The Sky is Yours by Chandler Klang Smith

Review:

This book fits into so many genres: dystopia, fantasy, science fiction, and I could add more. This is definitely found this interesting and there was a lot going on. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different then the normal. This is definitely intended for adults.

 

In this we a have a city that is clnstantly being terrorized by two dragons. The dragons have been targeting this city for a very long time. Some people have fled, others have chose to stick it out. In this world the wealthy are “safe” in their fancy homes in the outskirts of the city. In the city it is constant chaos not only because of the dragons, but also gangs.

 

I dislike all three of the main characters, but i think it is supposed to be this way.

 

There is so much in this book I seriously wonder why it wasn’t a series instead of a single installment.

Shocked and oh nooo’d

Popped on Facebook before laying down tonight. See a mouth dropping post... my hubbys bff who has been really screwing up his life lately is in a video posted by the police with a caption “help us identify these two people.” I am betting it is over theft, his new drugged out gal is a known thief. They just had baby together and because of her history children’s services was barely letting them keep it. Whoa did they just screw up.

All the Beautiful Dead

Review:

I don’t even know how to rate this. This author can write beautifully, but there isn’t enough balance to action, romance, dialogue, everything. Way too much dialogue. And every bit of it seemed to be a some sort of witty debate. 

 

There were characters who were written to be hated, and hate them I did. I also saw another side to them though that made me almost feel for them and understand why they were the way they were. 

 

This is is way too long. When I saw the page count I was expecting some major world building, a lot of plot, but no. There was only a girl who was messed up by the death of her mother who felt she needed to set out and save the world to right that wrong, she seemed to think she was a hero though.  In the beginning I thought this would be a evil vs good, in way it was, but it was more about blending the two and seeing good and evil in all. 

 

So so I would call this monster romance, but not the banging Bigfoot kind.

 

i feel I should add that this is very disturbing. I almost hate this book, but I don’t. I don’t know what I think of this. I enjoyed hating almost everything about it?!

Help!

Does anyone know of a fantasy read, I think this book is over 10 years old, at least, where mind control is used by the “ bad guys” of the book the to force someone to eat themselves? I saw someone mention a book they were looking for the title to where this happens in the book on goodreads the other day. It sounds like something my hubby would like to read is why I ask.

Reading progress update: I've read 30 out of 448 pages.

So far I really like this. About what happens after robots defeat humans and how they survive. Sort is following a bot who is scavenging parts from broke bots to trade. No girl or boy label but I think this bot seems more girl.

This girl seems very naive. To the point of her annoying me. I hate when characters ignore the obvious in an attempt to seem innocent.
