The Soul Of Books

 The Green Book by   Jill Paton Walsh My Rating: 3/5 Genre: Sci Fi, Children-fic Finished on: 16th Dec, 2020 I picked up this one when I came to know my cousin is teaching this story to her students in school. And well, there's always a child residing in me. At that point, the title seemed catchy and I thought, why not give it a try? And like any children's book, this was short and sweet. Something with which we can sit and ponder upon with our imaginative minds. ____________________________________________________ So basically the place where they used to live, the Earth, is dying. So they are all set to travel outer space in search of another, livable home. And the next day we all went away, Father and Joe, and Sarah, and Pattie, and lots of other families, and left the Earth far behind. Pattie is the protagonist here, through which we live this book. They finally do reach a planet though, and it wasn't quite normal unlike their previous home. Grass made of glass cut thro...

 Ruin and Rising (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy #3) By  Leigh Bardugo My Rating: 4 Genre: YA, Fantasy Finished on: 8th Dec, 2020 Okay, so finally done with the trilogy! Like any other series/duologies/trilogies, even for this one by the end of this book I must say I got attached to the characters. The moment I was done I had to open Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and see where all the characters of this trilogies were mentioned. I could only clearly recall Genya, Zoya and Sturmhond (aka Nikolai 😉  ) as they came as part of Grisha Triumvirate (David excluded), and I also could recall Alina was "mentioned" in the book, but I couldn't remember the context at all 😂 And good for me! As there was a tiny bit of spoiler present, which wass a significant one, which would have set my gears running since the beginning had I proudly registered that in my mind.  Glad I didn't. :P So let's get to the story first, then I'll come up with some of my reactions when I DID rea...

 Siege and Storm (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy #2) By  Leigh Bardugo My Rating: 3 Genre: YA, Fantasy Finished On: 24th Sep, 2020 Ohhkay 😕 Honestly I'm not sure what happened in this book. This was unnecessarily dragged for so long? I took so many pauses in between, and had to force myself to resume, because the plot wasn't moving anywhere.  In the beginning things got bit exciting now and then. Mostly during the scenes where Nikolai was involved. Apart from that I mainly just wanted to punch Alina for being so stupid (Sorry, no offence).  So how did I feel about this book from beginning?  Let's start talking.  In the beginning Mal and Alina both were in hiding. Alina tried her best to hide the fact that she's the Sun Summoner, because of course, else her cover will be blown. She wears heavy clothing to hide the Morozova’s collar on her neck, because that's one thing which will easily give away who she really is. So they travel, and are staying in Novyi Zem....
