Loki
August 6, 2021
Favorite show of ALL TIME
Tom Hiddleston is somehow an even better actor in this show. His chemistry with Owen Wilson is crazy good, and I really liked the relationship between Sylvie and Loki.
LOVE IT!!!
No more violence or swearing than any other MCU installment.
BOOK
Lore

This book was spectacular
I absolutely loved this book. There are so many unexpected twists and turns and mysteries that you are entertained the entire time. Lore is an amazing protagonist that you support and connect to very early on. Every character interaction is either heart warming or bone chilling, and I especially loved Miles.
7/5 stars, masterpiece of a book, 100% recommend.
There is a decent amount of swearing and violence, and a scene where Lore describes being sexually assaulted, but nothing a mature 13 year old couldn't handle.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
This is my new favorite series, and this book is the best of the three. There is an enemies to lovers romance and a great cliffhanger that had me running for the third book. 100% recommend!

Awful
While the book itself wasn’t very good compared to the previous installments in the series, the movie was terrible. I couldn’t even finish the whole thing, and the ending isn’t the heart wrenching one I remember experiencing while reading. Just… no.

Good Conclusion
While I think that the other two books are better than this one, I had a really good time reading it. The open-ended conclusion was the perfect way to go, and the last few chapters had me crying into my palms with both joy and sadness.
Sex: Because of his longing for June, Day gets caught up in kissing a look-alike of her in a club, where he deludes himself into thinking that he is actually kissing June. A male prisoner describes a kiss he shared with another man. June and Day get back together and have a heated scene of kissing and partial undress; they then sleep together.
Violence: A step up in the violence compared to the recent books. There is a scene of colonies soldiers shooting civilians from rooftops, Day is shot twice and almost dies, and there are many explosions
Swearing: A few uses of damn and hell.

BOOK
Requiem
July 22, 2021
Not the best conclusion
Requiem wasn’t anything special, but it kept me hooked and I enjoyed both Hana and Lean’s perspectives. The thing holding it back from a solid four star rating was the inconclusive ending. None of the characters get good closure, and it seems like Lauren Oliver just threw in a line about not needing to know what happens and called it a day. There was also a lot of swearing, as well as descriptive scenes of death and violence. Over all great book, bad conclusion.

Better than it's Predecessor
I really enjoyed this book. The first half was a bit slow, but once you hit the 250 mark, it really picks up. I loved the airplane chase scene and couldn't rip my eyes from the pages until it was complete, and the speech Day gives slapped a smile on my face.
And then the ending came along...
I'm going to be completely honest here.
I cried.
A lot.
The fact that this book could pull those emotions from me is amazing, especially since I wasn't the biggest fan of Legend. Marie Lu's writing is spectacular. You can easily tell who's perspective your reading from, you connect with the characters and feel their emotions, and you can see every little detail in your mind.
Sex: The romance is a bit more descriptive and is a bigger part of the story than it was in Legend.
Violence: There is a plan in place to assassinate the new Elector, but otherwise much less violence than in the first book.
Language: A few uses of damn and ass.
Final Complaint: TESS WAS SO ANNOYING.

BOOK
Pandemonium
July 19, 2021
Disappointing
I enjoyed the first book MUCH more than this sequel. Pandemonium flips back and forth from Now and Then, making the story feel disorienting. Lauren Oliver also introduces a large cast of brand new characters that are not nearly as lovable as Hana and Alex were. I was very bored in the beginning, however I did enjoy the last 50 pages or so. The romance was very well spaced out, and Julian is certainly the best and most developed character.
BOOK
Legend, Book 1

Overhyped, but Still Good
This book was fun. I think that it would be a very good series for someone just starting to get into the YA genre, as there is a low amount of romance and not to much descriptive violence. I did think that June and Day figured things out pretty easily, and it was a lot like every other YA dystopian, but it was still a fun read.
Would recommend.

BOOK
Divergent, Book 1

My Current Favorite Book!
I love the characters and the story and read the whole series in a single week! My favorite character is Tris, and I enjoy her and Four's romance.
Other people should know that there is a reasonable amount of violence and shooting, as well as talk of sex, but it wasn't anything overpowering of the main plot.
Be warned that the series does not have a very happy ending (I cried and threw the book at the wall) but I still loved it. Five stars, definitely recommend to anyone who loves dystopian stories like me!
