And the characters. Even though the author had already given almost all information about each of them, there is still that little possibility that that character will turn around, and you won’t be able to suspect it. Adam, Simon, Naomi, Mo, Forrest and more of them that you would be able to know better as the story goes.

There’s nothing more that I can say. Like seriously, an addition to my favorite mystery books. If you have already read it and you disagree with me, I respect your view, but please do respect mine as well as we are entitled to our own opinions.

So that’s my book review. I hoped you liked reading it. I don’t know if there are still any “Deadly Secrets” book being sold at bookstores or can be downloaded from the net, but if you have one in your bookshelf and no one has touched it yet for so long, go on and read it. I cannot guarantee that it will be that excellent but I know that you would enjoy reading it.

That’s it for today. See you soon.
