Miss Gays Reading Challenge (The Throne Of Glass)

Miss Gays Reading Challenge

After finishing the book series by Amy Ewing I ventured out to find a new novel to read during SSR (sustained silent reading). So now I am currently reading the first book of a series, The Throne Of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Even though I have only read 15 chapters, I can guess that the title is fitting for this book because after an assassin was asked to compete to be the kings champion, she travelled to a castle made of glass where she met the king who sat upon a throne made of glass. What I like about this novel so far is that even though its a story of its own, I can still relate parts of it to the previous book series I read. What I also like about it is the strong female lead character, for she had to disguise her identity as a jewel thief when shes really the best-trained assassin. So far my favourite character is Celaena Sardothien as she is the person the story is based on, though she has done incriminating things she is still a strong-minded woman who is intelligent and skilled. From what Celaena describes in the novel her least favourite person in the world in the king and from how she described him I soon agreed with her. what I have learned so far from this novel is that you should never be too quick to judge someone because there is more to them then it seems. Something from this novel that relates to my own life is that a character wanted Celanea to be someone she could talk to even though Celeana wouldn't share things with her because of her hidden identity, and its the same for me. My friends want someone to talk to but I would just be there supporting them. I have heard from multiple people that this is a great book series and I can't wait to read more.

Miss Gays Reading Challenge (The Black Key)

Miss Gays Reading Challenge

The book I have been reading during SSR (sustained silent reading) is the third book in a series, The black key by Amy Ewing. I think the title is fitting for this book because the black key is a society of people rebelling against the royalty, The black key is also their secret symbol of recognition. So far the book has started where it left off in the previous book the white rose. what I like about it is that the main character Violet is helping other girls like her become aware of what they are capable of. At the moment I have no least favourite characters that are newly introduced but my least favourite characters that are mentioned are the royals because of how they treat people as if they are there property.
