REVIEW OF BOOK #1 - BOOK OF AZRAEL

SYNOPSIS

World Ender meets Ender of Worlds...
A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Erioa to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her. 

A King thought long dead and long forgotten.
In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago. 
Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.

MY REVIEW

I want to thank the author Amber Nicole and Rose & Star PR for providing me with an e-ARC copy of the book in exchange for an honest review

After the way the first book ended, I was so excited for The Throne of Broken Gods, and it did not disappoint!!

Unhinged Dianna was just amazing, and I think I fell more in love with her while she was unhinged. The way she killed without remorse for her revenge was so true of her>>>>>>

Her character development was so good in this book seeing the events of the first book, and I was here for it!

Samkiel, what is there to say about him except he can end my world anytime. The one thing I love most about him is how he never gave up on Dianna 😭😭 no matter how hard it got, he stayed by her side. She did everything to make him run, but he didn’t (me when?)

Samkiel and Dianna’s romance was just immaculate. The raw passion and pain and anguish they went through (OH LORD), and then we got those little fluffy scenes between them, and it was just so good 🥺

One of the things that I love about this book is the side character. The amount of focus given to side characters and their development was amazing. This is a multi-POV book so we got to see the world from their eyes as well. Logan, Cameron, Xav and even Kaden had a POV.

I’m so interested in Cameron and Xav’s story, especially with the ending, because god they deserve better 😭 (that one scene we got of them with so much anguish and pain>>>>)

On a controversial (?) note, I should hate Kaden, and it’s not like I like him. But something about him makes me feel there could possibly be a redemption arc? But at the same time, I want Dianna to kill him, so I don't know. I’m so confused with his character😭 his style, backstory, and everything makes me question his villainous persona, but at the same time, it makes me realize villain characters are not always good and bad? They can be multidimensional, too, unlike those shown in many books😭

This book ends in a partial cliffhanger(?) I don’t think it’s a big cliffhanger like last time but that is my opinion. I still can’t wait for the next one!

My Favorite LGBTQ+ Books 🏳️‍🌈🏳‍🌈

As you all might know, it's June which mean it's Pride month! 🏳‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month is the month where we celebrate the lives of those people part of the LGBTQ+ community. I read a few new LGBTQ+ books this month, and I've read many from before as well. I read one of the books I am going to mention like 2-3 days ago only, and yes, I liked that book that much for it to make it onto my favourites instantly).  I thought if I can make my bullet journal pride-themed I can also do a blog post on my favourite LGBTQ+ Books! Now this list would not specifically contain only LGBTQ+ romance. It'll have a book that showcases the LGBTQ+ community even though the main plot does not revolve around their romance.  Most of the LGBTQ+ books I have read on Wattpad, and I might be making a recommendation on that soon, but all of the books I am going to mention here are the ones that are actually published books.  1. Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston  "History, huh? Bet we ...

Chain of Gold Book Review ( Spoiler Alert!!)

-
Image
  I know I'm pretty late to do this since the book came out in March, and as of now, it's August, but I am still gonna do it.  The Chain of Gold is the first book in The Last Hours series and is set in Edwardian London and is the next generation story of The Infernal Devices series, which is set in Victorian London.  The book is mostly written from the point of Cordelia Carstairs, who is the female main character. Other main characters include James and Lucie Herondale, Thomas and Christopher Lightwood, Matthew Fairchild, Jesse, Grace Blackthorn, and Alastair Carstairs.  We were first introduced to this era in Tales from Shadowhunter Academy, where Tessa tells us about James and how he can slip in as shadows due to his demonic origins from his mother's side ( Tessa is his mother). We are also told about how Matthew and James become Parabatai.  Then in a few bonus chapters from Cassandra claire before the book's release,k we were told about the relationship of H...

Must Read Classics

        Little Women, Louisa May Alcott T his classic was published by Louisa May Alcott in 2 volumes, one in 1968 and the other in 1969. This story deals with the story of 4 girls Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. They live with their mother in Massachusetts  in poverty while their father is away for the war. It is a story written about the adventure, mistakes, and experiments of the four girls. I enjoyed reading this because of the fun the girls have and how they discover various aspects of life. Like me, Jo is a little tomboyish and enjoys to write, Meg was the eldest and is beautiful, Amy is still in school, but I find her a little bit dramatic, and Beth is the timid piano player. The March sisters had a neighbor Laurie which made the entire reading more fun with his black eyes and curly black hair. He was adopted by his grandfather and was being tutored by John Brooks to enter Harvard. You will definitely have bipolar moods reading this one. The recent mov...

5 Must-Reads for Teens

1. Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan   This book was my first ever book into the fantasy and teen fiction books. This book is filled with adventures of Demigods and centaurs and cyclopes and also with our sassy and funny protagonist Percy Jackson. This series takes you through the journey of Percy and his friends from stealing Zeus's lightning to holding the sky and going through the labyrinth. If you have already read this, you can read the excellent spin-off series The Heroes of Olympus, which has even more funny and sassy characters. The book is recommended for children above 12 and is like one of the best series that made me laugh and sometimes cry ( if you read the other spin-off, that's The Apollo Trials, no spoilers). But this is one of the best novel series I have ever read. 2. The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins Teens, if you love Liam Hemsworth, you probably have already watched the movies, but you know books are better than films. So this book series is rig...
