Shadow and Bone

nataliruiz — 2021-04-20 13:47:54 UTC

Author: Leigh Bardugo
Genre: Fantasy

This is the first book of a trilogy based on Russian folklore. It follows the story of Alina Starkov, an orphan who discovers she has an incredible power no one has ever been capable of holding before. She will have to face different battles and sacrifice everything in order to save her country from darkness. The question is, will she be able to do it before it is too late?

I read this book during spring vacations, as well as the other 2 books in this trilogy, and I did not expect it to be this good. The story and world-building is incredible as well as some of the main characters. You should give it a try because on April 23rd is coming to Netflix!

I think this book is very interesting, cause you can feel all types of emotions, and because it has a great story and it lets you with intrigant of what is going to happen, I recommend this book a lot to people from age 13 and more, because maybe it can be a little complicated for younger kids.

I read this book in English, I am not sure if it is in Spanish, it has 386 pages and a gold meddle for being one of the best books from the new your times.

"imposible to put down" - the new your times.

Percy Jackson- Valentina Espadas

2021-04-22 17:18:09 UTC

This is an amazing book, it talk about fantasy and the mythology. It’s pretty cool if you get into it. Its so much fun to read and it’s that type of books that just reading it you don’t want to stop.
It begins telling you about the boring life of Percy Jackson, one day in his school the boy starts to see monsters and his best friend protects him telling him that he was a semi-god and that he was in danger. He was going to the camp when a Minotaur attack him and then he won the fight.
Basically the story tells that the ray of Zeus disappeared and if the ray didn’t appear, a war was going to happen between the gods.
Percy was the son of Poseidon and he went to this adventure with his two loyal friends Annabeth and Grover. They found a lot of monsters in their way but when they finally found the ray, they discovered that Poseidon didn’t stole it, it was ares’ fault. They didn’t tell anybody because Percy didn’t want a war.
Luke (a “friend” of them) betrayed them, going to the side of Cronos (the biggest enemy) but Luke had his reasons to do that. His father never was there when he needed him and hi was upset. But the story continue and there are more adventures to live.
