THE DU LAC PRINCESS
By Mary Anne Yarde
War is coming…
The ink has dried on Amandine’s death warrant. Her crime? She is a du Lac.
All that stands in the way of a grisly death on a pyre is the King of Brittany. However, King Philippe is a fickle friend, and if her death is profitable to him, then she has no doubt that he would light the pyre himself.
Alan, the only man Amandine trusts, has a secret and must make an impossible choice, which could have far-reaching consequences — not only for Amandine, but for the whole of Briton.
MY THOUGHTS…
The Du Lac Chronicles continues with another fantastic book by Mary Anne Yarde!
The Du Lac Princess is by far my favorite book by Mary Anne Yarde, and there were many new characters to keep the story even more interesting than before. Out of the intertwined storylines, i loved reading about Galahad and Teagan. They are possibly my favourite characters in the series, in the order of Galahad, Teagan and then Alden.
The tension never ends, with an impossible love story and a quest to start. The Du Lac Princess had me sat on the edge of my seat and then when I had finished reading it, jumping up and down in anticipation of book 4!
This book is Highly Recommended for all Historical Fiction lovers, who are looking for the most epic love story ever.
The Maze Runner
(The Maze Runner #1)
by James Dashner
If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.
Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.
Everything is going to change.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.
Remember. Survive. Run
MY THOUGHTS...
I've been putting off reading The Maze Runner series for a long time. The books have just been sitting on my shelf as I read everything but them. After a couple of months, I picked up this book and read the first sentence...
Here I am, four days later. I didn't write a review as soon as I finished the book because I was too busy reading book two.
This book is terrific, with drama, the fight for survival and a hint of mystery, my three favourite things merged into one book.
My favourite characters are Minho, Newt, Thomas and Teresa, in that order. I still don't know why I like Minho and Newt so much, but I think it's because of how they are both great leaders. The reason Thomas isn't my favourite character is that I feel like too much of everything that happens, happens to him. I think that maybe Newt, Alby, Minho or Gally should be suffering as well as Thomas.
All in all, I Highly Recommend this book to everyone, young adult or not, as it is such a great book!
