Unfortunatly I just recently comepletely delved myself into the Downton world, having only seen bits and peices of the show before now. But I do consider myself lucky that I could just keep pedaling through the episodes and not wait a week between them. And to be quite frank, I probably would have lost my mind if I had to wait.
I am writing this post because I am apsolutely in love with Downton Abbey, I think it is incredible; and if you have not started to watch then what have you been doing with your life??? And I am not only gearing this towards british crazed, period drama fans that eat this stuff up for breakfast. I mean just in general you need to watch this show, just for the story if your not a big classic fan.
Let me just start off listing everything that is fantastic about this show:
- Music
- Cast
- Story
- Cinematography
- Costumes
- Acting
- Set
And I think that covers it.. if u havn't noticed I mentioned everything vital in a show. So go go go watch!
Btw my favs are Mary, Matthew, Branson, Sybil, Gwen, Anna, and Bates. Thought u should know :)

Finnikin of the Rock
I literally believe that Melina weaves her words and characters with magic because every sentence and plot line is soo intricate and beautiful that I am amazed on every page. It astounds me that she hasn't been given critical fantasy acclaim because these stories are incredible. I particularly loved the relationship between Isobea and Finnikin, they were both soo loyal to each other! I would reccomend this book to anyone who loves fantasy.
I figure myself to be vry lucky, because I just haphazardly picked this book off of my library shelf and went into it blind. I really only grabbed it because bk 2 was sitting next to it and it boasted 600 pages. Since I love series and long books I went for it, and I am very glad I did.

Book Review of Froi of the Exiles
I went into this book very wary. I didn't exactly like Froi in Finnikin but as soon as I delved into bk 2 and his mind, I actually liked him more than Finn. (Which sounds awful, but I really do like him!) I also would have to say that I enjoyed this book better than Finn because it was wayy more complex. Which I didn't think was possible. But it was. Specifically with Quintana, to me she is one of the most dymensional characters that I have ever encountered. Besides the fact that for most of the book she is carrying 2 souls inside of her, she still was soo intricate.
Another thing that I enjoyed in Froi, was still seeing the bond between Finnikin and Isobea. They are soo much in love with each other that it melts my heart. Umm what else... I don't really feel like telling u what the book is about because there is a summary right next to the book name on here so I would be wasting my breath. But what it doesn't tell u is about the ending. I don't want to spoil anything but lets just say, it mashes up everything that you believe to know. End of story! |
Embrace Review
Started his book this morning and barely put it down. I mean I had school and track but otherwise no. I was initially intrigued by the cover, yes I am one of those people. I'm ashamed but I won't lie. I have read alot of angel books so the mythology has always intrigued me.
I gave this book five stars for a few different reasons. First the writing is very good, which really just provides a good base for a book. Next, I really liked the characters. Violet and Linc especially. I connected right away to their relationship and I felt like they had a good one from the start. So it would be safe to say that when Phoenix was introduced I wasn't exactly a happy camper. He was very dark, and too intense. Don't get me wrong, I ALWAYS go for the bad guys but he had something off about him. U can read it to find out what. But I will have to admit that his hair is pretty wicked. Sorry for ranting about the men in the story but Violet's relationships with them are pretty crucial.
I cannot wait to get my hands in the next books in the series and I am really rooting for the Linc-Violet relationship. I think they belong together. So overall, great book.
