Venk Redde venkredde — The second book in The Kingkiller Chronicles was a dense, heavy, but thoroughly enjoyable read. It took me a while to get used to the flow of writing in the first book of this series and I knew (from reading the first book) that The Wise Man's Fear wasn't something I was going to fly through. Therefore, I didn't start reading it right away because I knew I had to be in the right mood to read a book that I had to...no wanted to pay close attention to every beautifully constructed paragraph, sentence, and word. Maybe because I knew what to expect, maybe because the world was already established, when I DID finally start reading this book I was immediately back into its world and its story. It took a little while for my brain to remember some of the details from the first book (and it will be terribly hard to remember everything when the 3rd book finally comes out), but this book was worth the wait! This book took place, once again, at University. We also saw Kvothe go off on his own. In his travels we saw him become a fighter, some of the parts of his back story (that are references in the tavern scenes) start to flesh out. We see him grow into a different person...a more well rounded person. I wish I could say a more grown up person...but that simply wasn't the case. I still spent a good portion of this book cringing at his nativity (or should I say stupidity?), and his arrogance. I still wanted to reach into the book (especially in his dealings with Denna, Ambrose, or certain teachers) and shake some sense into him. But that just shows how engrossed in this world and this story I was in. I also very much liked the ending. While there are still mysteries and still things that are yet to be unraveled, it concluded enough that I don't feel like I am left hanging. So why only 4 stars? (I would actually give it 4.5 star if I could.) The long journey (which takes up the better half of the book) was just that - long. Some of it dragged and I don't think all of it was needed. (That said, the 3rd book will probably illustrate just how needed it all was.) Still, it was long and rambling and just over the line of - it's a little to much - for me to give it a five. Also, for all of those reviews who give this book 1 star - your points are completely valid and I agree with a lot of them. (And your reviews - especially the one featuring pictures of Michael Cera - made me laugh out loud!) However, I simply enjoyed reading this book enough that I could forget/overcome/not notice anything bad about this book!

Alber Araya alberaraya — GENRE: YA Fantasy THEME: Fairies, Dragons, Mythical Creatures RECEIVED: Review Request by Author BLOG: http://seeingnight.blogspot.com/ REVIEW: Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby is just a bundle of fun, action packed fantasy that I enjoyed till the last page. I was either laughing, or wishing I owned a sword while I followed Emma, the lead character through her very entertaining adventure. Emma is a tough young girl whose dream is to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a Dragon Slayer. But when each student in their academy is placed with their chosen slay, Emma is shocked when she is chosen as a Fairy Slayer. The job is given to Curtis Green, who is now getting a very hatful glare from Emma, who sadly also thinks he’s cute. Emma discovers not only is slaying fairies hard but that there is a Giant Fairy that is more powerful than any creature she has ever hear of. She must find a way to stop this Giant Fairy from harming her friends and opening a gate that will release all the creatures that want to get out. I thought this story was a blast, who wouldn’t want to go to an academy and learn that all the mythical creatures out there really existed? Emma was someone who is very determined, even if she has to risk getting kicked out of the academy. Her loyalty to her mother’s legacy is key for her to learn how to fight this unknown fairy that is impossible to defeat. Emma is not alone in her crusade to stop the creature; her friends Tyler and Loni have her back in some humorous moments and a little gambling. As well as her archrival Curtis, who isn’t has bad as Emma think’s he is. The four of them have to get through the challenges of school, fighting, annoying little fairies and detention all the while trying to stay alive against the Giant Fairy. Overall Fairy Bad Day was an adventurous, fun filled read with great characters and an entertaining plot that any fantasy lover will enjoy. I recommend this to all young adult and adult readers. RECOMMENDATION: This is a young adult fantasy novel that carries a light tone for many ages. Fans of Jennifer Estep’s Mythos Academy and Rachel Meads Vampire Academy with have a blast with Fairy Bad Day.
