Stefano Marasà stefanomarasa — Siege is the story of the fall of Constantinople to the Muslim forces of Sultan Mehmed. Caught up in the events that bring an end to the Byzantine Empire is sixteen years old Englishman, William Whyte, who joins a ship sailing to the East in the hope of making his fortune. Captured by Turkish slavers, he is eventually rescued by a Genoese mercenary named Longo. Lord Longo is destined to lead the defense of Constantinople at the behest of the beleaguered Emperor Constantine XI. Longo comes to the battle with a quest for personal vengeance against the Turks; but he finds much more, including the love of his life. Siege reads as a thoroughly researched account of the events leading up to and during the historic events it covers. Its weakness is the length of time it takes to get to the siege itself, and the distraction of the intrigues and conspiracies of both palace and harem which dominate half the book.

Dafne Natalie _afne_atalie — This was an edgy, interesting book. I haven't read anything else by Donnelly to compare this to, but I thought it was decent. It did drag for me in parts. It seems like YA books are getting longer and longer. I liked the musical references (even though I didn't recognize half of them), but I had mixed feelings about the main character. Overall, I did enjoy it and the fact that I learned some things about the French Revolution.

Sean Voisen svoisen — I have to admit I totaly love Richelle Mead her writing style. I was really looking forward to this book, I loved Vampire Academy and was excited to see how the spin-off of this series would be. I expected just like Vampire Academy lost of action and romance, and because this one would be about alchemist I expected more insight in the cultre and work of the alchemists. I think it was because of these expectations that I felt a bit dissapointed by this book. It certainly was a good book, but there was less romance, action and alchemist insights than I expected. There was way more school life than expected. And there were two subplots which sometimes kept popping up but only in the end these plots really developed. I think it is because this is the first book that I was a bit disapointed, new charcaters are introduced, we get to learn Sydney more (I like Sydey as POV) and old characters are shown from a different point of view. I expect there will be more romance and action in the next book, now we have a idea who and what the characters are. I aslo have to say that the writing style of this book was really good, as expected of Richelle Mead. So I felt a bit disapointed by this book, but I'm sure book two will be better. I do reccomend everyone who loves urban fanatsy and/or Vampire Academy to read this one. Just don't expect the same as Vampire Academy, I quess that was my mistake :P.

Kévin Soulé soulekevin99e2 — I had to read this book for a history class and I found that the book was remarkable! I taught me the history of racism and how hard it was for African American people in the south. It had me a little teary eyed when they described how Emmit Till was murdered and dismembered. It's sad that a human being could do something like that to another human. If you wanna get into the details of what really happened that night this book would be the one.
