hello bookworms! a few weeks ago i was sent an ebook copy of the shadowverse to review. it took me a while to read but that is just because i had exams and projects to catch up on.

i really liked the book, so i gave it 5 stars. the characters were lovely and i thoroughly enjoyed the storyline of this book.

synopsis :

Johnny Sparks longs for a greater purpose. After an encounter with a mysterious stranger, he and his friends are imbued with incredible powers—at last giving his life meaning. 

But this dream soon disintegrates once one of the friends is taken by an alien warlord named Titan. In a rescue effort, the remaining group is sent across the galaxy in search of the only possible aid—an ancient, immortal warrior missing for centuries. 

To succeed, the team must join forces to reclaim their friend and stop a sinister scheme devised against humanity by Titan and his empire. The conflict for the soul of the universe is set in motion, but even if the group prevails, they risk losing what it means to be human. 

the writing style was ver easy to follow, it was a very gripping story that i think deserves more hype.

synopsis ~ Cath and Wren are identical twins and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they’re off to university and wren’s decided she doesn’t want to be one half of a pair anymore – she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. it’s not so easy for Cath. she would rather bury herself in the fan-fiction she writes where there’s romance far more intense than anything she’s experienced in real life.

now Cath has to decide whether she’s ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she’s realizing that there’s more to learn about love than she ever thought possible………..

genre: young adult/ romance

pages: 460

REVIEW : I bought this book as i had heard so much about it that i just had to read it! i am a big fan of the author as i have read many of her other books. i really enjoyed this book however i found it slightly repetitive and too focused on Simon snow, i found myself skipping over the pages of fanfiction as i had no interest in that topic. that is a personal opinion, however, and it doesn’t mean that it was written badly at all. i also understand that Simon and Baz were a main part of the story but personally i found those parts boring.

it follows these twins, but mostly Cath as she tries to finds her way in university. her roommate seems at first scary but later the two become good friends. she struggles to find her way around and is often late to class just to avoid the crowds. slowly she finds herself drifting from her sister wren. when her dad has a breakdown and ends up in a mental institution Cath rushes home to be by his side, wren on the other hand would rather be out partying. even more tension builds between the girls when their mother , who abandoned them as children, reaches out Cath is infuriated when wren takes the offer. they go several weeks without speaking and it’s taking its toll on them. they miss many things that they would usually share with each other, such as Cath now has a boyfriend and wren is drinking too much….

when Cath receives call in the early hours of the morning from her mother to say that wren has been taken to the hospital, Cath rushes to her and all of her anger fades away…. it shows you that all that fighting means nothing and you would do anything for those that you love…….

i give it

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5
