Super Six Sunday: Series That You're Sad to See End

Super Six Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely people from Bewitched Bookworms. Today’s about Super 6 Series That I Was or Will Be Sad To See To Come To an End. I'm not ready, or wasn't ready, to say goodbye to these books. Note: these are just some of the series because I have a ton that I'm too sad to see end/ended.

Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead (6 books)

Can't tell you how much I love this series and I think I talked about this a lot again and again before. Silver Shadows will be out this July and the last book will be released next year so..I'm just not ready to bid farewell and to part from Sydney and Adrian's minds. NO. I hold this one so close to my heart and I'm in love with the characters, particularly Sydney Sage. So it's gonna be painful for me, not kidding.

Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu (3 books)

This trilogy ended last year and I've given all three of these books 5 stars. I just loved it and the ending, Champion's ending, held a bittersweet moment but sparked hope for the reader and the imagination. I'm still sad that this has ended. Not over yet.

Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (4 books)

Cress just got released but I don't think I'll ever get tired reading more about the world and the characters because they're lovable (I meant the good ones) and the fact that it's a gives off a very great spin on fairy tales is another A+ thing.

Blood of Eden Trilogy by Julie Kagawa (3 books)

I'm still not tired of reading about vampires especially ones that Julie Kagawa wrote. Every book seemed to leave in a cliffhanger but the ending of The Eternity Cure hits the spot so much that I can't wait to get my hands on The Forever Song but..I don't want it to be over yet like the rest of the books that'll be ending.

Curse Workers Trilogy by Holly Black (3 books)

This trilogy's underrated that it makes me sad because they're really good. The ending was like Legend's that part of you is happy and satisfied but the other part makes you want much so much. I enjoyed reading this book and was sad that I read it so fast (last year) and there's no more.

The Darkest Minds Trilogy by Alexandra Bracken (3 books)

Newly found trilogy that I am in love with very much. I haven't read Never Fade yet but I'm excited to do so but I'm gonna wait for Fall because last book comes out this Fall 2014. I don't want to rush because this is one of those series I hold so dear to me already.

And that concludes my Super Six for today. What are yours? :)

Book Review: Prodigy

Title: Prodigy
Series: Legend Trilogy, #2
Author: Marie Lu
Publication Date: January 29, 2013
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopia
Add to: Goodreads / Amazon / Book Depository

Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives. Day is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him. June is now the Republic's most wanted traitor. Desperate for help, they turn to the Patriots - a vigilante rebel group sworn to bring down the Republic. But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games?

My Thoughts:

June and Day's escape continues in the second installment of the Legend Trilogy, Prodigy. As June and Day flee and hide their identities, they're met with difficult choices, meeting new people and being cautious on who to trust.

I have loved the first book, Legend, and now Prodigy is also making me fall for it. I think the second book is even better and it showed more sides to the characters. As much as I love June and Day fighting side by side, it's quite refreshing to find them fighting without each other's aid. Still fast-paced like the first book but action-packed and it had moments that had me in surprise. Although Day made me want to slap him at times especially when he can't make up his mind about his relationship with June when Tess gets in the picture, and how she got annoying in this book and I want to slap her too, and when he accused June of something she did that wasn't even intentional and he didn't even believe in her (but then he ended up being all sorry and sweet to her which was all right after anyway).

Great read and very much recommended!

Book Review: Legend

Title: Legend 
Series: Legend, #1
Author: Marie Lu
Publication Date: November 29, 2011
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopia

Add to: Goodreads / Amazon / Book Depository

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

My Thoughts

I devoured this book. Fast-paced, interesting plot with twists and turns, likable protagonists and enjoyable. I brought the book to uni today and I’ve been reading all through out the free time and continued at home.

I love the relationship between siblings in this book. It’s just precious and how I envy them! I want a brother too! A big brother that is. I also love how smart June is, also Day. But June’s discovery on her brother’s death was just wow. That would really take some time and a lot of calculations and speculations. Day, I love him and how caring he is towards his family and to people whom he’s close with. I instantly knew who to loathe in this book and I loathe them with a burning passion.

What set me off a bit was when June found out her brother died, there wasn’t enough emotion towards it. Yeah she was kind of raised in a military-like environment but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any emotion involved plus the fact that she immediately believed that it was Day who killed her brother without asking more evidence of the crime scene. Like if I were her, I would definitely demand an investigation and if they’re not willing to cooperate because they’re hiding something, I’d probably do the investigation by myself A.S.A.P. because: reason one, brother and the only family member left and reason two, the only news delivered was he’s dead and Day was there to kill him. Not much explanation, huh?

But still, that didn’t put me off too much from the book and I really, really enjoyed this and I love big brothers. I just love them, I terribly do. It’s happy and painful and I love the relationship between Day and June. They’re cute and they’d probably gonna make a kickass pair.

This has been another book that I’ve read this year that didn’t leave me with a cliffhanger but I’m still dreading to read the next book: Prodigy. I got a sneak peek at chapter one of Prodigy and that did it for me. It made me want the book NOW.
