Most science fiction novels, to me, are either too realistic or too fantastical.

I can't read something that has NO connection to the real world, but I also can't read something that's too connected, if you get my drift. Project Hail Mary (PHM) is just the perfect sci-fi novel.

Most science fiction relies on some sort of romance, so it was refreshing to get a 'bromance' instead, and the found family concept of this novel was very well-written.

It was realistic in the ways that humanity acted, the main character felt believable, and the science was so well written that I was learning without realising it!

The ending was super bittersweet, but honestly felt so good I almost cried. 10/10 best book ever read.

Overall, I was excited for this book. I loved SW: Rebels and especially Kanan and Hera's relationship, so when I found out that there was a prequel book, I HAD to read it.

As a romance novel, this book is like eating a brick. It's hard, it's tedious, it's just an overall terrible experience. If you can't read a slow burn, don't read this book. It's worse than a slow burn because after the book is over, it takes another 3 1/2 SEASONS OF A TV SHOW before they finally admit their feelings for each other and kiss.

As a Sci-fi book, it slaps. I enjoyed the world-building and the new ways the plot was written, it didn't exactly feel like a Star Wars adventure, though, but as a regular sci-fi book it was great.

I would recommend this to people who like sci-fi but maybe don't like star wars. Also to Emily Cowles, who doesn't like romance, (if ur reading this, Emily, you'll love it, pls read it.)

Overall rating: 8.5/10

I don't often read historical fiction, but this novel was too good to pass up!

(I'm studying German, so why wouldn't I read a book on East vs. West Deutschland?)

Overall, the writing was kind of ... wonky, but the story was fun and I related to some of the characters, which is what should be the point when writing characters.

Honestly, the plot was the only good part about this book, the characters, while realistic, were written very sloppily and in general the writing was less than superb.

I did enjoy the plot, but they could have made it MORE DRAMATIC

I read all the books in this series back-to-back, so I legit can't remember what happened in each book.

Honestly, the first book was okay. I enjoyed it, a little mature I would say, but not bad.

The second and the third book blended in my brain so I really can't remember much, except about the main character becoming ~a fantastical being~ and hating it for, like, 200 pages.

It's a romance, which I did enjoy, but they're a lot of subplots that sort of ruin the romantic activities. EVERYBODY IS TOXIC AS HECK!!

We got:

1. The main wimpy boy who has parental issues.

2. The girl whose romance with MC is forced.

3. The blonde assassin whose main romance is seeded in *checks notes * Assault?

4. The assaulter/torturer of the bad king who falls in love with the blonde assassin AFTER HE TORTURES AND ALMOST KILLS HER

5. The king who is EVIL(and a jerk)

6. The blonde assassin's sister who was forcefully married to the king and was abused until she died.

Total book rating:

Book 1: 6/10

Book 2&3: 3/10

Book 4: 0/10

Total series ranking: 3/10

DO *NOT* READ

Tbh 2nd best dystopian book read in 8th grade.

Think Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen meets X-Men meets The Selection.

I loved the characters, the plot, everything about this book!

(The sequel sucked, tho)

In this Book: Mare Barrow finds out she has magical powers and is, thus, a member of the royal family.

I generally loved this book. It wasn't A+ material, but I would heavily recommend it to anyone who wanted a dystopian romance that didn't suck.

Rating: 9.5/10

(THE SEQUEL IS TERRIBLE! DON'T READ IT!)

(Ha! You thought I wouldn't do this book. Well I slaved over it for, like, a month so I'm reviewing it!)

I liked Jason Reynolds 'Track' series, so when Ms. Anderson was like 'Hey were gonna' read this.'

I was like: 'cool'.

NO! I DON'T LIKE THIS BOOK!

1. I don't like reading books in verse. I was almost able to make it through, even write a positive review, but I've had to deeply analyze this so much it was terrible.

2. I don't like it.

Total rating: 6/10

(Anyone who was in Ms. Anderson's class knows why :0)

My favourite dystopian book of 8th grade, and favourite dystopian series of ALL TIME!!!

The first few chapters I was like 'Wait, this is a Hunger Games rip off.' but a little over halfway I had to give it credit. I'd hazard to say The Testing is BETTER than the Hunger Games.

Most dystopian sequels are terrible compared to the OGs, but this one had a good, satisfying ending that made me feel like I had gone on a journey, which is what a book is supposed to do.

The romance wasn't the best, but the characters and high-stakes plot made me grip this book so hard lol.

I originally checked it out online, then put it down, then picked up a physical copy.

I LOVED this book and I wholeheartedly suggest it to my friends, family, and others I talk to.

Rating: 9.9/10

I can only rate the first one, because I didn't read the rest of the series.

This was my first Star Wars book I read, and I probably should have tried an easier one.

This book was written in the 80's, and is the first mention of Coruscant as a planet (except in the book it has mountains and trees lol)

I was excited about the villain, Mara Jade, who seemed cool, and I was even looking forward to seeing the weird anti-force slugs to see what they did.

Boring, way too boring. This was one of the first SW books ever published, and I could barely finish it.

Thrawn is perhaps one of the most well-written villains, to the point that I hate him more than Umbridge and Dilaf COMBINED!! Seeing him in Rebels also confirmed that (Wow, a tv show got an og book character right, shocker.)

Overall, I loved the characters and plot, but I couldn't deal with the tedious cadence of the writing.

This book can be summarized in one sentence: What The Heck.

Tbh my expectations going into this were probably high (as I had just come off of reading Project Hail Mary) so I was expecting A+ work, and I got B- instead.

The writing was pretty good. No complaints there, I was reading it via Kindle, and as you know I really need a physical book to get into the story, but I just didn't connect with the plot.

I feel like many people will enjoy this book, I just wasn't the right person. Thus, I'm not going to rate this book, instead, I'm going to summarize it in hopes someone will appreciate it.

Summary: A rich dude who likes comic con pays a million dollars to have his brain frozen after his death, and literally 10 minutes later he gets run over and dies. Now, several hundred years later, he woke up as a robot (in an Radical-Christian society ) Is told he's going to be sent to space....

Honestly one of my favourite WoF books, I loved Blue's character, I loved the setting, and it just felt very low-key dystopian while still feeling like a fantastical book.

WoF is very unique in the fact that there are NO human characters*, just dragons. I feel like I can really get into the magical world *because* they're not human.

Love the world of Pantala, def a great book, suggest it to All meine freunde und mein familie!

Rating: 9/10

*With the exception of 'Dragonslayer' which centres around the humans living underground

I loved Cricket's character (Loved, loved LOVED!) I mean, a book-obsessed dragon? She's my sister from another mister! I can't believe the HUGE plot twist half way through the book, and it's honestly such a refreshing book.

I love the dystopian undertones of Pantala, the way that Cricket's disability allows her to see the cracks in her world. I alos enjoy the way they make the HiveWings act a lot like wasps or hornets, A+ art/dragon design!!
